The bets bets and same game multis from all eight fixtures are in.
Red Bull Salzburg vs. Wolfsburg
October 21st 3:45am
Red Bull Salzburg will attempt to defy a host injuries to its squad when it faces Wolfsburg in Austria.
Salzburg’s two most dangerous forwards in the form Adeyemi and Benjamin Sesko are both out of this midweek clash following injury and coach Matthias Jaissle will have to be at his tactical best to find a way to goal.
Wolfsburg, meanwhile, will be hoping to go one better a 1-1 draw against Sevilla in its second group stage fixture.
With Salzburg missing a huge chunk of its strike force, it makes this game nearly impossible to tip given the home team still has the better team overall.
Prediction: Red Bull Salzburg 0 Wolfsburg 0
Suggested Bets: Total goals scored under 1.5 at $3.70
Suggested Same Game Multi: (Updated closer to kick-off time)
Barcelona vs. Dynamo Kiev
October 21st 3:45am
It is incredible to think Barcelona is still seeking its first win of the Champions League when it welcomes Dynamo Kiev to Camp Nou.
The unsurmountable pressure loping on Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman is undeniable now after his side was crushed 3-0 by Benfica in its most recent European outing.
The story is similar for the Ukrainian champion who was crushed 5-0 by a merciless Bayern Munich just over fortnight ago.
Surely Barcelona do not cough this match up…
Prediction: Barcelona 2 Dynamo Kiev 0
Suggested Bets: Memphis Depay anytime goalscorer at $1.70
Suggested Same Game Multi:
Leg 1: Barcelona head to head
Leg 2: M. Depay anytime goalscorer
Combined odds = $1.73
Benfica vs. Bayern Munich
October 21st 6:00am
Bayern Munich and Benfica joust it out at Estadio Da Luz with the winner set to fortify top spot in Group E.
Munich looked at its very bets when smashing Dynamo Kiev 5-0 at Allianz Arena in its most recent fixture to keep its perfect group stage record intact, while Benfica put three past Barcelona in a big upset.
Already being tipped as early favourites to go all the way in the Champions League, Bayern Munich have been unplayable in almost every game this term but will face their toughest test yet in Portugal.

Leg 1: Bayern Munich head to head

BSC Young Boys vs. Villareal
October 21st 6:00am
BSC Young Boys and Villareal clash with each other in what is the most important game for either team in their Champions League sojourn so far.
The Swiss Champion was brought back to earth with a 1-0 loss against Atalanta in its second fixture following one of the upsets of the tournament thus far when it defeated Manchester United 2-1 on match day one.
Villareal, meanwhile, is yet to find a win in the tournament after a late loss against Manchester United sent it to the bottom of Group F.
Home-ground advantage helps BSC Young Boys, but Villareal will fancy itself to pinch the points after close results against he superior teams of Group F.
Prediction: BSC Young Boys 1 Villareal 2
Suggested Bets: Villareal head to head at $2.20
Suggested Same Game Multi:
Leg 1: Villareal head to head

Manchester United vs. Atalanta
October 21st 6:00am
Manchester United will be a in desperation mode in a bid to reverse a string of disappointing results of late when it faces Group F table-topper Atalanta at Old Trafford.
United was humbled 4-2 at Leicester in the league last weekend with Harry Maguire looking in all sorts.
Atalanta, however, remain undefeated in Group F and hit this game with the momentum of a 4-1 win over Empoli in Serie A.
Expect a response from United here, but Atalanta will not prove any easy beat.
Prediction: Manchester United 1 Atalanta 1
Suggested Bets: Draw at $3.90
Suggested Same Game Multi:
Leg 1: Draw head to head
Leg 2: D. Zapata anytime goalscorer
Combined odds = $7
Chelsea vs. Malmo
October 21st 6:00am
Reining European champion Chelsea welcomes Malmo to Stamford Bridge for the third set of fixtures in Group H.
Chelsea has, so far, gone through its first two fixtures with a win and a loss to sit in second place of the group, while Malmo has looked no where like a team on the verge of qualifying through.
Malmo sits in last place with a minus seven goal differential and is yet to score a goal in the tournament.
Doubt anything changes here with Chelsea set to rampage towards the knockout phase yet again.
Prediction: Chelsea 4 Malmo 0
Suggested Bets: Chelsea win both halves at $1.72
Suggested Same Game Multi:
Leg 1: Total goals scored over 3.5
Leg 2: R. Lukaku 2+ goals
Combined odds = $3.50
Lille vs. Sevilla
October 21st 6:00am
A first win is in the group stage is on offer for both Lille and Sevilla when the pair face off at Stade Pierre-Mauroy.
After 2-1 defeat to Red Bull Salzburg in its last European battle, Lille finds itself in last spot on the Group G table and its league form wil not inspire any confidence heading into this after going 1-0 Clermont Foot.
The visitors, meanwhile, rescued a point in a heated clash with Wolfsburg as Ivan Rakitic buried an 87th-minute penalty.
Splitting hairs trying to find the winner here.
Lille should have no problem hitting the back of the net with forward duo Jonathan David and Yilmaz returnning from injury to form their prolific partnership, but the confidence in the the French team’s camp is not exactly oozing out.
Prediction: Lille 1 Sevilla 1
Suggested Bets: Draw at $3.2
Suggested Same Multi:
Leg 1: Draw head to head
Leg 2: Yilmaz anytime goalscorer
Combined odds = $7
Zenit vs. Juventus
October 21st 6:00am
Juventus aims to hold fort atop of Group H when it travels to Russia for a big clash against Zenit St Petersburg.
The Old Lady has so far blitzed through the group with an unblemished record after a big 1-0 victory over European champion Chelsea, while Zenit finds itself in third spot after a win and loss through its first two games.
The domestic form of Zenit has seen its 18-game undefeated streak come to a halt with two consecutive losses, so a game against the might and power of Juventus is the last thing Zenit would want to try and turn its form around.
Prediction: Zenit 1 Juventus 3
Suggested Bets: Juventus head to head at $2.15
Suggested Same Game Multi:
Leg 1: Juventus head to head
Leg 2: F. Chiesa any time goalscorer
Leg 3: Total goals over 2.5
Combined odds = $4.75
