With the Champions League second-leg showdowns getting underway on Tuesday, plenty of European giants will be looking to punch their respective quarter-final spots.
As Liverpool welcome PSG to Anfield for what is another all-star battle, the likes of Barcelona and Inter Milan will be looking to lay down their own markers on home soil.
Ahead of what is a stacked Tuesday night of Champions League action, we have taken a glance at some of the most appealing European betting markets.
20:00 Bayer Leverkusen vs Bayern Munich
While some around the Allianz might have been left shocked last summer following Vincent Kompany’s arrival, Bayern Munich are clearly enjoying life under the former Burnley boss. Putting in what was a sensational first-leg display on home soil last week as they stormed their way to a 3-0 romp, Tuesday’s guests will be looking to officially book their quarter-final ticket with a major statement of intent. Despite suffering a real collapse over the weekend as they fell to a shock 3-2 loss at the hands of Bochum, Kompany’s side hold a commanding eight-point buffer at the top of the Bundesliga table. Already with one eye on the quarter-finals, Bayern will also be excited by their recent success away from the Allianz. Last seen on their travels storming their way to a stellar 3-1 victory against Stuttgart, Kompany’s side have registered 10 points from their last four away fixtures across all competitions.
Watching their Champions League dreams take a major blow last week as they slumped to that 3-0 drumming at the Allianz, Bayer Leverkusen have received some real criticism over the past few days. While Xabi Alonso might have guided Tuesday’s hosts to a maiden Bundesliga crown last season, the reigning German champions have now won just a pair of their previous six appearances across all competitions. Failing to claim an immediate boost last weekend as they suffered a shock 2-0 loss at home against Werder Bremen, Leverkusen will have plenty of pressure on their shoulders here. It should also be noted, Alonso’s side have failed to win any of their previous three showdowns at the BayArena within 90 minutes. Although the midweek hosts might have collected seven points from their last three Bundesliga showdowns against Munich at the BayArena, they are seeking a real miracle on home soil.

20:00 Inter Milan vs Feyenoord
Claiming what was a deserved 2-0 victory when they travelled to the Netherlands last week, Inter Milan are sat firmly in the driving seat when they return to the San Siro on Tuesday night. Finding a route back to the top of the Serie A table, Simone Inzaghi’s side have come roaring back since their minor blip last month. With their sights firmly set on mounting a genuine Champions League charge this season, the former Lazio boss has also seen his squad gain a reputation for their extended success on home soil. Keeping up their recent purple patch over the weekend as they secured an action-packed 3-2 victory against Monza, Inter Milan have not suffered a single defeat at the San Siro since the end of September. Already with one foot in the quarter-finals, Tuesday’s hosts will be confident of laying down another statement of intent in midweek.
While Feyenoord might have officially appointed new boss Robin van Persie last month, the one-time Manchester United striker has a major job on his hands. Travelling back to the San Siro on Tuesday night chasing a two-goal deficit, the Rotterdam-based outfit are seeking a real Champions League miracle here. Mustering just a single victory from any of their previous five appearances across all competitions, Feyenoord have also continued to show some extended issues on the road. Along with failing to win any of their last six consecutive showdowns away from De Kuip, van Persie’s side have also notched just a single victory on their travels since the middle of December. Despite remarkably edging past AC Milan last month thanks to a famous 2-1 aggregate win, Tuesday’s guests will be bracing themselves for what will be a far more challenging test in midweek.
