Champions League tonight: 55/1 Bet Builder…

Last week’s Champions League games continued the high-scoring theme of recent seasons. Thirteen of the 18 fixtures went Over 2.5 Goals. With a collection of massive score-lines in there: 6-0, 6-3, 4-3 (x2), and a 3-3, for example…

Bradley Barcola scored a hat-trick in Liverpool’s 6-3 win at LASK Linz. That was a nice boost for our triple-figure Each Way outsider for Champions League top scorer. We took top prices of 150/1 and 125/1 last month. He’s now 25/1 in general.

Our 2026/27 UEFA cups mega acca got off to the best possible start. With Arsenal (3-0), Bayer Leverkusen (4-0), and Brighton (4-0) all recording comprehensive victories. In the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League, respectively. That 200/1+ Each Way treble is today trading at closer to 150/1.

We can expect goal-scoring entertainment again in Europe this week. Starting with a big game this evening…

PSG v Barcelona

Champions League - 8pm, TNT Sports

A wealth of riches on show in this one. Six of the last seven meetings between PSG and Barcelona have gone Over 2.5 Goals. This feels like a night to get behind the star names - and watch them shine…

• Lamine Yamal has landed Score or Assist bets in each of his last 9 appearances for Barca
• Raphinha has paid out for Anytime Scorer in 8 of his last 10 appearances for Barcelona - including 2 hat-tricks. He’s back from injury and in line to start tonight
• Anthony Gordon has provided Score or Assist payouts in his last 2 starts for Barcelona. And in 3 games in a row for England before that
• Desire Doue got a goal and an assist at Man City last week. The 21-year-old PSG star has landed Score or Assist bets in his last 3 starts for club & country
• Ousmane Dembele has scored in his last 2 apps against former club Barca. The French forward has landed Anytime Scorer bets in each of his last 2 PSG games - and in 6 in a row in the Champions League
• Fermin Lopez has been Shown a Card in 3 of his last 5 apps for club & country

This six-fold Bet Builder pays 55/1 with William Hill. With their ‘Impact Sub’ offer (some bookies call this ‘Super Sub’ etc) helping keep our selections alive & kicking (bet rolls on to the subbed-on player)...
