Champions League Wednesday betting picks & odds – Matchday 3

After Matchday 3 of the UEFA Champions League kicks off on Tuesday, eight more games are scheduled for Wednesday. The likes of Borussia Dortmund, Manchester City, and Barcelona will be in action, and we have free Champions League betting tips for those games and more.

Barcelona vs Shakhtar Donetsk

Barcelona are not only undefeated in both UCL games but also in their 10 La Liga matches. In European play, the Catalan side has outscored its opponents 6-0. Against Shakhtar at home, Barcelona should dominate. The Ukrainian champions have conceded five times through two Champions League games, and Barcelona should break through their defence with ease as they cover the spread.

Celtic vs Atletico Madrid

Atletico Madrid sit on top of Group E and have once again been winning games on the back of their defence. Through nine La Liga games, Los Colchoneros have conceded eight goals, and that defence should stifle Celtic’s attack in this game. The Scottish club is struggling to score in the UCL and has only managed one goal through two games. At -105 with top UCL betting sites, Atleti to win is a great value bet.

Newcastle United vs Borussia Dortmund

Newcastle are leading Group F, while Borussia Dortmund sit at the bottom of the table after two games. That being said, the German giants enter this match in great form after winning five straight in the Bundesliga. Newcastle will be tough to beat away, but Dortmund will be playing like their UCL campaign depends on it. At +410 with most soccer bookmakers, the visitors are worth a longshot bet.

Young Boys vs Manchester City

Julian Alvarez is having a breakout season and has become one of Manchester City’s most trusted goalscorers. The Argentine attacker has scored three goals through two UCL matches, and Young Boys do not have enough talent to limit City’s scoring chances. The Swiss side has conceded five goals through two UCL contests, and the Cityzens will find ways to pile on the goals. Get on Alvarez to score in his third straight Champions League game.
