It will be hard knowing where to look on Wednesday evening as the Champions League serves up a huge feast of 18 league phase games, all kicking off at the same time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For football fans who like a flutter it provides a hefty choice of potential bets.<\/p>\n

One sure bet is that bookies will need to buckle up and prepare for the busiest night of the season.<\/p>\n

Burst Of Champions League Betting<\/h2>\n

\u201cEighteen matches kicking off at the same time is essentially controlled chaos,\u201d says Sportscasting spokesperson Shane Orton.<\/p>\n

\u201cTurnover is expected to be significantly higher than a standard matchday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe sheer number of matches means that bettors will be spoilt for choice when making their selections.\u201d<\/p>\n

All but one of the evening\u2019s games will have a bearing on who qualifies for the Round of 16.<\/p>\n

\"Pep
Pep Guardiola<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There are six Premier League teams battling to be among the automatic qualifiers after Matchweek 8.<\/p>\n

Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City are the only English side not presently in the top eight automatic qualifying spots.<\/p>\n

After this week’s games the teams finishing in the top eight will go through to the Round of 16 in March.<\/p>\n

The next 16 sides in the table will enter an additional knockout stage, with the winners there also progressing to the last 16.<\/p>\n

The bottom eight teams from the league phase will be kicked out of the competition.<\/p>\n

A Night For Doubles, Trebles And Accas<\/h2>\n

The options are limitless as fans study Champions League betting tips<\/a> in the hope of creating magic multiples.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe see a huge spike in accumulator betting on nights like this, with punters chasing big payouts by linking six or more selections across different games,\u201d says Orton.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver-goals markets feature heavily in those multiples, alongside Both Teams To Score (BTTS)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cCards and corners also attract strong interest, particularly in matches where qualification is still on the line.\u201d<\/p>\n

As well as being a playground for the serious punter, the bumper night of European football is likely to have the same kind of novelty attraction as the Grand National does for the casual gambler.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s already plenty of eye-catching multi-selections doing the rounds on social media,\u201d says Orton.<\/p>\n

\"Champions<\/p>\n

\u201cHistorically that kind of noise tends to pull casual punters into more adventurous bets.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom a trading perspective, it\u2019s one of the busiest nights of the season, with multiple matches swinging at once and traders reacting in real time as incidents ripple across the coupon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Challenge For Premier League Clubs<\/h2>\n

UEFA\u2019s new league phase has created a unique scenario in football with so much riding on so many matches that are all happening at once.<\/p>\n

Arsenal sit proudly at the top of the league at present, three points clear of German giants Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n

Just one point from the home game with Kazakh underdogs Kairat Almaty will see the Gunners secure their place at the top of the 36-team league.<\/p>\n

That guarantees seeding for the Round of 16 and in theory would mean Arsenal would avoid facing the bigger clubs until the later stages.<\/p>\n

\"Liverpool
Hugo Ekitike<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It didn\u2019t work out that way for Liverpool last season.<\/p>\n

Eventual winners Paris Saint-Germain had slipped up during the league phase finishing 15th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

They progressed through the extra qualifying round before beating Liverpool in the last 16 and going on to win the competition.<\/p>\n

Arne Slot\u2019s team are fourth with Tottenham at their shoulder, so both clubs have their Champions League fate in their own hands.<\/p>\n

Liverpool will be looking to \u00a379 million summer signing Hugo Ekitike to fire the goals against Azerbaijan minnows Qarabag at Anfield<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Spurs travel to Germany to tackle 33rd<\/sup>-placed Eintracht Frankfurt<\/a>.<\/p>\n

EIGHT Teams On 13 Points<\/h2>\n

Newcastle and Chelsea<\/a> are perched seventh and eight respectively but are just two of EIGHT teams all on 13 points.<\/p>\n

Joining them is Manchester City who still have some work to do after their shock 3-1 defeat at Bodo\/Glimt left them in 11th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

\"Kasper
Kasper Hogh<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Two gaols from Kasper Hogh downed Guardiola\u2019s men and made the Dane a transfer target of Norwich City and Celtic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

City welcome Turkish champions Galatasaray to the Etihad knowing that a win is probably essential.<\/p>\n

Newcastle have perhaps the toughest test of all, an away day at 2025 champions Paris Saint-Germain.<\/p>\n

It will not be an easy ride for Chelsea either.<\/p>\n

The Blues face former boss Antonio\u2019s Conte\u2019s Serie A champions Napoli<\/a> in Italy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
