This could prove to be a tight, low-scoring game between two evenly matched teams. Inter Milan have not conceded a goal in three Champions League games this season. The Nerazzurri held Manchester City to a 0-0 draw at the San Siro, before beating Red Star Belgrade 4-0 and Young Boys 1-0. Arsenal also boast a perfect defensive record after drawing 0-0 with Atalanta, beating PSG 2-0 and then scraping a 1-0 win against Shakhtar Donetsk. The Gunners are missing playmaker Martin Ødegaard, and they could struggle to create chances, so under 2.5 goals looks appealing.

Feyenoord has lost just twice in its 15 contests this term (W8 D5). One of those was a 4-0 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen in the UCL opener, but the Dutch club has won both games in the competition since, scoring three in each. The Austrian side, meanwhile, is without a point in three UCL matches thus far and yet to score while conceding nine. Salzburg has just two wins in its past seven overall and has failed to score in five. Goalkeeper Alexander Schlager is suspended for this one.

Arsenal is struggling, dumped on the weekend by Newcastle and losing touch with Liverpool and Man City (and even behind Nottingham Forest!) at the top of the EPL table. It's a three-game winless run in the Prem, and now Declan Rice is out, with Martin Odegaard's absence in midfield continuing to haunt (Odegaard has an outside chance tonight of his first action since September). Sporting director Edu also made a surprise departure at the start of the week. Now a trip to the San Siro to face a surging Inter side on an eight-game unbeaten run. The Gunners are on alert about streaking Lautaro, who looks back in good form after scoring in each of Inter's last two matches. Play Inter Milan on Money Line

Anytime you see Barcelona playing in their current form, you bet on goals, and you bet on Barca dominating. This team has covered the -2.5 goal spread in five of their last six fixtures, including against titans like Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. Robert Lewandowski is in his Bundesliga form in LaLiga. With the support he has from young talent Lamine Yamal and Raphina, as well as their incredible midfield, this is a team that won't slow down and enjoys running up the score. While Belgrade is a decent enough offensive club, their defense doesn’t have near enough grit to stop Barcelona from scoring at will.

Barcelona have been on an absolute rampage in recent months. Ever since they lost their opening UCL match against Monaco, this team has been unstoppable under new manager Hansi Flick and has looked like not only the best team in Spain, but the best team in all of Europe. Just look at their recent matches: 3-1 win over Espanyol, 4-0 over Real Madrid, 4-1 over Bayern Munich and 5-1 against Sevilla. Over 3.5 goals has now hit in eight of their last 10 matches. I believe that Red Star Belgrade will score, as they always do at home, but Barcelona is capable of covering this Over by themselves.

Both clubs have been hitting above their weight-class already in this competition. Brest are currently fifth on the table, ahead of teams like Bayern Munich, PSG, Bayern Munich, Arsenal and more. While they were not expecting to be anywhere near this spot, there’s no point in slowing down now. Meanwhile Sparta Prague are fighting to stay in the top 24, and while they did get pieced apart by Manchester City, this is still a tough team to play in front of their home crowd at Stadion Letna. I’m expecting both teams to find their way onto the scoresheet, with both teams going for three points.

Aston Villa are top of the Champions League table after winning all three games so far. Unai Emery’s men beat Young Boys 3-0, Bayern Munich 1-0 and Bologna 2-0, which is a remarkable run of results. They should be able to extend that winning streak against Club Brugge. The Belgian champions have lost two out of three Champions League games this season, including a 3-1 defeat to AC Milan last time out. They are dangerous in attack, but they look vulnerable in defense, and they could be outclassed on Wednesday.

RB Leipzig are currently second in the Bundesliga table after a strong start to the season. However, they have made a disastrous start to their Champions League campaign, losing all three games so far. They can ill afford another defeat, so they will be highly motivated when they head to Scotland this week, and they should pick up an away win. Celtic held Atalanta to a 0-0 draw in their last Champions League game, which was an impressive result, but a 7-1 defeat to Borussia Dortmund on Matchday 2 does not bode well for their chances of success against Leipzig.

Liverpool should be too strong for Bayer Leverkusen when the teams clash at Anfield. The Reds have picked up 10 wins and a draw from their last 11 games in all competitions. New manager Arne Slot has tightened up the defense, while forwards Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo are in fine form right now. Liverpool have won all three Champions League games so far this season, and their home form has been excellent. Leverkusen have regressed since winning the Bundesliga last season, and they already trail Bayern Munich by seven points, so they could struggle to cope with Liverpool’s intensity.

Bet365 is our only book to have 3 instead of 2.5, and we'll take it with the expectation that a push is our worst result -- the model has Man City winning 1.9-1.1. Citizens star Erling Haaland appeared to suffer an injury at practice Monday. He will play but Man City is missing a lot of other guys. Its past three overall games have ended with three total goals scored or fewer. City hasn't allowed a goal in three UCL matches this season. Sporting CP has given up one.

Bayer Leverkusen is the defending Bundesliga champion when it finished with a historic unbeaten league season but the side is 4-4-1 so far this year after losing some key pieces. Liverpool tops the Premier League in the early going and has just one loss in all competitions. The Reds are undefeated in their last 13 UEFA competition matches against German teams (W10 D3). They have won 11 of their last 16 Champions League matches at Anfield (D2 L3). Domestically, the Liverpool defense is allowing just 0.6 goals per match in Premier League play, the best mark of any club.

Plenty of moving parts here, not the least of which being Sporting manager Ruben Amorim moving to Man United next week (November 11). It remains to be seen how his Lisbon-based side reacts, though in the Portuguese Liga, Sporting is a perfect 10 for 10 in the new season and on a staggering +32 goal differential, with seven points in 3 games and well on course for the knockout stage in Champions League. Swedish forward Viktor Gyokeres is already on 10 goals. Meanwhile, this is a rare rough patch for City, which lost twice (!) last week, as Pep Guardiola deals with a rash of injuries, most notably Rodri. The time to take advantage for foes is right now. Play Sporting Lisbon on Spread

This is going to be a very popular pick and rightfully so. I know that people see “Manchester City” and want to throw their bankroll on the club that has been one of the best in Europe over the last half decade. But City is missing too many key pieces. Rodri's injury is having more of an impact on this team than anticipated. They’re coming off back-to-back losses, dropping to Spurs in cup play and Bournemouth in league play. Erling Haaland has also been moved to questionable after picking up a practice injury. I expect a dominant Sporting side led by Viktor Gyokeres to at least cover the spread, and I wouldn’t be shocked if they won outright (+270 ML)

Dortmund are coming off the back of two wild UCL fixtures which saw an unprecedented eight and seven goals. After smacking down Celtic 7-1 at home, they blew a 2-0 lead against Real Madrid after conceding five second half goals. Dortmund is a bit of a coin-flip team -- it’s hard to predict which Dortmund will show up. Looking at their injury list and lineup predictions, I think we see a weirdly cagey and close game. Dortmund are just riddled with injuries right now and will be without the service of multiple starters, including starting goalkeeper Gregor Kobel. Sturm Graz are far from the best club, but they keep things close. Expect a cagey score here with Sturm Graz shocking the doubters.

While I do expect goals in this game, I wouldn’t be shocked if the scoring a bit one-sided. Slovan Bratislava are already in a position where they can’t play for draws anymore. They’ve picked up zero points from three matches, which means if they can’t get points out of the next couple fixtures, they’ll be the first team dismissed from UCL contention. They'll be forced to play forward-facing football, which will open up their already weak backline to the brutal counter-attacking force that Dinamo Zagreb possess with Sandro Kulenovic and Bruno Petkovic.
