As the UEFA Champions League heats up with nine matches scheduled this week, fans and bettors alike are keenly anticipating the outcomes of the games on Tuesday, November 4. Our expert staff has analyzed the matchups and provided their top picks.
In the highly anticipated clash between Arsenal and SK Slavia Praha, Arsenal comes into the match with impressive momentum, having gone unbeaten in their last 11 games, following a narrow defeat to Liverpool. The Gunners have not conceded a goal in the Champions League this season, mirroring the performance of Inter Milan, and boast a remarkable expected goals against (xGA) figure of just 1.51, with only Bayern Munich performing better. Offensively, Arsenal has scored eight goals across three matches, showcasing their attacking prowess. Viktor Gyokeres is expected to shine in this game, and our experts believe Arsenal will cover the -1.5 Asian Handicap, as they have secured victories by at least two goals in all their UCL encounters this season.
In the match between Napoli and Eintracht Frankfurt, both teams have shown a propensity for scoring, making the bet on “Both Teams To Score & Over 2.5” an appealing choice. Napoli enjoys an excellent home record in the Champions League, with only one loss in their last 18 matches. The tournament so far has seen an average of 3.7 goals per match, with Frankfurt contributing significantly to this total, as their games have consistently tallied high scores. Despite Antonio Conte’s recent focus on defense, the statistics suggest both teams are likely to find the back of the net in this match.
Sporting Clube de Portugal faces Juventus in what marks Luciano Spalletti’s first European match as the new manager of Juventus. The club recently parted ways with Igor Tudor after a difficult spell. Sporting is undefeated across its last five matches, suggesting robust form heading into this contest. Sporting has averaged 2.6 goals in the Primeira Liga and boasts the highest expected goals tally in the league. Our analysts expect both teams to score, given the defensive challenges that Juventus is facing, even with managerial changes.
Lastly, Tottenham will take on F.C. København, aiming to revive their Champions League campaign after a shaky start. The match is critical for Spurs, and while creativity has been an issue, their superior squad depth should lead them to victory. However, given Tottenham’s approach to prioritize defensive strength, we anticipate a low-scoring affair with the prediction of Tottenham to win and under 3.5 total goals in the match.
