Champions League best bet: Inter Milan ML over Bodo/Glimt and both teams to score (+171)
Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Last season’s Champions League finalists head north on Wednesday for their Play-Off clash with Bodo/Glimt. Cristian Chivu’s team is rolling ahead of this trip, winning 11 of their last 13 matches, including each of their last 6. Inter beat Juventus 3-2 on Saturday, and they look set for another high-scoring encounter on Wednesday.
Hosts Bodo/Glimt have scored in 9 of their 10 Champions League games this term, while they generated 1.67 Expected Goals in the 1 game where they blanked. However, this clash could be a bridge too far for the hosts, with Inter in storming form. The Nerazzurri are top of Serie A, and they’ll be targeting another deep run in this competition. The hosts suffered 3 League Phase defeats, including a home loss to Juventus, and this should be another high-scoring setback for the Norwegian side.

Champions League best bet: Bayer Leverkusen ML over Olympiakos (+175)
Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Olympiacos squeezed into this round of the Champions League thanks to 2 wins in January, including a 2-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen. The Greek club caught Bayer cold not long after the Bundesliga’s winter break, but the visitors are in better shape ahead of this trip. Leverkusen’s 2-0 loss in Greece saw them win the Expected Goals battle 2.58 to 1.13, and they restricted Olympiacos to just 28% possession and only 6 shots in total.
Since that setback, Leverkusen have made real strides forward. They’ve won 5 of their last 6 games, and they’ve scored 3 or more goals in 4 of their previous 5. Leverkusen deserved more from their last trip, and they are now finishing their chances. This looks like a perfect opportunity for the Bundesliga side to claim a first-leg advantage.
