Goals off the Madrid menu, while Juventus turn to Tevez

Juventus have won five of their last six Champions League games
The all-conquering Old Lady went to Westfalenstadion and recorded a flawless victory in the previous round, so will fancy their chances of augmenting a 1-0 first-leg lead in Monaco, especially as they have lost just one of seven against Ligue 1 adversaries.
Opta note that in Juve's run of five wins in six, they have kept four clean sheets. Monaco's three defeats makes them the most frequently-bested side of those remaining in the competition, while they have failed to score in two of their last three European encounters at the Stade Louis II.
Recommended Bet: Back Juventus win to nil @ 3.60

Carlos Tevez has been involved in five of the last seven Juventus Champions League goals

The Argentine has laid on one assist, notching four for himself on this run and the Bianconeri will turn to him to do the business again. He found the net in both of away matches in the competition that Juventus have registered in, while he has also struck in his latest three Serie A starts. Each was the first of the match, as was the case in the past two Champions League games in which he scored.
Recommended Bet: Back Tevez to score first @ 6.40

Real Madrid v Atletico Madrid (Sky Sports 1)

Both Madrid derbies in the Champions League have ended level after 90 minutes
The two games in question were last week's quarter-final first-leg (0-0) and the previous season's final (1-1). This stat alone might not be enough to prompt punters to back a draw again, but when these accompanying Opta gems are magnetised to the fridge of reckoning, the stalemate looks all the more likely to land.
Atletico haven't lost any of this term's seven Madrid derbies (drawing two in three at the Bernabeu), while they are unbeaten in ten against Spanish foes in continental competition in 90 minutes. When these potent omens are positioned alongside the fact that only one of Real's last eight European clashes with La Liga colleagues was lost, the draw bet becomes all the more appetising.

Recommended Bet: Back the draw @ 3.70

Southampton v Arsenal: Gunners set for a night of frustration

Southampton v Arsenal Wednesday, 19:45 Southampton  Claude Puel has done a decent job at Southampton this season, but his future at the club could rest on how well his team performs in their last four games of the season. The Saints can finish as high as eighth or as low as 16th. A bottom-half finish could be enough to seal the fate of the former Nice manager, with rumours suggesting that the club hierarchy are considering his future. It's true that Southampton's Premier League campaign has been rather underwhelming, with the side struggling to find any consistency this season, yet Puel did guide them to the EFL Cup final. He's inherited a weaker squad than previous managers enjoyed, which has lacked firepower for much of the season. Charlie Austin could return against Arsenal to help to solve that problem, while the defender Matt Targett is another player in contention. Virgil can Dijk remains out. Arsenal The Gunners gave themselves hope o...
