With the Champions League play-off stage getting underway on Tuesday night, we have a stacked schedule from across Europe’s elite.
As Manchester City welcome defending champions Real Madrid to the Etihad, the likes of PSG and Juventus will also steal centre stage.
With four Champions League showdowns on the cards in midweek, we have taken a look two of the most appealing European betting tips.
15:45 Brest vs PSG
Putting in what was a sensational performance last week as they stormed their way to a 4-1 romp against Monaco, PSG will be looking to collect another domestic scalp here. Smelling a golden opportunity to claim a first-leg advantage on Tuesday night, Luis Enrique’s side are enjoying what has become a real purple patch. g off their Champions League group stage adventure with a stellar 4-1 victory away at German outfit Stuttgart, the former Barcelona boss has seen his squad win each of their previous four appearances across all competitions. Unbeaten in all of their last 16 consecutive outings, PSG have also gained a real reputation for their free-scoring performances in the final third. Notching at least a pair of goals in eight of their previous nine showdowns, Tuesday’s guests have also won their previous four straight outings by an aggregate score of 15-4.
While Brest might have dragged themselves to a 2-0 victory away at Nantes last week, the Pirates have drastically struggled to find any kind of stability. Despite claiming a famous Champions League play-off ticket, Eric Roy’s side did sign off their group stage campaign with a 3-0 drumming against defending champions Real Madrid. Likewise, including another 3-0 defeat against Barcelona on November 26th, Tuesday’s guests have lost three of their previous four Champions League appearances. Pencilled in as a real underdog in midweek, Brest should also be concerned by a nightmare record against PSG. Slumping to an action-packed 5-2 loss when they welcomed their domestic rivals to the Stade s-Le Ble on February 1st, Roy’s men have lost 17 of their last 18 showdowns against the French icons – a un that stems all the way back to a 1-1 stalemate in April 2011.

20:00 Manchester City vs Real Madrid
While Manchester City might have eventually avoided an infamous FA Cup exit away at League One outfit Leyton Orient over the weekend, Pep Guardiola’s side have drastically failed to find top gear with any fluidity. Coming under a huge amount of scrutiny earlier in the month as they fell to a 5-1 drumming away at Arsenal, the Sky Blues have a tremendous amount of pressure on their shoulders here. Currently sat 15 points adrift of Premier League leaders Liverpool, Tuesday’s hosts have continued to show some glaring defensive issues. In fact, already shipping 35 domestic goals this season, only one side in the top-half of the Premier League standings holds a worse defensive tally. Likewise, hit with an action-packed 4-2 defeat when they travelled to PSG on January 22nd, Guardiola’s men have recorded just a single clean sheet from their previous seven appearances across all competitions.
Although some in Carlo Ancelotti’s camp might have been frustrated over the weekend as they eventually had to settle for a 1-1 stalemate against bitter local rivals Atletico Madrid, Los Blancos should be relishing a trip to Manchester here. Still leading the chase at the top of the La Liga table, Tuesday’s guests are dreaming of the chance to complete another remarkable double-winning campaign in 2025. Suffering just a single defeat across any competition since their Super Cup heartbreak over in the Middle East last month, the former AC Milan boss has also seen his superstar squad lose just a pair of Champions League showdowns on foreign soil since May 2023. Sending Manchester City packing at the quarter-final stage last season following a famous penalty shoot-out victory at the Etihad, Ancelotti’s side could be smelling a potential opportunity to claim another heavyweight scalp on Tuesday night.
