Sergio Ramos is part of a defence yet to concede in the Champions League
"Dinamo Zagreb are the sole side without a group-stage goal to their name."
Shaky domestically yet solid in Europe, having faith in Real Madrid's backline frustrating Dinamo Zagreb may be the secret to multiple success on Tuesday night...
CSKA Moscow v Lille (17:00, Sky Sports 2)
There are certain scenarios in which Lille can extend their wait for their first victory tonight and still qualify, but the reality of the situation is that they desperately need three points on the board, and that necessity should contribute to a goal-heavy affair. The initial clash in France finished 2-2 and the hosts have the most prolific attack in Group B, whereas the visitors possess the weakest defence.
Recommended Bet: Over 2.5 goals @ [2.2]
Otelul Galati v FC Basel (19:45, Sky Sports Red Button)
Despite being stranded at the bottom of Group C without a point, Otelul Galati's debut Champions League campaign has been no disaster, and things could be different had they not conceded three penalties and an own goal in their first four games. They are heading out though while FC Basel have it all to play for and a nine-match unbeaten run on the road to defend, which includes four wins in five.
Recommended Bet: FC Basel to win @ [1.87]
Real Madrid v Dinamo Zagreb (19:45, Sky Sports Red Button)
Though three points clear at the top of the table, Real Madrid have one of the worst home defensive records in La Liga. However, for no obvious reason, they have avoided such frailty in the Champions League and are the only team yet to concede. Given that in Dinamo Zagreb they are facing the sole side without a goal to their name, the case for opposing both teams to score is a very strong one.
Recommended Bet: Both teams to score? No @ [1.54]
A treble combining those suggested wagers using the Betfair Coupon provides odds of [5.82], so for a £10 stake, you would record a £48.20 profit if they all deliver.
If you trawl through the record books you'll see that predicting which teams will be the last two standing in the Champions League this year, is actually easier than it looks. So bet accordingly, says Matthew Walton....
After a rare Serie A victory on Saturday, Michael Lintorn is backing Inter to march on in Europe with three points away to Trabzonspor......
Ajax head to France in a position of power in Group D, however judging by their recent form, things are unlikely to look so rosy come full-time......
