March 11th: Wednesday’s Champions League Double – 6/1 Special, Betting Tips & Predictions

With the Champions League action rolling onto Wednesday night, we have a quartet of blockbuster European showdowns pencilled in from across the continent.

As reigning European champions PSG welcome Chelsea to the French capital, Real Madrid and Manchester City will also meet for an all-star battle.

For those of you looking to stick on a midweek flutter, we have taken a glance at some of Wednesday’s most attractive Champions League betting tips.

20:00 Real Madrid vs Manchester City

Snatching a sensational last-gasp winner away at Celta Vigo over the weekend as they kept their La Liga title dreams alive thanks to a dramatic 2-1 victory, that result also eased some of the mounting pressure on Alvaro Arbeloa’s shoulders. However, still sat four points adrift of arch-rivals Barcelona in the race to recapture their domestic crown, Los Blancos will be more than aware that they face a heavyweight challenge when they return to the Spanish capital on Wednesday night. Last seen at the Bernabeu slumping to an infamous 1-0 loss at the hands of local rivals Getafe on March 2nd, Madrid should also be concerned by their most recent European showdown against Man City. Falling to a 2-1 defeat when they welcomed the Sky Blues to town for a blockbuster group stage battle on December 10th, Arbeloa’s leaky defence will certainly be asked some serious questions on Wednesday.

While Manchester City might have watched their Premier League title dreams take a major blow last week, Pep Guardiola’s side claimed an immediate response on Saturday night. Mounting a stellar comeback at St. James’ Park as they eventually secured a 3-1 victory against Newcastle, the Sky Blues are unbeaten in their previous 11 appearances across all competitions (nine wins, two draws). Landing a dramatic 2-1 win against bitter domestic rivals Liverpool on February 8th, Man City have won their last three straight showdowns away from the Etihad by an aggregate score of 6-3. Likewise, claiming that stunning 2-1 victory when they travelled to the Spanish capital back in December for a group stage battle, the former Barcelona boss will be dreaming of a repeat performance on Wednesday night. Welcoming back the record-breaking Erling Haaland on Wednesday night, City will be confident of making a blockbuster first-leg statement.

20:00 PSG vs Chelsea

While PSG might have extended on their Champions League adventure on February 25th as they secured a remarkable 5-4 aggregate win against domestic rivals Monaco, Enrique’s side have struggled to find any real stability. Watching Monaco claim some immediate revenge last week as they slumped to an infamous 3-1 Ligue 1 defeat on home soil, the former Barcelona boss could also find some increasing pressure on his shoulders. Falling to another shock 3-1 loss at the hands of Rennes on February 13th, the reigning European champions have also failed to find any kind of defensive steel. Eventually forced to settle for an action-packed 2-2 stalemate against Monaco at the Parc des Princes last month, PSG have registered just a trio of clean sheets from their previous nine appearances across all competitions. It should also be highlighted, facing what could be another stern examination on Wednesday night, Enrique’s men have conceded five goals in their last two showdowns in the French capital.

Despite only arriving at Stamford Bridge last summer following a reported £60million deal with Brighton, Joao Pedro has certainly been a smash hit in west London. Cementing his spot as Chelsea’s leading marksman, the one-time Watford youngster is enjoying a sensational run of form and will certainly play a leading role in the French capital. Bagging a stunning Premier League hat-trick during Chelsea’s dominant 4-1 victory away at Aston Villa on March 4th, new boss Liam Rosenior has been filled with praise for the Brazilian international. Including a Champions League brace away at Napoli on January 28th, Pedro has registered 11 goals in his previous 12 appearances across all competitions. It’s also worth noting, the ex-Brighton striker has recorded 23 direct goal contributions this season (18 goals, five assists). Likewise, notching four goals in his back-to-back appearances away from Stamford Bridge, Pedro will be confident of exploiting a leaky PSG defence on Wednesday night.
