UEFA Champions League MD4 Betting Tips
AC Milan vs Chelsea
Wednesday 6am (AEDT)
Chelsea have looked like a completely different team offensively since signing star striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang a few weeks ago. In that period they recorded a dominant 3-0 win in the Champions League over AC Milan as well as back to back wins in the EPL. They currently sit in fourth place in the domestic competition with a 5-1-2 record and 2nd in Group E of the UCL with a 1-1-1 record.
AC Milan have been solid in the Serie A so far this season, maintaining a 6-2-1 record through their opening nine games. They have won their last two in a row but were beaten comfortably by Chelsea in their last UCL game, firing off just four shots and one on target in the 3-0 loss. They too are 1-1-1 in Group E, so this clash could shape the group.
The Blues were too good at home but can the Italian side bounce back and defend their own home field? The way the game was played last week suggests that Chelsea are just too good here, irrespective of ground. At $2.35, I think they are good value on Wednesday morning.
Viktoria Plzen vs Bayern Munich
Thursday 6am (AEDT)
Not the sexiest matchup on the card but I am previewing this one because I think there is real certainty to how it will be played out. Bayern Munich are absolutely rolling in the Champions League at the moment and I think they will have no problem dispatching of the Czech team on Thursday morning.
The two teams faced in Germany last week and Bayern Munich ran out dominant 5-0 winners at home on the back of a brace from Leroy Sane and singles from Gnarby, Mane and Chuopo-Moting. Munich maintained a ridiculous 70% possession and fired off 21 shots with 13 on target in the win.
They are just 1.14 to win this clash on the road, but I think they will pepper the net of Viktoria Plzen again on Thursday morning. Back them to put at least another four past the keeper on their way to a comfortable win.

Rangers vs Liverpool
Thursday 6am (AEDT)
The Reds bounced back from an opening round loss in the Champions League to Napoli with back to back wins against Ajax and Rangers to move to 2nd place in the group. They have, however, been a little out of form in the domestic competition, having not recorded a win in the EPL since all the way back on the 1st of September.
Liverpool went down 3-2 to Arsenal on the road on the weekend and will be desperate to get back to winning ways when they travel to Scotland to take on Rangers. The Scottish outfit have been dominant in the domestic competition, sitting 2nd on the table with a 7-1-1 record.
They have won their last three on the trot but were taught a bit of a lesson last week against Liverpool, conceding 23 shots and 10 on target on their way to a 2-0 loss. I think the Reds should be too strong again here, but I like the Rangers to find the back of the net at least once at home against a Liverpool side that has allowed 12 goals in 8 games in the Premier League.
