The Champions League is back, and we have 18 fabulous fixtures to enjoy across Tuesday and Wednesday evening.<\/span><\/p>\n

Atletico Madrid vs Manchester United<\/b><\/a> is the standout contest on the first night of European action, before an absolute Wednesday blockbuster in <\/span>Manchester City vs Paris Saint-Germain<\/b><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

We cannot wait for the action to get underway, and below is a fresh batch of <\/span>sports betting<\/b><\/a> tips for Matchday 2 of the League Phase, which features the latest <\/span>Champions League odds<\/b><\/a> from NetBet Sport.<\/span><\/p>\n

*All odds are subject to change<\/b><\/p>\n

Inter Milan vs Club Brugge: Inter Milan total goals – Over 2.5 @ 1.80<\/b><\/h2>\n

Inter continued their impressive streak of scoring at least three goals in a 2026-27 match at San Siro on the weekend, the Italian champions beating Parma 3-0. So confidence levels will be very high indeed, and we therefore expect Inter to put Club Brugge to the sword here. The Belgian side lost 3-2 at home to Aston Villa on Matchday 1, keeping just one clean sheet in the previous four games. With key figures Lautaro Martinez, Marcus Thuram and Hakan Calhanoglu already netting 10 Serie A goals between them in 2026-27, another convincing Inter display beckons at San Siro.<\/span><\/p>\n

Arsenal vs Lille: Anytime goalscorer – Viktor Gyokeres @ 2.05<\/b><\/h2>\n

We were a tad surprised to see Gyokeres not get the nod to start against Leeds on the weekend after scoring in four consecutive Nations League matches for Sweden across the international break. The striker came off the bench and performed well as Arsenal came from a goal down to win 2-1, and with Kai Havertz\u2019s fitness requiring strict management, expect Gyokeres to feature from the off here. And four of the Swede\u2019s five Champions League goals last season came in the League Phase, three of them tallied at the Emirates as well. So we are firmly backing him to deliver for Mikel Arteta on Tuesday night.<\/span><\/p>\n

Atletico Madrid vs Manchester United: Atletico Madrid total goals – Over 1.5 @ 1.57<\/b><\/h2>\n

Since losing 2-1 to Liverpool on Matchday 1, Atletico Madrid have well and truly hit their stride. Diego Simeone\u2019s men won each of the last four matches, scoring 10 goals in the process. Atletico also netted at least twice in every single game at the Wanda Metropolitano thus far in 2026-27, ominous signs indeed for out-of-sorts Manchester United. The Red Devils have kept just one clean sheet all season, even failing to keep out 10-man Tottenham at Old Trafford on the weekend. If Atletico score early and really get the passionate crowd going, you fear for Michael Carrick\u2019s men.<\/span><\/p>\n

Galatasaray vs Barcelona: Player to score or assist – Anthony Gordon @ 1.60<\/b><\/h2>\n

With Lamine Yamal (1.32), Gabriel Jesus (1.35) and Karim Adeyemi (1.44) priced very, very low in this market, Gordon is the far more valuable option for free-scoring Barcelona. With Raphinha ruled out due to injury, the England international should resume his starting role in attack after scoring in the 3-0 victory over Getafe on the weekend. Gordon has a goal and four assists in La Liga action, while his current Champions League record reads 10 goals and two assists from 19 appearances – impressive stuff. Over to you, Anthony!<\/span><\/p>\n

Manchester City vs Paris Saint-Germain: Anytime goalscorer – Erling Haaland @ 1.91<\/b><\/h2>\n

Whenever there is an opportunity to get Haaland at close to evens in the Anytime Goalscorer market, grab it with both hands! The Norwegian striker has eight goals in as many appearances for Manchester City across all competitions this term, and his Champions League record of 59 goals in 59 games is just extraordinary. Furthermore, Paris Saint-Germain have looked far from convincing at the back of late, with Luis Enrique\u2019s men keeping just one clean sheet in the last eight matches. Another display of Erling excellence at the Etihad looks firmly on the cards.<\/span><\/p>\n
