Tuesday football tips: Champions League group stages reach their conclusion

The Champions League group stages reach their conclusion over the next two days and much of the focus will be aimed at the fixtures taking place from Group B.

Liverpool will be hoping to maintain their 100 per cent record against Milan at the San Siro but the scrap is on for second with the Serie A side, Porto and Atletico Madrid battling it out to join the runaway Reds in the knockout stages.

Porto know victory over Atletico at the Estadio do Dragao will be enough to see them through and they are 4-5 with bet365 to advance. Milan are 5-2 for a top-two finish, while Atletico are available at 11-4 to progress.

Premier League leaders Manchester City are also in European action against managerless Leipzig, while it is a busy evening in the Football League with ten fixtures scheduled in League One and nine from League Two.

Today's best accumulator bets

Bets to be placed by 7.45pm

Oxford to beat Doncaster

Rotherham to beat Gillingham

Mansfield to beat Carlisle

Borussia Dortmund to beat Besiktas

Oxford are unbeaten in seven games in League One and have their sights set on promotion, so should be able outclass a Doncaster side that sit second from bottom.

Rotherham are top of League One and can utilise home advantage against a relegation-threatened Gillingham, while a rejuvenated Mansfield are taken to heap more away woe on Carlisle in League Two.

Borussia Dortmund may ring the changes for their dead rubber with Besiktas but they still look too strong and complete the four-fold, which pays just over 9-2 with Hills.
