What did Matchday 1 tell us?
Matchday 1 (8 to 10 September) mostly went to form. All five English clubs won: Aston Villa 3-2 at Club Brugge, Manchester City 2-0 at Porto, Arsenal 1-0 at Napoli, Liverpool 2-1 against Atlético Madrid and Manchester United 4-0 against Sabah. PSG beat Slovan Bratislava 6-1, Barcelona beat Feyenoord 5-1, Bayern Munich beat Bodø/Glimt 5-0 and Real Madrid edged Inter 2-1. The shock was debutants Como beating RB Leipzig 4-1. ESPN’s Matchday 1 talking points cover the round in more depth.
Three things carry into this week:
- The giants are ruthless at home. Bayern, PSG and Barcelona scored 16 goals between them.
- Some defences are leaking. Leipzig, Club Brugge, Lille and Villarreal all conceded three or more.
- Osimhen is close. Victor Osimhen missed Galatasaray’s 3-1 defeat at Sporting with a right adductor strain, and Punch reports that Galatasaray plan a short comeback for him on 9 October, four days before Barcelona visit.

20:00 WAT. 1X2: 2.30 / 3.92 / 2.77. Our pick: over 2.5 goals @ 1.42. Erling Haaland scored both goals at Porto and the holders put six past Slovan Bratislava, so we expect an open game. Our Man City vs PSG prediction goes deeper, and here are the Man City vs PSG odds on ChampBet.

Nigerians to watch on Matchday 2
| Player | Club | Match | Kick-off (WAT) |

| Moses Usor | LASK | LASK vs Liverpool | Wed 17:45 |

Best acca idea: four legs for One Leg Down
This acca uses four of our picks, each priced 1.40 or higher, so it meets the selection rules for One Leg Down:
| Leg | Match | Pick | Odds |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Lens vs Sporting CP (Tue 17:45) | Both teams to score | 1.47 |
| 2 | Inter vs Club Brugge (Tue 20:00) | Over 2.5 goals | 1.45 |
| 3 | Viking vs Bayern (Tue 20:00) | Over 3.5 goals | 1.42 |
| 4 | Feyenoord vs Como (Wed 17:45) | Como to win | 1.88 |
The maths: 1.47 × 1.45 = 2.13, × 1.42 = 3.03, × 1.88 = 5.69 total odds. A ₦1,000 stake returns about ₦5,690 if all four land, before the automatic accumulator bonus the slip shows on qualifying multiples. Those odds imply roughly an 18% chance that all four win, so stake only what you can afford to lose.
The safety net: with four legs, a stake of at least ₦1,000 and no Cash Out, One Leg Down gives you a free bet of 20% of your stake (₦200 on ₦1,000) if exactly one leg loses. The free bet replaces the stake, it does not return it. Full terms apply, and our One Leg Down guide explains how the table rises with more legs.
