Leg 1: Arsenal to Win & Both Teams Not To Score @ 19/20

Arsenal have kept a clean sheet in five of their last seven Champions League games, and they started this season's campaign with a 1-0 win at Napoli. They also returned to winning ways against Leeds at the weekend, scoring twice in the second half, and the Emirates is a ground where they have been consistently difficult to break down.

Lille arrive in mixed form after blowing a 2-0 lead at home to Real Betis on matchday one, eventually losing 3-2. Arsenal are without Piero Hincapie and Christos Tzolis, but a side that has been this solid at the back should have enough to see Lille off comfortably and keep a clean sheet.

Leg 2: Inter Milan to Win & Both Teams Not To Score @ 5/4

Inter have been one of the soundest defensive teams in this competition for the past few years, and they should be in good spirits after keeping a clean sheet at the weekend. They lost 2-1 to Real Madrid on the opening night, but that was a narrow defeat against a top side and Inter have been averaging 2.8 goals in their last five games, which means they are scoring freely.

Club Brugge lost a lot of attacking firepower over the summer, and although they scored twice against Aston Villa on matchday one, they conceded three and have won only one of their last nine visits to Italy. The visitors should find it tough to breach this Inter defence, which makes the clean sheet part of the bet look well priced at 5/4.

Leg 3: Bayern Munich to Win & Over 3.5 Goals @ 1/2

Over 3.5 goals has cleared in all three of Viking's matches this season, including their qualification games, and it was also the outcome in their 3-1 defeat at Stuttgart on matchday one. Bayern's attack has been just as productive, with the line landing in their 5-0 win over Bodo/Glimt in the opening round and in three of their last four games.

Bayern's attacking quality should be too much for the hosts, and with Viking known for playing open football and conceding goals, a Bayern win with four or more goals in the match looks a strong fit at a short price.

3/7

Leg 4: Barcelona to Win & Over 3.5 Goals @ 17/20

Galatasaray have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last three games, including a 3-1 defeat at Sporting on matchday one. Both teams to score has landed in five of their last seven matches, and over 3.5 goals has cleared in three of their last four.

Barcelona's numbers point the same way. Over 3.5 goals has hit in four of their last five, both teams to score has landed in four of those five, and they are averaging 4.5 goals in their last seven games after beating Feyenoord 5-1 on matchday one. Barcelona have not kept a clean sheet in their last 16 European matches, so a game in Istanbul that features goals at both ends is the most likely outcome.
