Adrian Clarke’s Best Bet
Adrian’s best bet takes us to the Bernabeu, where unsurprisingly, he is taking a pro-Real approach.
Opting for Real Madrid and Under 4.5, Adrian thinks a toothless Chelsea side will struggle to score in Spain, and even a sole goal for Madrid could be more than enough on Wednesday.
Recommended Bet: Real Madrid and Under 4.5 (2.08)
Mark O’Haire’s Best Bet
Mark also has a Real angle up his sleeve this week, pivoting mid-podcast from his original Real and Under 3.5 angle!
Being slightly more cautious, Mark is more than happy to take Real on the nose at what is a very backable price for the competition’s most successful side.
Recommended Bet: Real Madrid vs Chelsea (1.78)
Miguel Delaney’s Best Bet
Miguel is taking us to a very intriguing all-Italian affair for his best bet.
Napoli have been arguably the most entertaining and perhaps the biggest surprise package of the season both in Europe and Domestically.
Miguel expects that trend to continue as they play AC Milan on Wednesday, and contrary to stereotype when Italian sides meet in Europe, can see this being a goal-filled clash.
Recommended Bet: Milan-Napoli – Over 2.5 Goals (2.26)

- Mark – Under 3.0 (1.85)
- Adrian – Under 3.0 (1.82)

Milan vs Napoli (Wed 20:00)
