The Champions League kicks off on Tuesday with a number of great games to follow in another exciting season.
Real Madrid will once again be the team to beat as the continent’s best attempt to play their way to Istanbul. They head to Scotland to face Celtic, who are fresh off a 4-0 win over rivals Glasgow Rangers. BET ON THIS MATCH
It is Celtic’s first match in the UCL since the 2017/18 season.
It starts on Tuesday with the knowledge that no result is certain and no opposition should be taken lightly.
Chelsea will be wary of this more than most when they travel to play the season’s first game at Dinamo Zagreb. The Blues have not clicked under Thomas Tuchel this season just yet and will be wary of the threat posted by their hosts.
Avoiding defeat in gameweek one is a must. Dortmund know this after they fell out at the group stage last season. They host Copenhagen and will look to captain Marco Reus for inspiration. The German star has four goal contributions across his last five games (G2, A2) heading into this match and Dortmund have won two league games in a row.
The match of Tuesday is undoubtedly PSG hosting Juventus. BET ON THIS MATCH
It will be a testing match for PSG’s No 1 Gianluigi Donnarumma. While at Milan, he failed to win 15 of his 18 personal head to heads with Juventus. PSG are scoring for fun in Ligue 1 with 17 goals but the Italians should provide much stiffer opposition.
For the record, Juve have scored at least twice in their last four UCL opening away group games (W3, D1).
