With the Champions League group stages getting back underway on Tuesday, the likes of Arsenal and Manchester City will be looking to lay down their own respective markers.
Ahead of a bumper schedule from across Europe’s elite club competition, we have found a pair of Champions League betting markets that are worth keeping an eye out for.
17:45 Inter Milan vs Salzburg
While Inter Milan might have suffered Champions League final heartbreak at the hands of Manchester City back in June, the Italian heavyweights aren’t showing any signs of a hangover. Continuing to impress across all fronts since opening up the 2023/24 campaign and riding an extended wave of momentum, Tuesday’s hosts will be confident of making another statement here.
Picking up some perfect momentum over the weekend as they cruised their way to a 3-0 romp away at Torino, Simone Inzaghi’s side have suffered just a single defeat from any of their first 11 appearances across all formats.
Mustering four points from their opening two Champions League showdowns this season and sat in the driving seat to punch another knockout stage ticket, Inter Milan will certainly be calling on their red-hot attacking talisman to spearhead their charge in midweek.
Once again finding the net away at Torino over the weekend while on Serie A duties and already notching 12 strikes across all competitions, Argentina ace Lautaro Martinez will have another crucial role to play at the San Siro.
On the flip side, while Salzburg might have opened up their own Champions League adventure with a famous 2-0 victory away at Benfica on September 20th, Tuesday’s guests certainly came crashing back down to earth last time out.
Missing out on what they could have billed as a potential opportunity as they eventually suffered a 2-0 loss at the hands of Real Sociedad, the Austrian giants find themselves tipped as a real outside contender to find a route out of Group D this year.
Likewise, failing to pick up any kind of momentum over the weekend as they suffered a toothless 1-0 loss at home against LASK, Salzburg will be more than aware that they face a huge challenge when they arrive at the San Siro in midweek.

20:00 Union Berlin vs Napoli
Managing to make what was a crucial return to winning ways over the weekend, Napoli will know the importance of making a real Champions League statement on Tuesday night. Although Rudi Garcia’s men might still be trying to find some domestic stability since making major Serie A history last season, they are still seen as a potential European dark horse this year.
Putting in an eye-catching performance over the weekend as they landed a 3-1 romp away at Verona, the Azzurri will be desperate to produce a repeat performance when they arrive in the German capital here.
Last seen in Champions League getting hit with a heartbreaking 3-2 loss at home against Spanish icons Real Madrid, the reigning Serie A champions should be smelling a golden chance to claim an immediate European boost on foreign soil.
Opening their Champions League adventure with a 2-1 victory away at Braga back on September 20th and seen as a leading contender to follow Los Blancos out of Group C, Napoli will be looking to cash in on a Union Berlin squad that are in the midst of a public nightmare.
While Tuesday’s hosts might have shocked many as they claimed a top-four Bundesliga finish last season, the Irons Ones have come crashing back down to earth in a rather speculator fashion.
Putting in another woeful performance over the weekend as they slumped to a 3-0 drumming at home against Stuttgart, Urs Fischer’s side have remarkably lost each of their previous eight straight appearances across all competitions – a run that stems back to August 26th.
Heading into October’s international break with an action-packed 4-2 defeat at the hands of Borussia Dortmund, Union have also shipped a staggering 19 goals on their eight-match losing run.
