The third gameweek in this season’s Champions League will see clubs reach the halfway stage of the group phase. With a potential nine points on offer across the first three games, who needs to improve vastly on their opening two games and who could have one foot in the knockout phase at the end of 90 minutes?

Tuesday November 3rd

There are some very interesting matches on Tuesday night as Atalanta and Liverpool clash in the Stadio di Bergamo. Despite winning against both Ajax and FC Midtjyland, Liverpool have only scored three goals in the competition so far, while Atalanta have smashed in six in their two games to date. The Italians represent the biggest challenge posed to Jurgen Klopp’s side and look good value at 23/10 for the win.

Elsewhere on Tuesday, both sides should score in the game between Lokomotiv Moscow and Atletico Madrid, and at odds of 13/10, that bet must be taken. Manchester City look racing certainties to beat Olympiakos but taking The Citizens at 2/9 best price is a fools’ folly. Far better is the 8/1 on offer for Ruben Dias to score at any time. Dias scored 9 in 91 for former club Benfica and can be very dangerous in his 7th game for Manchester City, and is yet to score.
