Don't Miss Out On This Thrilling Odds: Accumulator Tip for October 21

The UEFA Champions League resumes after a three-week break, and it’s the Gunners who will take on Atletico Madrid at the Emirates Stadium tomorrow night. Meanwhile, Manchester City will hope to continue their unbeaten run against an unmotivated Villarreal in Spain tomorrow. At the same time, Newcastle United will strive to break down Jose Mourinho's side in front of their home supporters later today. 

Villarreal vs Manchester City

The Yellow Submarine are one of the sides yet to pick up a win in the ongoing tournament, having lost once and drawn a game. Their opening match ended with a (1-0) slim defeat against Tottenham in London, while they settled for a share of the spoils at home to Juventus. Meanwhile, the Citizens have picked up four points from a combined six, scoring four goals while conceding twice. Manchester City began their UEFA Champions League campaign with a comfortable victory over Napoli at the Etihad, but settled for a stalemate against Monaco in a game they were totally in control of.

Trend & H2H

Manchester City have now gone eight matches without a loss.

Four of the last six Villarreal games have produced a BTTS.

Manchester City have scored first in nine consecutive matches.

The Citizens have played out a total of under 2.5 goals in five of their last seven matches.

Manchester City have won their last two games against Villarreal in the Champions League.

Betting Tip

The Citizens are back on their feet after their terrible run last season; however, they have not been scoring the way they used to. Strangely, Manchester City have had fewer than two goals in five of their last seven matches. Pep Guardiola is obviously trying to tidy things up at the back, while trying not to chase after games with two-goal leads these days. Villarreal, on the other hand, have been a bit rusty lately, failing to win any of their last three games. The hosts can be vulnerable at the back, and knowing who Manchester city are, they’d want to take advantage of their opponent. I’d support City to at least get a goal before the break, even though they won’t be able to keep a cleansheet. 

Bet Type: 2W/D & BTTS

Newcastle vs Benfica

The Magpies have been pretty solid this season despite the sale of their starman, Alexandria Isiak. Newcastle started the competition with a disappointing (1-2) loss at home against Barcelona, while they recorded one of their biggest wins against Royal Union Saint Gilloise. Newcastle found the back of the net four times on the road, running riot against the league leaders in the Belgian league. At the same time, Benfica have been struggling since the start of the UEFA Champions League, with back-to-back losses against Qarabaq and Chelsea. Benfica are one of the four teams without a win in the Champions League, and they’ll have to be at their best to get anything out of this game.

Trend & H2H

More than two goals have surfaced in four of the last five Newcastle games. 

Newcastle have scored first in four of their last five matches in all competitions. 

Benfica are yet to taste defeat against Newcastle across their last three meetings, as they have won twice and drawn a game.

Betting Tip

Benfica have been below par this season despite having one of the most successful coaches in the world as their manager. Jose Mourinho’s men will likely play defensively as they are yet to concede more than a goal since the arrival of the Portuguese tactician. Newcastle, on the other hand, can be brutal on their home ground, but this game won’t come on a platter of gold for them. I expect a tough encounter with limited chances from both teams, although the hosts still remain my favorite.

Bet Type: 1W/D & Under 3.5 goals

Arsenal vs Atletico Madrid

The Gunners will face off against a familiar face in the third round of the UEFA Champions League at the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal, who have been formidable lately, will strive to show their expertise in front of their home supporters. The Gunners have won their last two games against Bilbao and Olympiacos. Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid have lost once and won a game in this competition. Their UEFA Champions League campaign began with a (3-2) loss against Liverpool, even though they were almost going to run away with a point. Atletico Madrid put five goals past Frankfurt in Spain to pick up their first three points of the competition.

Trend & H2H

Both teams are unbeaten across their last seven games in all competitions.

The Gunners have kept three consecutive clean sheets across their last three matches.

Atletico Madrid have scored first in seven consecutive matches.

Fewer than two goals have surfaced in six of the last seven Arsenal games.

Atletico Madrid have won twice and drawn once against Arsenal across their previous three meetings.

Betting Tips

Arsenal are one of the favorites to win this year's UEFA Champions League, considering how solid they have been so far. However, they have a tough game against Atletico Madrid, who are masters of dark arts. Both teams can play similarly, but the Gunners are way more sophisticated, and the fact that they play at the Emirates makes it more likely for them to win. I don’t think the guests will threaten Arteta’s men the way people think, and I believe it’s going to be a smooth ride for the Gunners on their home ground.
