UEFA Champions' League Group Stages (Matchday 4)

Besiktas v Wolfsburg
Milan v Real Madrid


Tuesday, 3 November

Besiktas v Wolfsburg
Verdict: Besiktas will hope to use their superior experience in Europe in a must win encounter against Wolfsburg. In their first match, Besiktas produced a stout performance in producing a scoreless draw and restricting Wolfsburg to a few chances in the process. In that game, Wolfsburg star striker Grafite was red carded so will miss the match this evening. Besiktas miss out on keeper Rustu while Tello sits on the bench. Wolfsburg are winless in 6 Bundesliga games which goes to show they they are not in the best of form. Turkey is a tough place to travel to and with Besiktas desperately needing 3pts, it will be extremely difficult for the Germans to deny them.

Pick: Besiktas DNB @1.85 (sbobet, 5 units)
Besiktas 0 - 3 Wolfsburg

Milan v Real Madrid
Verdict: Real Madrid will look for revenge as they face fellow giants of Europe, AC Milan. Following their first encounter where the Italians triumphed 3-2, Real Madrid will look to try and take control of Group C as both sides currently sit on 6pts. The Spanish champions are without Cristiano Ronaldo whereas the hosts lose Antonini. Nothing much has changed since their first encounter and with both teams chasing the win, goals are expected here.
Pick: Over 2.5 goals @1.77 (sbobet, 5 units)
Milan 1 - 1 Real Madrid
