Champions League Matchday 3 Preview: Acca Could Pay Dividends

The 2024/25 Champions League resumes next week and presents some fantastic wagering opportunities for savvy football punters.

Seven teams have a 100 percent record after two league phase games, but that is guaranteed to change given two of them face each other in the third round of fixtures.

Read on as we look at some of the top Champions League fixtures to highlight the key betting angles to consider on Matchday 3.

We highlighted before the competition started that several betting apps made a misstep by offering odds of 5/2 on Juventus securing a top eight spot at the end of the league phase.

Victories over PSV Eindhoven and RB Leipzig have put the Serie A giants in a strong position, and they are fancied to claim another win against Stuttgart in their third outing.

The Bundesliga side have picked up one point from their first two games against Real Madrid and Sparta Prague and could struggle to cope with Juventus on Tuesday.

Several teams are completely unbackable on Matchday 3, with football betting sites rating them as certainties to win their respective games.

However, a quintet of short-priced favourites can be combined to create a Matchday 3 accumulator which is priced at just over 9/2.

Monaco, Aston Villa, Sporting CP, Bayer Leverkusen and Inter Milan look good bets to record victories to land this eye-catching multiple wager.

We successfully hit UK betting sites with an over 1.5 goals multiple on Matchday 1 and have a good chance of repeating the trick in the latest round of matches.

The games at Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Sturm Graz are fancied to surpass the 1.5 goals tally on Tuesday.

Adding the fixtures at Atalanta, Barcelona, Benfica, RB Leipzig and Red Bull Salzburg creates a nine-fold accumulator which could deliver another winning return.
