The Moldovan champion will be looking to cause on upset of the grandest proportions, but will have to deal with the lack of talent it has compared to rest of its group.

Club Brugge vs. PSG
September 16th 5:00am
The footballing world gets to see Lionel Messi do his thing for Paris Saint-Germain when they take on Club Brugge.
It should really be a fait accompli for the French champion who have now signed arguably the world’s best player alongside Cristiano Ronaldo.
With such a focus on the offensive style of its game, Club Brugge might be well endeared to think they could find a way into the back of the net.
That’s where Gigi Donnarumma puts that though to a halt in goals for PSG after signing in the summer transfer window.
Prediction: Club Brugge 0 PSG 3
Suggested Bets: R. Lukaku first goalscorer at $2.75

Leg 1: M. Icardi any time goalscorer

Under Diego Simeone, Atletico has come so close to Champions League glory and will be looking to win a trophy that has elluded them in recent years.
FC Porto is probably the weakest of the four teams in a group which includes Liverpool and AC Milan.
Madrid shoudl start its campaign with a win.

The hosts fell at the final hurdle to Chelsea in the 2020-21 final, whereas Leipzig were swiftly dispatched by Liverpool in the last 16.
The signing of Jack Grealish might just very well help the Citizens achieve a feat that has so far eluded Pep Guardiola under his tenure at the Etihad.

Leg 1: R. Sterling any time goalscorer
Leg 2: I. Gundogan any time goalscorer

Inter vs. Real Madrid
September 16th 5:00am
Real Madrid kick starts its Champions League venture with a battle against Serie A champion Inter Milan at San Siro.
In what is heralded as a group where both teams should easily progress through to the knockout phase, it is now about picking who finishes on top.
Inter will be without Romelu Lukaku who cashed in on their former striker sold by selling him to Chelsea.
It is probably the stroke of good fortune the 13-time champion needed heading into this tough road trip.
Prediction: Inter 1 Real Madrid 1
Suggested Bets: Draw at $3.50

Leg 1: E. Dzeko any time goalscorer

But Olivier Giroud might be able to cause Virgil Van Dijk and his defenders a headache.
Prediction: Liverpool 1 AC Milan 1
Suggested Bets: Draw at $4.5
Suggested Same Game Multi:
Leg 1: O. Giroud any time goal scorer
Leg 2: Total goals under 2.5
