Liverpool will be fired up to prove they can cope without Virgil Van Dijk when visiting Ajax in their Champions League Group D opener. The Reds' defence looked leaky already this season, conceding 13 goals in five Premier League matches, with keeper Alisson also absent through injury. More...

Outright Champions League glory has so far eluded Man City but they do tend to be clinical during the group stage and can brush aside Porto. The visitors have lifted the trophy twice but recent trips to England have proved troublesome, with the Dragons failing to score on their last five journeys. More...

We've got Champions League predictions from Wednesday's opening round of group-stage matches and are hoping to land a 29/3 acca if they all come in. Don't forget to watch out for bwin's Enhanced Accas, with price boosts provided on a number of popular combinations throughout all competitions. More...

Celtic have been hit by withdrawals recently but Neil Lennon will still demand a response to Saturday's Old Firm derby defeat when AC Milan visit. The Italian giants are flying high at the top of Serie A but may not be taking the Europa League as seriously, judged on some patchy performances in qualifiers. More...

Arsenal's Europa League away record has been impressive in recent years and they can continue the trend when visiting Rapid Vienna. The Austrian outfit are no mugs and should make a game of it, but we feel the Gunners will be just too organised for them under Mikel Arteta. More...

Tottenham will look to bounce back from Sunday's late collapse versus West Ham when they entertain LASK Linz in Europa League Group J. Jose Mourinho lifted this trophy during his time with Manchester United and has already shown an appetite for more success by coming through three qualifiers. More...

Man Utd stunned PSG with a shock 3-1 victory at Parc des Princes a couple of seasons ago but the French outfit are expected to extract some revenge this week. Thomas Tuchel's side recovered to finish as runners-up in last season's Champions League and look a cut above the Red Devils at present. More...

Chelsea and Sevilla are firm favourites to qualify from Champions League Group E and both sides may be satisfied with an opening draw in London. With Rennes and Krasnodar completing this pool, these two talented teams will be hoping to pick up plenty of points from their other fixtures. More...

Arsenal and Tottenham are 8/1 co-favourites alongside AC Milan in bwin's Europa League winner odds following the group-stage draw. Mikel Arteta's Gunners must face Rapid Vienna, Molde and Dundalk, while Jose Mourinho and Spurs will meet Ludogorets, LASK and Antwerp. More...

The German giants were paired with Atletico Madrid, RB Salzburg and Lokomotiv Moscow in pool A as they chase a seventh success in this competition. More...

Tottenham showed great spirit to get past Chelsea in the EFL Cup on Tuesday and will now hope for a smooth Europa League success against Maccabi Haifa. The Israeli outfit upset Rostov of Russia in the previous round of qualifiers but are expected to be out of their depth in this contest. More...

Five of the last seven UEFA Super Cup matches have gone to extra-time and Sevilla will be keen to give Bayern Munich a tough work-out in Budapest. The Europa League winners drew with fellow Spaniards Barcelona in 2015 and Real Madrid a year later, before losing out in an additional half an hour. More...

Tottenham look well placed to ease past KF Shkendija of North Macedonia in a Europa League qualifier being played behind closed doors. Spurs are coming off a big win at Southampton and were given extra preparation time for this trip when Tuesday's EFL Cup tie at Orient was called off. More...

Talk of Gareth Bale returning to the club is dominating the headlines for Tottenham but they also have a Europa League match in Bulgaria to focus on. It is little more than 15 months since Spurs were appearing in the Champions League final yet they now find themselves having to qualify for the group stages of the Europa League. More...

Lincoln Red Imps are eyeing an Old Firm double when they host Rangers in Europa League qualifying. The team from Gibraltar famously beat Celtic in Brendan Rodgers’ first match in charge in 2016, although the Bhoys made amends in the return leg in Glasgow. More...

Celtic will be looking to take another step towards the group stage of the Champions League when they host Ferencvaros in a one-off game at Celtic Park. Neil Lennon’s men beat KR Reykjavik of Iceland 6-0 last week but the meeting with the Hungarian champions is unlikely to be so one-sided. More...

PSG versus Bayern Munich is a mouth-watering Champions League final, with plenty of goalmouth action expected in Lisbon on Sunday night. Both sides enjoyed comfortable 3-0 victories in the semis and each manager can call on an array of attacking weapons at Estadio do Sport. More...

Inter Milan are hard to oppose in Friday's Europa League decider versus Sevilla judged on the evidence of their respective semi-final performances. The Nerazzurri simply demolished Shakhtar Donetsk, whereas Los Rojiblancos were rated a touch fortunate to edge out Manchester United. More...

Lyon belied big odds to beat Manchester City in the Champions League but it is hard to see lightening striking twice when they take on Bayern Munich. The German giants will be full of confidence after an incredible 8-2 drubbing of Barcelona and should not make the same mistakes City made. More...

RB Leipzig and PSG both like to play in a positive manner and that will hopefully lead to an entertaining first Champions League semi-final. The German outfit clearly possess a tremendous team spirit, but the French aristocrats have an edge in class which is hard to get away from. More...

Inter Milan are fancied to have a little bit too much tactical nous for Shakhtar Donetsk in Monday night's Europa League semi-final. The Pitmen have played some entertaining football since the competition restarted but may just have their limitations exposed at this level. More...

Manchester United's Europa League semi-final clash with Sevilla has all the makings of a close encounter, but we feel the Red Devils have a slight edge in class. Los Rojiblancos are a hard-working and well-drilled unit, but may just lack the star quality United possess in key positions. More...

Manchester City look to have been gifted a golden opportunity to reach the Champions League semi-finals when taking on Lyon in Lisbon. However, it is worth remembering that Les Gones did well against the Blues during last season's group stage, winning 2-1 away and drawing 2-2 at home. More...

Barcelona and Bayern Munich are two perennial Champions League powerhouses but the German giants look in much better shape this season. Barca will always be dangerous with Lionel Messi in their side but the calibre of his supporting cast seems to have slipped in recent years. More...

RB Leipzig and Atletico Madrid have contrasting styles that could lead to a close encounter when they meet in the Champions League quarter-finals. The German outfit generally take a positive approach, whereas Los Colchoneros rely on a dogged determination to grind out results. More...

PSG are fancied to have just too much nous for Atalanta in their single-leg Champions League quarter-final tie in Lisbon. The French aristocrats may be hampered by a lack of match sharpness but have the class to cope against opponents who look in too deep at this level. More...

Sevilla looked a very professional side when knocking Roma out of the Europa League and are fancied to see off Wolves in the quarter-finals. Wanderers are another well-drilled outfit who play with plenty of spirit, but may just be a bit behind their Spanish opponents in overall quality. More...

Shakhtar Donetsk played some entertaining football in Wednesday's defeat of Wolfsburg and may prove too hot for Basel to handle. The Swiss outfit did well to get past last season's Europa League semi-finalists Eintracht Frankfurt but still look a touch limited at this level. More...

FC Copenhagen are expected to prove game, but outgunned opponents when taking on Manchester United in the Europa League quarter-finals. The Danish outfit have a direct style of play which may cause a few problems, but the Red Devils are still rated a class apart in Cologne. More...

Bayer Leverkusen only have to make a short trip to Dusseldorf for Monday's Europa League quarter-final and are a value bet to edge out Inter. The Nerazzurri showed signs of fatigue after a long, hard season when getting the better of Getafe and the fear is this may prove one match too many. More...
