Champions League Tips and Predictions for Matchday 4

We're halfway through soccer betting the group stage at the 2021 Champions League tournament–and there's plenty of intrigue as we head into the second phase of the double-round-robin.

While Groups A and D are well in hand – Bayern Munich and Liverpool lead their respective quartets by five points through the first three games – there are captivating races in every other group entering this week. Most notably: Chelsea and Sevilla are tied atop the Group E standings through three games apiece, while Manchester United and RB Leipzig are also level on points at the midway point of group play. Champions League odds saw Bayern enter the week as the tournament favorites at +275.

Here are our top Champions League betting plays for November 24-25:

Champions League Predictions for November 24-25

Juventus vs Ferencvarosi TC

For teams sitting in second place in their respective groups, the second half of round-robin play will be not only about rolling up the wins, but also scoring enough goals to take advantage of the differential tiebreaker. And that's the exact scenario Juventus face, sitting three points behind group leader Barcelona while languishing four goals behind the Spanish powers in goal margin.

Juventus cruised to a 4-1 away victory in their first encounter with Ferencvarosi and will be looking for an even more lopsided triumph in the return engagement at Allianz Stadium. With Juve having scored just three goals in their last three home games across all competitions, they'll be even more motivated to fill the net. We're siding with the over on their team total.

TIP: Juventus Over 3.5 (+162)

PSG vs RB Leipzig

This is the closest thing to the Group of Death this year, with three European soccer powers in the same quartet. And PSG have been the weakest of the three so far, with just one victory and an even goal differential through their first three games. That subpar showing makes Tuesday's encounter with Group H co-leaders RB Leipzig all the more pivotal for both teams.

Leipzig held serve in the first meeting with a 2-1 home triumph back on November 4, rallying from an early deficit to gain a measure of revenge for a 3-0 loss to PSG back in August. Between both of their 2020 meetings finishing above the 2.5 goal threshold, and both teams boasting Over-heavy results in recent weeks, we see this game producing plenty of offense.

TIP: PSG-RB Leipzig Over 3.5 (+100)

Atletico Madrid vs Lokomotiv Moscow

Atletico might be one of the more relaxed teams in the UEFA Champions League group stage—especially if they can come away with three points Wednesday against Lokomotiv Moscow. The Spanish League runners-up are a full five points back of Bayern in Group A, but can all but lock down a Top-2 finish against a Moscow side with just two points from its first three games.

One of Lokomotiv's draws came in an inspired 1-1 draw with Atletico, but bettors shouldn't expect a similar result this time around. Not only is the Russian side mired in eighth place in its domestic league (with just 16 goals from 15 matches), but they'll be in tough against an Atletico roster that has surrendered just two goals in eight La Liga games. We like the Atletico win/clean sheet double.

TIP: Atletico Madrid/Both Teams to Score: No (-150)

Liverpool vs Atalanta

Are you ready for some goals? These two teams certainly are, as Liverpool host Atalanta in what could very well be the highest-scoring game on this week's UEFA Champions League slate. Liverpool come in having scored 21 goals in nine league matches (surrendering 16 themselves), while Atalanta have 18 goals for and 14 goals against in just eight games.

We've filled this card with enough totals plays, so we're taking advantage of what should be a high-scoring affair by identifying a solid player prop. And they don't come much better than the Diogo Jota anytime goal play. He owns a share of the Champions League goal lead with four in just three games and has four tallies in four league matches. He's a great price here.

TIP: Diego Jota anytime goal (+100)

Champions League Betting Card for November 24-25

• Juventus Over 3.5 (+162)
• PSG-RB Leipzig Over 3.5 (+100)
• Atletico Madrid/Both Teams to Score: No (-150)
• Diego Jota anytime goal (+100)
