There’s some cracking games in the UEFA Champions League tonight, with Barcelona’s clash against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge taking top billing.

The Blues head into the game in high spirits after a superb run of four wins and a draw in their last five outings.

But Barca also boast three wins and a draw in their last four and head to London with their tails up after battering Bilbao 4-0 at the weekend.

Chelsea vs Barcelona top betting tips

Thrills are usually guaranteed with Barcelona under Hansi Flick and Chelsea’s speedy forwards could get some joy against a high defensive line.

It’s no surprise to see BTTS at just 2/5 with most firms and adding on over 2.5 goals only increases the odds to 4/7.

That makes it hard finding value but over 1.5 first-half goals looks good at a best 21/20 with William Hill.

Lamine Yamal’s return to fitness has been a big boost for Barca and the wonderkid is 11/4 with Bet365 to have over 1.5 shots on target. He’s also 6/4 to test the keeper from outside the box.

Marseille vs Newcastle United

Newcastle will be hoping Saturday’s brilliant win over Manchester City can spark their season into life but they have a tough game tonight away to Marseille in the Champions League.

Facing Roberto De Zerbi’s vibrant side is a tall order after such a draining weekend assignment so the French side look worth a punt at 23/12 with Unibet.

Marseille have lost just once all season at the Velodrome and even European champions PSG ended up suffering a defeat there.

Newcastle can take heart from the fact that one home loss came against Atalanta in Marseille’s last Champions League match.

The Magpies will carry a threat as usual so combining BTTS and over 2.5 goals could pay off at 11/10 with SkyBet.

Manchester City vs Bayer Leverkusen

Manchester City’s Premier League title hopes suffered a blow with that loss to Newcastle but they should get back to winning ways tonight against Bayer Leverkusen in Europe.

The Germans have found a bit of form again and head into this game off the back of three successive wins in all competitions.

But they were humbled 3-0 by Bayern in Munich before that and City should have too much quality for them at the Etihad.

Pep Guardiola’s side are just 3/13 with Unibet for the win but combining that with over 3.5 goals boosts the odds to 6/5 at William Hill.

That looks worth a punt after PSG scored seven against Leverkusen, while the Germans are missing key players Robert Andrich and Edmond Tapsoba with suspensions.

Erling Haaland had an off-day at St James’ Park but will be back for more tonight and is 21/10 at Unibet to open to scoring.
