December 12th: Tuesday’s Champions League Double – 5/1 Special, Tips & Predictions

With the Champions League group stage drawing to a close in midweek, we have a stacked European schedule from across the continent on Tuesday night.

As the likes of Manchester United find their knockout stage dreams hanging by a thread, we have taken a look at some of the most intriguing Champions League betting markets that are available.

20:00 Union Berlin vs Real Madrid

While Real Madrid might have eventually finished 10 points adrift of defending their La Liga crown last season, Los Blancos certainly haven’t shown any signs of a hangover this time around. Already breezing their way to the Champions League knockout stage without breaking much of a sweat, Tuesday’s hosts will simply be looking to make another European statement on foreign soil.

Tipped as a genuine Champions League contender in 2024 and firing on all cylinders, Carlo Ancelotti’s superstar squad should find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high.

Last seen in European action securing an action-packed 4-2 victory against Italian giants Napoli, the former AC Milan boss his seen his side win all of their five Group C appearances by an aggregate score of 13-5.

Gaining a real reputation for their free-scoring performances in the final third, Real Madrid will certainly be calling on the record-breaking Jude Bellingham to spearhead Los Blancos’ charge in midweek.

Once again finding the net against Real Betis while on domestic duties over the weekend, the England international has remarkably notched 16 goals across all competitions so far this season.

On the flip side, while Union Berlin might have claimed a much-welcomed boost thanks to a 3-1 victory against Borussia Monchengladbach over the weekend, Tuesday’s hosts have endured a public nightmare since opening up the 2023/24 campaign.

Parting ways with long-term boss Urs Fischer last month, the Iron Ones have collected just a pair of points from their five Champions League appearances this season.

With their knockout stage dreams long since going up in smoke, we are expecting what could be an enjoyable away victory here.

20:00 Manchester United vs Bayern Munich

Although Bayern Munich might have been left hugely frustrated over the weekend as they eventually slumped to an infamous 5-1 loss at the hands of Eintracht Frankfurt, the German giants have only continued to shine while on the European stage. Already storming their way to the knockout stage, Thomas Tuchel’s men will be confident of signing off their Group A adventure with a final heavyweight statement.

Unbeaten in all of their five Champions League appearances this season and putting 13 points on the board, many have tipped Bayern to make a genuine European charge in 2024.

Likewise, claiming a stunning 4-2 victory when they welcomed Manchester United to the Allianz for their reverse Group A showdown on September 20th, the former Chelsea boss will certainly be calling on the red-hot Harry Kane to spearhead his charge here.

Breaking a string of records since completing a blockbuster £100million move from Tottenham, the England skipper has recorded 22 goals across all competitions.

Watching Erik ten Hag’s side come crashing back down to earth in an infamous fashion over the weekend as they suffered a 3-0 defeat at home against Bournemouth, it is no secret that the ex-Ajax manager has a huge amount of pressure on his shoulders.

Enduring a public Champions League nightmare this season and sat rock-bottom of the Group A standings, Manchester United are seeking a major European miracle on Wednesday night.

Mustering just one win from any of their five European showdowns this year, we are backing an away draw no bet at Old Trafford.
