As German giants Bayern Munich look to officially extend on their Champions League adventure on Tuesday night, we have four heavyweight European showdowns on the cards.
With the likes of AC Milan and Benfica stealing centre stage, we look set for a nail-biting night of European action.
For those of you looking to stick on a midweek flutter, we have taken a glance at two of the most appealing Champions League betting tips.
17:45 AC Milan vs Feyenoord
Suffering real frustration over in Holland last week as they eventually fell to a 1-0 loss at De Kuip, AC Milan will have a huge amount of pressure on their shoulders here. Nevertheless, claiming an immediate response over the weekend as they claimed a 1-0 victory against Verona, the Italian giants have continued to impress since Sergio Conceicao’s arrival at the San Siro over the festive period. Crowned Super Cup champions on January 6th following an iconic 3-2 win against arch-rivals Inter Milan over in the Middle East, Tuesday’s hosts have also gained a real reputation for their extended success on home soil. Extending on their Coppa Italia adventure earlier in the month as they claimed a stellar 3-1 romp against Roma, Conceicao’s camp have not suffered a single defeat at the San Siro since the end of October. Despite chasing a one-goal deficit on Tuesday night, AC Milan will be confident of completing a crucial comeback on home soil.
While Feyenoord might have dragged themselves to a crucial first-leg advantage last week, the Dutch outfit have drastically failed to find any kind of stability this season. Parting ways with Brian Prise last week, Tuesday’s guests have recorded consecutive victories on just a single occasion since opening the New Year. Signing off their Champions League group stage campaign with a nightmare 6-1 drumming at the hands of Lille, the Rotterdam-based outfit have continued to show some glaring issues on their travels. Eventually forced to settle for a 0-0 stalemate away at NEC Breda over the weekend, Feyenoord have collected just two points from any of their previous five away fixtures across all competitions. While the Dutch heavyweights might be dreaming of the chance to collect a famous Champions League scalp here, interim boss Pascal Bosschaart has an almighty task on his hands at the San Siro on Tuesday evening.

20:00 Benfica vs Monaco
Claiming a first-leg advantage when they travelled over to France last week as they snatched a 1-0 victory on foreign soil, Benfica are enjoying what has been a real purple patch. Likewise, landing another 1-0 win against Santa Clara over the weekend, Bruno Lage’s men find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Despite suffering an infamous Champions League collapse against Barcelona last month, the former Wolves boss has seen his squad come roaring back in an eye-catching fashion. Laying down a heavyweight European marker on January 29th as they secured a 2-0 victory away at Italian icons Juventus, Tuesday’s hosts have now won each of their previous five appearances across all competitions. It should also be noted, last seen in Lisbon claiming an action-packed 3-2 win against Moreirense, Benfica have won three of their last four showdowns at the Estadio da Luz. Likewise, Lage’s side have registered 14 goals in those four consecutive home fixtures.
Making a sensational return to winning ways over the weekend as they claimed a remarkable 7-1 victory against Nantes, Monaco will be desperately seeking a repeat performance here. However, putting in a downbeat display as the Stade Louis II as they fell to that 1-0 loss last week, Tuesday’s guests have continued to gain a reputation for their inconsistencies. Falling to a routine 4-1 drumming at the hands of domestic rivals PSG earlier in the month, Ali Hutter’s side have won just a quartet of their previous 11 appearances across all competitions. Signing off their Champions League group stage adventure with a 3-0 defeat against Inter Milan, Monaco have also shown some glaring issues on the road. Including a 2-1 defeat against Montpellier on January 17th, the former Eintracht Frankfurt boss has seen his squad lose each of their previous four consecutive showdowns away from the Stade Louis II.
