In Across the Leagues today:

• Liverpool v PSG - player picks…
• Atletico Madrid v Real Madrid - red card potential…
• 89/1 Win & BTTS selections… 

Champions League stats, including Liverpool v PSG tonight…

The Champions League round of last 16 knockout, 2nd legs take centre stage this week…

Once again, a reminder of our big-odds Three C’s to keep an eye-out for in these high-intensity encounters:

• Cards - discipline can go when the stakes are this high… with a place in the next round on the line, or faced with elimination from the competition…
• Comebacks - scoreboard turnarounds, Half Time/ Full Time comebacks, late goals, desperation and drama… it’s all up for grabs…
• Centre-backs - and other unlikely scorers… often an unheralded name can pop up with a big goal for their side…

Liverpool v PSG…

TONIGHT 8pm - Amazon Prime Video

Aggregate score: 1-0

‘Back the best’ is also a theme in huge games. And when it comes to scorers, there is arguably no better man than Mo Salah right now…

• Key stat: Salah has landed Anytime Scorer bets in 7 of his last 8 appearances at Anfield

And in the cards department, the hosts’ midfielder Alexis Mac Allister is one to look out for…

• Key stat: Mac Allister hasn’t been booked in any of his last 8 games - but he hasn’t managed a 9-game stretch without a card all season

Mac Allister has got four yellows in the Champions League this term (only one player has got more). He’ll incur a one-match UEFA ban if he gets booked tonight. PSG’s twinkle-toed attackers will be aware of that…

Atletico Madrid v Real Madrid…

Wednesday 8pm - TNT Sports

Aggregate score: 1-2

We’ve seen Diego Simeone’s Atletico teams lose their heads a few times over the years, especially late on in games, and with the scoreboard against them…

Indeed, Atletico had Angel Correa sent off in the 88th minute of a 2-1 league defeat at Getafe at the weekend. That was the second time in 6 games that Atleti have finished with 10 men. And they’ve seen red in 2 of their last 6 home matches in all competitions.

• Key stat: Atletico have had a player sent off in 2 of their last 4 home derbies v Real Madrid

Win & BTTS picks…

In the English Football League, we’ve hit on two winning doubles from our last three attempts at a Win & Both Teams to Score combo - paying odds of 33/1 and 13/1.

Across the Leagues member Eric J writes in to say:

“I play the selections in a Treble and a Trixie, so I profited from the double. The big touch is just around the corner I'm sure..... Keep it coming mate”

Here are our three selections for a Trixie tonight (three doubles and a treble)...

Derby v Coventry - Championship, 7.45pm

• Coventry to Win & Both Teams to Score @ 4/1 - in-form Coventry have landed this bet 4 times in a row, and they might not be done yet…

Bristol Rovers v Bolton - League One, 7.45pm

• Bolton to Win & Both Teams to Score @ 3/1 - Bolton are out in front as the top team in the division for Win & BTTS, with 4 more payouts than any other team (14 total). Four of their last 5 matches have gone this way…

Grimsby v Notts County - League Two, 7.45pm

• Grimsby to Win & Both Teams to Score @ 7/2 - Grimsby are joint-1st in League Two for this bet, and also 2nd for Both Teams to Score results this season. Four of the Mariners’ last 6 league games have seen them win with goals at both ends…

Coventry’s 4-game Win & BTTS streak:
