PSV Eindhoven vs Liverpool: Draw @ 3.65

Liverpool have already booked their spot in the last 16, having won seven matches in a row.

So there is little to play for, although do not expect Arne Slot’s team to take their foot completely off the gas.

PSV are 19th in the table and need a result to secure a spot in the play-offs, so motivation levels in their camp will be high.

We could be set for a cracker in Eindhoven, one in which the points are shared!

Juventus to beat Benfica @ 2.35

Juventus and Benfica are both in the play-off spots, with the former still in with a chance of making it into the Top 8.

However, the Old Lady did suffer a first Serie A defeat of the season at Napoli on the weekend, which is not ideal preparation for this huge fixture.

Benfica are a quality outfit too, although they did display a level of weakness in their 5-4 defeat by Barcelona on Matchday 7, having led 4-2.

And Juve possess the quality to inflict more European pain on the Lisbon-based club.

Feyenoord to beat Lille @ 3.60

We are backing the underdogs in this Champions League contest!

Feyenoord shocked the world by beating Bayern Munich 3-0 in their last match, a result which means they are guaranteed a play-off spot at the very least.

Lille also have no fear of elimination, with 13 points on the board and only behind Feyenoord on goal difference.

The Ligue 1 side are strong at home and rarely lose, but we still fancy the visitors, who famously drew 3-3 at Manchester City after falling 3-0 behind.

Real Madrid to beat Brest @ 1.42

This should be a fairly routine victory for the Champions League holders.

Real Madrid are 16th in the table and as such, need a big performance on Matchday 8 to give themselves a chance of breaking into the Top 8.

Los Blancos beat RB Salzburg 5-1 in their previous outing in the competition and they should be far too strong for a Brest side who have lost nine Ligue 1 matches this season.

Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior will each be looking to bolster their Champions League goal tally, with the former priced at 1.83 to score anytime.
