Champions League tips and predictions

17:45 - Galatasaray v Liverpool: Back 5/1 Osimhen

Dave Tindall: There's absolutely no doubt who the market expects to go through to the last eight. Liverpool are just 1/5 to qualify while Galatasaray, whose fans have been banned for the second leg at Anfield, are 7/2 to make it to the quarters. The winners take on PSG or Chelsea by the way. For Tuesday evening's encounter, Galatasaray are 10/3, Liverpool 3/4 and The Draw 31/10...

Goalscorers are more interesting and the best, and most obvious, pro-Galatasaray bet would be another strike from Osimhen. The Nigerian has scored in six of his last nine games and is 7/5 for another.

It's an option but I prefer the 5/1 for First Goalscorer. He did that in the first meeting with Liverpool and repeated the feat at the weekend in the 1-0 win over Besiktas. The Reds are notoriously slow starters in games and Galatasaray will surely come flying out of the blocks.

20:00 - Atletico Madrid v Tottenham: Back struggling sides to produce goals

Mark Stinchcombe: Over 2.5 goals pays 1.74 and to put that price into perspective, six of the other seven matches have much shorter odds at an average of just 1.57.

Now an alternative way to back goals, and at a bigger price, is to side with Both Teams to Score at 1.86, especially with us technically only needing two goals rather than three for a winner. My issue here however, is we want to oppose Spurs really given their predicament, and by backing Overs we're not reliant on both sides contributing which is useful in one sided games.

It comes down to choice and which you're more comfortable with but you need to be consistent in your decision making and when backing goals I don't mind where they come from. After all, Atletico may see this an excellent opportunity to put the tie to bed in the first leg at the Wanda Metropolitano for a side that put four past Barcelona here in the first-half alone. Spurs' last outing saw them concede three goals in just 12 first half minutes and this could be a long night in Spain.

20:00 - Atalanta v Bayern Munich: Back bet builder at 6/1

Paul Higham: Atalanta pulled off a minor miracle to send Borrusia Dortmund packing in the play-offs, courtesy of a 98th-minute penalty amid some pure chaos in the second leg. They're 10/3 underdogs though against Bayern Munich - with the German giants, who've won six in a row scoring 20 goals, 4/7 to grab a first-leg lead.

There's an injury doubt over Harry Kane which should be monitored as with 33 goal involvements in 33 Champions League games for Bayern he'd obviously be a big loss - but Atalanta haven't kept a clean sheet in any of their nine games in the knockout stages so scoring shouldn't be a problem.

With or without Kane, Luis Diaz is the anytime goalscorer shout at 13/8 as five of his last seven Champions League goals have come on the road, so we'll back him to bag in an away win that's a little tighter than usual given Atalanta's UCL games average the lowest goals per match of anyone left in the competition (2.7).

And since Betfair are running the  again this week we'll put Diaz in with the match result and goals tally for a decently priced Bet Builder treble here.

20:00 - Newcastle v Barcelona: Back Hall v Yamal foul frenzy

Lewis Jones: What we have here is a fascinating one-on-one battle between two players who are elite foul drawers. It's an ideal combination on a night when Betfair are offering a free £10 bet for customers placing £10 bet builders on football.

When analysing these markets, I always lean towards the foul drawer over the foul committer when it comes to projecting totals. Being able to sell contact and win the decision often has more impact than simply being overly aggressive in contact.

Hall is priced at 6/5 to reach four or more foul involvements while Yamal is around 11/10. Both numbers appeal because I'm not convinced the direct match-up between the two has been fully factored into the market.

If this becomes the kind of intense battle you'd expect in a Champions League knockout tie, both could go very close to clearing that line. And this is where the Bet Builder becomes useful. Combining Hall and Yamal to record four or more foul involvements each returns around 9/4, which feels like a really nice way of attacking the angle.

Championship tips and predictions

19:45 - Millwall v Derby: Back overs at the Den

Jack Critchley: Millwall were a little lucky to beat Hull at the weekend, although they were dealt a pre-match blow with the loss of the influential Casper de Norre to injury. Although the extent of the Belgian's injury is unknown, he is unlikely to be risked here. Alfie Doughty is a long-term absentee, and Caleb Taylor may also be forced to sit this one out, as he did at the weekend.

De Norre's injury means that the Lions relinquish some control in the middle of the park and they gave up an xG of 3.04 to the Tigers. Alex Neil's policy was to go all-out attack and although it worked on this occasion, it's a risky strategy which may open up the game and allow Derby to take advantage. Clean sheets aren't as frequent at this venue this season, with just three shutouts here since late November.

Derby were victorious against Sheffield Wednesday at the weekend, a game in which they started at 1/4 favourites. They had four big chances, and although the visitors offered little going forward, they still managed to concede to their former striker, Jerry Yates. There have been 13 goals across their last three outings, and that recent trend will be expected to continue against a Millwall side who may not be as obstinate as they have previously been.
