Football’s most popular club competition makes its return this Tuesday and here, we’ll preview some of the top games while discussing the betting offers available on **BetKing** . **AC Milan vs. Newcastle United** Newcastle will travel to the famous San Siro stadium for their first Champions League match in 20 years. The Magpies, who had started the league season with a win, finally snapped their three-game losing streak with a hard-fought 1-0 triumph over Brentford last Saturday, propelling them to 11th spot in the standings. Callum Wilson, displaying remarkable precision, calmly converted a penalty shortly after the one-hour mark, extending his remarkable streak of ten consecutive successful penalty attempts. Milan suffered a humiliating 5-1 defeat at the hands of Inter on Saturday. It was their 5th Milan Derby loss in a row and the first time since 1974 that they had given up 5 goals to Inter. Having started the season in fine form prior to the weekend defeat, Stefano Pioli will hope Fikayo Tomori’s return would bring some balance to the team. This will be the first ever meeting between both sides. However, Newcastle will visit with Sandro Tonali whom they acquired from the Rossoneri this summer. Milan will hope their recent struggles against English sides don’t resurface this time. The seven-time Champions League winners have only managed one victory in their last 11 encounters with English opponents, settling for two draws and enduring eight losses. Considering Newcastle’s strong defensive performance last Saturday, this streak might be extended. However, it’s worth noting that the Magpies have also encountered challenges in big matches this season, which raises some concerns. Perhaps, a close game is where the value lies for our online sports betting community. **Betting Tips**
**Paris Saint-Germain vs. Borussia Dortmund** Paris Saint-Germain start their 16th campaign in the Champions League at home to Dortmund, but their confidence isn’t at its peak. A disheartening 3-2 defeat against Nice last Friday marked their worst start to a Ligue 1 season in 13 years, predating the Qatari owners and the endless wealth that accompanied them. Despite a lack of preseason preparation and a highly publicized falling out with the club’s top management, Kylian Mbappé has wasted no time in regaining top form. The French forward has already notched an impressive seven goals in just four league matches. As a result, we expect Mbappé to maintain his exceptional form and find the back of the net at any point during Tuesday’s match. At **BetKing** , we provide the best odds for this prop among all betting sites. However, we can’t guarantee that it would be enough as their defense leak goals for fun. Dortmund returned to the win column in their match against SC Freiburg on Saturday, although it was far from a straightforward victory. They took an early lead courtesy of Mats Hummels but ended up trailing at halftime. However, a second-half resurgence, which included another goal from Hummels, secured all three points for them. Nevertheless, there are persistent worries for Dortmund. In this season’s campaign, they have kept just one clean sheet in five games and conceded six avoidable goals. Considering that both Dortmund and PSG have showed a knack for scoring but have struggled defensively, we expect a match with plenty of goals. **Betting Tips**
**Manchester City vs. Crvena Zvezda** The 1991 UEFA Champions League winners, Crvena Zvezda (Red Star Belgrade), are making the journey to Manchester to face the current European champions in a match many expect to be a battering by Pep Guardiola’s team. It’s noteworthy that in the past 28 seasons, only once did a reigning European champion begin the following season with a defeat, (which happened to Liverpool against Napoli in 2019) and the Citizens are favored to maintain this trend. Last season, Manchester City completed the entire campaign without a loss, securing the trophy for the first time with eight wins and five draws. Their star player and the reigning Golden Boot winner, Erling Haaland, has already made an impact this season with seven league goals, raising expectations for another impressive performance on Tuesday. **Betting Tips**
**Bayern Munich vs. Manchester United** Manchester United is currently grappling with a crisis, and one of the last places a team in turmoil would want to visit is the formidable Allianz Arena. Bayern Munich boasts an impressive track record in the Champions League group stage, having not suffered a defeat in five seasons, with 27 wins and only 3 draws during that period. Their scoring prowess, averaging 3.2 goals per game, poses a significant threat to a Manchester United defense that has been conceding goals regularly. Adding to the challenge for the Red Devils is Harry Kane, who now wears Bayern’s jersey. Kane has a history of success against Manchester United, having scored 5 goals and provided 3 assists against them during his time at Spurs. He has also begun his stint in Germany in fine form, netting four goals in as many matches. This combination of factors presents a daunting prospect for Manchester United. Manchester