The UEFA Champions League returns this week, with Matchday 2 kicking off on Tuesday. The top European competition delivered interesting matches in the previous round, featuring several notable derbies.

This week will also feature excellent games. There are several derbies involved, the most notable being Barcelona VS PSG and Galatasaray VS Liverpool.

Real travels to Kazakhstan, in one of the longest travels in the history of the Champions League. Stay tuned for more interesting information and several previews.

For those looking for UCL odds for Matchday 2, you can find them on this link.

Barcelona VS PSG

This game is important due to its position in the season, as the winner might gain significant momentum and gain a lead ahead of the upcoming challenges. These two teams are the favorites to win the Champions League trophy, so it’s normal that the event in Catalonia creates enormous buzz. The outright odds still see these far ahead of other rivals.

Both sides have incredible attacking power and arsenal, therefore, we expect to see one hell of a game. Enrique knows the system in Barca, but Blaugrana has the home-court edge.

This event is expected to see at least two goals in the second half, as the majority of action typically occurs then. The odds are solid for that, and this would be our pick if you asked us.

Pick: Over 1.5 second HT

Kairat VS Real Madrid Preview

The Kazakh team created a sensation, reaching the league phase of the UCL. They eliminated Celtic but learned the true power of the UCL, losing to Sporting in Lisbon 4-1. Meanwhile, Real was humiliated this Saturday, suffering one of the most humiliating defeats in the Madrid Derby in recent years, 5-2.

That’s why Real prepared well by coming earlier in Kazakhstan to erase the possible travel effect.

The guests are desperate to redeem, and we are pretty certain that Xabi Alonso thinks of nothing but a confident and reaffirming win in Central Asia. There won’t be space for calculations, and Real should come out firing on all cylinders. That’s why we expect to see them winning and covering a 1.5 handicap here. For those more courageous, take Real netting at least two goals inside the first 45 minutes. Betting on this is highly profitable considering the risk.

Pick: Real -1.5

Galtasaray VS Liverpool Preview

Galata spent a record-breaking amount of money this summer, only to learn that they are still not among the top teams in the UCL. Their 5-1 loss in Frankfurt to Eintracht surely shook their confidence and morale, and may we add, in the worst possible time. Why? Liverpool is coming to town, eager to win and forget last week’s loss, which came in the final moments of the game versus Crystal Palace.

One thing is sure here: this one will include goals. Galata doesn’t know how to defend, plus they play at home. Liverpool’s attack is incredible, so at least three goals here are guaranteed.

Pick: Over 2.5 goals

Marseille VS Ajax Preview

Two former UCL champions clash in France, where Marseille hosts the team from Amsterdam. Hosts beat PSG last Monday, 1-0, and then took three points from Strasbourg 1-2, making a perfect intro for this event.

Ajax plays poorly this year, and even though they defeated Breda 2-1 on Saturday, their performance was awful, and the Longines didn’t deserve to triumph.

For us, there’s no debate here: Marseille should and will win this event. The hosts are in better form, and the home-court atmosphere secures them a massive edge over the rivals from the Netherlands.

Pick: Marseille wins
