UEFA Champions League SGP for FC Barcelona vs Frankfurt
Barcelona to win and both teams to score +104
Barcelona are coming off a 5-3 win over Real Betis in LaLiga this past weekend, while Frankfurt were thrashed by RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga, losing 6-0. Frankfurt's games in the Champions League haven't been much better. They've posted a W1, D1, L3 record while conceding a whopping 14 times, only Ajax have allowed more goals (16). Barcelona haven't been rock-solid at the back in the current league phase, allowing 2.0 goals per game, which is the second-worst ratio among teams in the top 20 in the standings. Barcelona should be the favorites based on Frankfurt's defensive woes, especially with the attackers they bring to bear.
UEFA Champions League Best Bet for Atalanta vs Chelsea
Under 2.5 total goals -124
Atalanta aren't known for being involved in end-to-end, high-scoring games. The Italian club has seen a combined 11 goals in their five Champions League matches to date, with only Slavia Prague (10) keeping a better record. After a 4-0 loss to PSG in the opening week, Atalanta have won three and drawn one the rest of the way. All four have ended with three or fewer goals, and that trend might continue against Chelsea. The Blues have failed to score more than once per game since their 3-0 win over FC Barcelona on Nov. 25 and are D2, L1 in those contests. Atalanta's sound defensive approach and Chelsea's recent scoring woes should combine for another low-scoring affair here.
UEFA Champions League Moneyline for Inter Milan vs Liverpool
Inter Milan to win +112
Liverpool look more and more disappointing with each passing week, so it's hard to see them getting something from this visit to Inter Milan. The Nerazzurri might have suffered a 2-1 loss to Atletico Madrid in their most recent Champions League matchup, but they're undefeated in their last 18 home matches in the Champions League (W15, D3.) As for Liverpool, they might be undefeated (W1, D2) since their recent defeat against PSV Eindhoven, but they've won just three of their last 10 matches overall (W3, D2, L5). Expect the underperforming Reds to suffer yet another loss in Italy, especially with Mohamed Salah not traveling due to his ongoing disagreements with the club.

UEFA Champions League Spread Bet for Tottenham vs Slavia Prague
Tottenham to cover -1.5 spread +123
Spurs suffered a 5-3 defeat at the hands of PSG last time out, representing their first defeat in the league phase. They should be heavy favorites for this clash, however, as they'll be facing a Sparta Prague squad that remains winless in the tournament (D3, L2). Slavia Prague have failed to cover the -1.5 spread in their two defeats in the Champions League, against Inter Milan and Arsenal. Spurs are a superior team and they should cruise their way to an easy victory here. A win for them would do wonders for their chances of securing a Top-8 finish in the league phase. Tottenham have won their two Champions League home matches so far, keeping a clean sheet in both.