United’s defensive struggles have been clear this season, with a concerning 10 goals conceded in just 5 games. They’ve endured three losses by the same 3-1 scoreline, highlighting their difficulties in transitioning to the defensive phase and often having to play catchup. The recent defeat to Brighton on Saturday raised alarm bells at Old Trafford, marking their fourth consecutive loss to the Seagulls. Now, they face Bayern Munich, a team they have never defeated in Germany. With a few players either injured or absent from the first team, coupled with Erik ten Hag’s less-than-stellar away record against top teams, the Red Devils might be in for a long evening. **Betting Tips**
**Arsenal vs. PSV Eindhoven** This game features two sides returning to the Champions League after some time away. For Arsenal, it’ll be their first time in the competition since the 2016/17 season while for PSV, it’s their first since the 2018/19 campaign. They’ll be meeting in the Champions League for the first time since the Round of 16 in the 2006/07 season when PSV knocked the Gunners out in their first season at the Emirates. However, they’re a lot more familiar with each other as they were drawn together in the group stage of last season’s Europa League. While Arsenal may be favorites in this game, they should remain cautious of the threat posed by the Dutch side. Last season, PSV defeated Arsenal 2-0, even though they had players like Cody Gakpo (who provided an assist), Xavi Simons, and Noni Madueke in their ranks; all of whom have left the club. However, they still possess a talented group of players capable of delivering moments of individual brilliance. Currently topping the Eredivisie with a perfect record of 4 wins out of 4, scoring 13 goals and conceding just once, PSV is in fine form. Additionally, 33-year-old Luuk de Jong has shown no signs of slowing down this season, with an impressive tally of 9 goals and 5 assists in just 8 games. He will undoubtedly be a player to keep a close eye on during the match. That said, the Gunners have way too much talent to fall at home. The Emirates will be rocking with the return of Champions League football to its ground and we expect Arteta to have the players fired up. But, given the high odds around the scoring props, we’ll play it safe and lean that way. **Betting Tips**
**Braga vs. Napoli** Braga is making a notable return to the Champions League after a decade-long absence, although there is limited optimism surrounding the Portuguese side. Their league performance this season has been lackluster, with a current 7th place standing in the table. They’ve scored 10 goals but have also conceded 10. Historically, Braga has encountered difficulties when facing Italian opposition, suffering defeats in all four of their previous encounters with Serie A teams, including two losses to Fiorentina last season in the Europa Conference League. An interesting statistic to keep an eye on is that none of their 12 Champions League matches have ended in a draw; they have won 4 and lost 8. This represents the most games played in the competition by any team without a draw. Napoli, too, has had struggles in the early part of this season. They currently sit at 5th position in Serie A and have experienced a slight dip in form, dropping points in their last two matches (1 draw and 1 loss). One factor contributing to their struggles has been the performance of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who hasn’t displayed the same dazzling form as he did last season. The recent managerial switch from Luciano Spalletti to Rudi Garcia may also be a contributing factor. On the bright side, Nigerian international Victor Osimhen will be eager to rediscover his scoring touch for the club. He started the season impressively, notching 3 goals in his first 2 games, but has failed to find the net in the subsequent two matches. It’s worth noting that he recorded a hat-trick against São Tomé and Príncipe in an AFCON qualifier. With his talent and determination, there’s confidence that he will return to scoring ways for Napoli. **Betting Tips**
**Barcelona vs. Royal Antwerp** Royal Antwerp will make a highly anticipated return to the Champions League, marking the end of a 65-year absence since their last appearance in 1957. This gap is the longest any team has had to endure before returning to the competition. However, much like the Manchester City vs. Red Star game, this match is expected to result in a comfortable victory for Barcelona. Barcelona is entering the contest with confidence, fresh off a commanding 5-0 triumph over Real Betis, during which their new boys João Félix and João Cancelo both found the back of the net. Royal Antwerp, on the other hand, has struggled in previous away games against Spanish opposition, losing all three matches with an aggregate scoreline of 10-0. In addition, Barcelona has an impeccable record when hosting Belgian sides, having never suffered a home defeat, with 7 wins and just 1 draw. We also expected the prolific Robert Lewandowski to contribute with a goal or two, having begun the season in excellent form, tallying 3 goals and 3 assists. **Betting Tips**
