Football – Europe – Champions League Betting Tips
Tottenham come into Matchday 6 in the Champions League having trounced Swansea City in the Premier League on the weekend and they’ll be hoping they can continue in the same way on Wednesday night against Russian outfit CSKA Moscow at White Hart Lane.
However, Tottenham have failed to replicate the solid form they’ve shown in the English Premier League so far this season into the Champions League as they’ve picked up just the one victory in Group E to date which was a 1-0 win away at tonight’s opponents CSKA Moscow.
Spurs’ other point came in a 0-0 draw away at Bayer Leverkusen but subsequent defeats at home to the German club and away from home at Monaco means they’re now chasing down a last-gasp knock-out spot in the Champions League or at least securing a Europa League spot tonight.
Visitors CSKA Moscow sit bottom of Group E as they’ve failed to win a single match so far in the Champions League this season with draws against Bayer Leverkusen home and away along with a point at home against Monaco.
CSKA Moscow also recorded a convincing win in their domestic Premier League on the weekend as they beat Ural 4-0 on home turf, but a trip to England’s capital will be a definite step up in quality against superior opposition on Wednesday night.
The Russian club tend not to travel too well in the Champions League either as they’ve registered just two wins from their last nine on the road, and come into this encounter having lost five of their last six on their travels.
Pick: Tottenham to win @ 1.55 Betfair
