Will Liverpool and Chelsea reach the UCL last-16?

Can both Liverpool and Chelsea are secure a spot in the Champions League last-16 this Tuesday? It’s our Spread Bets of the Day!

1. Red Bull Salzburg v Liverpool – Erling Braut Haaland SMM, 40-47
Liverpool only need a point in Austria to go through to the next round, or simply for Napoli to lose to Genk. Blah blah blah.

The real story going into Tuesday night is whether Erling Braut Haaland can become the first player in Champions League history to score in each of their opening 6 games in the competition. Currently in has 8 goals in 5 fixtures, and heads into what may be his final Champions League match of the season at a SMM spread of 40-47.

2. Chelsea v Lille – Total Goal Minutes, 159-174
A shock 3-1 loss to Everton at the weekend isn’t the best prep for Tuesday’s (sort of) must-win game against Lille. Fortunately the French side have one of the weakest defences in the competition, alongside one of the most tepid attacks.

The Blues, then, should be the ones providing the brunt of the action, with Spreadex offering a fairly reserved Total Goal Minutes spread of 159-174. Word of warning, however – Chelsea are winless in their last 5 Champions League fixtures at Stamford Bridge.

3. Inter Milan v Barcelona – Inter Milan/Barcelona Goal Supremacy, 0.95-1.15
Though they are sat in 1st place in Serie A, with just one loss to their name, Inter Milan haven’t quite carried that form into the Champions League.

To reach the last-16 they either need to beat the already-qualified Barcelona – who are guaranteed to top the group – or finish at least level on points with Borussia Dortmund, who are hosting a winless Slavia Prague. Luckily they’re quite heavily the fancied side on Tuesday, at an Inter Milan/Barcelona Goal Supremacy spread of 0.95-1.15

4. Preston v Fulham – Fulham/Preston (h) Goal Supremacy, 0.15-0.35
While it appears West Brom and Leeds are running away with the automatic promotion spots – there’s an 8 point gap between the Whites and Fulham in 3rd place – things are very tight in terms of the play-off zone.

The Cottagers are on 35 points along with Bristol City, while Nottingham Forest are on 33 and Sheffield Wednesday are on 32. Somehow still lurking in 5th place on 31 points are Preston, despite losing their last 4 games in a row. Can they break that run on Tuesday? Spreadex are offering a narrow Fulham/Preston (h) Goal Supremacy spread of 0.15-0.35.

5. Napoli v Genk – Total Goals, 3.55-3.75
With 16 goals conceded, only Red Star Belgrade have a worst defence than Genk in the Champions League so far. All the more remarkable, then, that the last meeting between the Belgian club and Napoli ended 0-0.

The Italians may well get more than that on Tuesday. Spreadex are offering a Total Goals spread of 3.55-3.75.
