Champions League Tips: Harry Kane returns to England as Bayern visit Man United

European football in December means only one thing and that is the final group stage matches of the season. Can Manchester United get their campaign back on track with the visit of Bayern Munich?

PSV vs Arsenal

8:00pm, Tuesday, TNT Sports 2

PSV need a result to guarantee qualification and they face an Arsenal side that are widely expected to rotate.  The Dutch side succumbed to a 4-0 defeat at the Emirates earlier in the group. However, their home form has been exceptional this season. They are averaging 3.17 goals per game in front of their own fans.

Both of Arsenal’s Champions League away matches this season have seen both teams score with at least three goals in the match. Arteta will be hoping that his fringe players can deliver when called upon but expect to see chances at both ends.

Tip: Both Teams To Score & Over 2.5 Goals In The Match at 1.83

Manchester United vs Bayern

8:00pm, Tuesday, TNT Sports 1

Manchester United suffered a shock 3-0 home defeat at the weekend and things could go from bad to worse for Erik Ten Hag with Bayern Munich and Liverpool awaiting them this week. The Red Devils have been lacklustre in the opening months of this campaign and they should come out second best in this one. United are conceding 1.65 goals per game in all competitions this season.

Bayern Munich may already be through but expect them to deliver a solid display after being thrashed 5-1 at the weekend.  Tuchel’s side’s matches this season are averaging 4.05 goals per game with the German champions contributing with 2.86 of those. They should have plenty of success against United. 

Tip: Bayern Munich To Win and Both Teams To Score at 3.80

FC Copenhagen vs Galatasaray

8:00pm, Tuesday, TNT Sports 2

Copenhagen and Galatasaray are set for a final match showdown to determine who will make it through the group. A win for either of these sides would be enough and we should see plenty of action as a result. The bet for this one is over for both teams to score and over 2.5 goals in the match. This bet has won in both of Copenhagen’s group matches on home turf so far.

This pick has also landed in both of Galatasaray’s away matches. Moreover, the previous encounter between these sides finished 2-2.

Tip: Both Teams To Score & Over 2.5 Goals In The Match at 1.87

Internazionale vs Real Sociedad

8:00 pm, Tuesday, TNT Sports 6

Inter come into this clash knowing they need a win to secure top spot in Group D. Last season’s beaten finalists are level on points with Real Sociedad but their inferior goal difference has them languishing behind. They were able to earn a point in the reverse fixture and I expect another cagey affair here. The second halves of Inter matches this season are averaging g 1.7 goals per half whereas the first halves have seen just 1.10.

Sociedad are unlikely to be adventurous in the early stages of the match as they look to keep it tight and I’m backing the second half to see more goals as a result. The Basque side are conceding just 0.4 goals per game in the Champions League this season and are capable of holding firm. Desperation should kick in late on with one side inevitably chasing a goal.
