Champions League Tips: Arsenal's adversaries to attack at the Allianz

Zenit St Petersburg 2.16 v Valencia 4.00; The Draw 3.40
Tuesday, 17:00
Live on BT Sport 2

This is the first time this season that Zenit St Petersburg have gone into a Champions League match not needing to win, with qualification assured and a point enough to confirm first place, but owning the sole remaining 100% record is a source of great pride and 2.16 is a big price on them maintaining it.
They scored three times in Valencia, leading 2-0 by half time, while Los Che showed that they are nothing too special on the road by losing to Gent on matchday four, their third away defeat in four across all competitions. Zenit have won six in seven as hosts, drawing the exception 0-0.
Recommended Bet: Back Zenit St Petersburg to win @ 2.16

Barcelona 1.30 v Roma 12.00; The Draw 6.40

Barcelona should secure their round-of-16 spot without much bother having already accumulated ten points, yet it is unclear who will follow them through after Roma and Bayer Leverkusen's frenetic double header. The Giallorossi are currently second on five points, one above the German side and two ahead of BATE Borisov.
When these clubs clashed in Rome in September, both goals arrived in the first half, but the treble winners have altered approach since, with six of their seven Champions League strikes coming after the break. They have played 13 times in all competitions since being held at the Stadio Olimpico, and fired more often in the second half than the first in nine of those. The other three were even splits.
Recommended Bet: Back the second half to have more goals @ 1.96

Bayern Munich 1.14 v Olympiakos 28.00; The Draw 10.00

Even if Arsenal beat Dinamo Zagreb, they will exit the Champions League at the group stage for the first time since 1999/00 if Olympiakos leave the Allianz Arena with a point or more.
Bayern Munich are rated firm favourites despite dropping points on either week five or six in each of the past five campaigns, having overcome the Greek title holders 3-0 away.
That was the only zero that Olympiakos have hit in 15 fixtures all season though and it would be misguided to simply assume that they will be shut out again in Munich given their scoring rate on their Champions League travels, netting three at Arsenal in September and two at Juventus last November. Bayern have kept just one clean sheet in four European home games.

Recommended Bet: Back Bayern Munich to keep a clean sheet? No @ 2.20

Champions League Tipsheet: Barca to come unstuck at San Siro

Inter are in the best form of the Luciano Spalletti era and can upset Barcelona at San Siro on Tuesday, says James Horncastle... Intergalactic Inter v Barcelona Tuesday, 20:00 Live on BT Sport/ESPN Inter  could not go into Tuesday night's clash with Barcelona in better form. This weekend's 5-0 win against Genoa was their seventh in a row in the league and it built on the team's best performance of the season, a 3-0 dismantling of Lazio last Monday. Inter are hitting heights they have previously not reached in 18 months under Spalletti. The team is playing good football, boasts the  best defence in Serie A  and lost causes like Dalbert, Roberto Gagliardini and Joao Mario are suddenly contributing to decisive effect. Saturday's victory served to underline once again that Inter are  no longer dependent on Mauro Icardi for goals . The Argentine was able to put his feet up and keep himself fresh for Barcelona without his absence impacting negatively on th...
