Bayern Munich vs Salzburg Best Bet
With a first-leg draw now in the history books, it is still all to play for between Bayern Munich and Salzburg. The away goals rule has also been scrapped for this season so neither team has the advantage going into Tuesday night’s 2nd leg.
This means the Austrian outfit will be confident of not only stunning Julian Nagelsmann’s squad of superstars but also firing a warning sign to the rest of Europe. If they can secure safe passage to the last eight, it would be one of the biggest Champions League shocks in recent years.
The travelling Salzburg side will be further boosted by Bayern’s domestic stutter at the weekend. Bayer Leverkusen held the defending Bundesliga champions to a draw at the Allianz Arena so it was far from ideal preparations for midweek.
At the same time, Bayern’s march towards a tenth successive German league crown still moves on unabated. Borussia Dortmund failed to take advantage of the dropped points in Bavaria and Marco Rose’s men are still nine behind in 2nd.
Therefore, full focus can certainly be afforded to the visit of Salzburg. Although they themselves are top of the Austrian Bundesliga – by an eye-watering margin of 18 points – one does have to account for differing levels of competition across the German border.
Opposition that included Altach last Saturday and after cruising to a 4-0 win at the Red Bull Arena, it will have given Salzburg manager Matthias Jaissle and his players a huge boost before Tuesday.
However, the Bayern juggernaut should have an additional gear on Tuesday night, and this means backing them to win with a -1.5 Asian handicap at odds of 1.525 which comes highly recommended via the Bet365 website.

Liverpool vs Inter Best Bet
After picking up a 2-0 win in the San Siro, Liverpool are certainly in the box seat when it comes to their Champions League pairing with Inter. The job is half-done so now it is time for the Merseyside men to complete the task at hand.
A task that if completed, will only take them further on the road to Paris and Liverpool are currently the second favourites in the outright market, many expect them to at least reach UEFA’s showpiece event at the end of the season.
Of course, with the task only being half done up until now, Inter will still feel that they have got something to offer in the return meeting. Especially after putting five unanswered goals past Salernitana at the weekend. They will be up for the trip to Anfield.
Like Liverpool, Inter Milan are also caught up in a domestic title tussle. Although they are currently ruling the roost in Italy, their first leg reverse only highlighted the gap in quality between the Premier League and Serie A.
Simone Inzaghi’s men were outfoxed by a Liverpool side who have already found joy in the San Siro this season. They beat Inter’s crosstown rivals Milan both home and away in the group stage, they will look for the same pair of wins in the Round of 16.
An outcome that does look largely likely, even though Liverpool were perhaps fortunate to get the better of West Ham on Saturday night. If they have learned one lesson from victory, it is not to be too cocky when in charge of the game.
Then again, taking charge is exactly what they will set out to do on Tuesday. Diogo Jota is priced at 1.90 with Bet365 to score anytime and to further break Inter hearts. The Portuguese made a cameo return from injury at the weekend and looks a good bet to get on the scoresheet.

What is a Champions League Acca?
A Champions League acca is an accumulator bet, a type of wager that is made up of several different selections combined together into a single bet. A Champions League acca would usually consist of a single bet made up of four or more selections on Champions League matches.
The Champions League acca is a popular way to bet on European football matches. As more selections are added to the bet, the odds rapidly increase as all are multiplied together. This can lead to massive odds for a small stake if building an acca for a Champions League match.
As is the same with double and treble bets, all selections need to win or the accumulator loses. That is why so many look for Champions League acca tips for guidance.
