Sixteen more teams press their European claims in the Champions League on Wednesday evening with Chelsea and Manchester United both in action.

Bets to be placed by 5.45pm

Chelsea to beat Juventus

Over 3.5 goals in Atalanta v Young Boys

Salzburg to beat Lille

Sevilla to beat Wolfsburg

Juventus have endured a frustrating start to the new season and European champions Chelsea could prove too powerful for the Old Lady, while the goals could flow when gung-ho Atalanta entertain Young Boys.

Group G is the most open of all the sections in this season's Champions League but La Liga side Sevilla can showcase their European pedigree at Wolfsburg and runaway Austrian leaders Salzburg have a fantastic chance of three points at home to Lille.

Bet of the day

Salzburg to beat Lille
BT Sport Extra, 8pm

Lille are a long way off the side who lifted the Ligue 1 title last season with the loss of a number of key men and manager Christophe Galtier leaving them significantly weaker. They look vulnerable against a Salzburg side riding high in Austria.

Goals bet of the day

Atalanta v Young Boys
BT Sport 1, 5.45pm

Scoring goals is rarely a concern for Atalanta but keeping them out has proved problematic and last season they shipped eight goals in just six group-stage matches.
