BARCELONA v CELTIC
These teams met pre-season in the International Champions Cup, with Barcelona walking away 3-1 winners. Celtic have nothing to lose and will go for it in this game; and after their 5-1 win against Rangers at the weekend they will be full of confidence.
Barcelona on the other hand lost 2-1 against CD Alaves at the weekend, even after bringing on Messi, Suarez and Iniesta as half-time substitutes.
Advert
Celtic have scored 15 goals in their first four games in the Scottish Premiership, winning all four games. Barcelona have had a good start to Liga BBVA, however they conceded two against Real Betis and two against CD Alaves. Both teams will want goals and should be a good game.
Recommended bet: Over 2.5 goals and BTTS 13/10
BAYERN MUNICH v ROSTOV
Bayern are one of the most experienced teams in the Champions League and have what should be a fairly easy fixture for them. The two teams have never met before, however with Bayern scoring eight in two games in the Bundesliga and Rostov sitting 4th in the Russian Premier League - Bayern will want to net a few goals.
Advert
PSV and Atletico Madrid are the two other teams in Group D, so this will be the easiest fixture for Bayern and they'll want to start the campaign with a high goal difference. This should be a comprehensive victory for the Germans.
Recommended bet: Bayern Munich over 2.5 team goals 2/5
PSG v ARSENAL
Advert
These two sides haven't met since 1994, and have both had fairly good starts to the season. Both teams are on seven points from four games, with exactly the same goal difference at +2.
You could say that PSG don't look as strong without Ibrahimovic, however Cavani is looking to fill that gap after netting two goals so far this season.
Arsenal have Koscielney available after the injury scare against Southampton, but are without Aaron Ramsey with a hamstring injury. This should be a very lively game with hopefully a few goals.
Recommended bet: Both teams to score 7/10
Advert
MAN CITY v BORUSSIA M'GLADBACH
Manchester City have looked like an improved side since Pep Guardiola has joined and looked the much better side against Manchester United even without Aguero.
Borrusia M'gladbach have only played two games so far, winning one and losing one, and both teams will want points due to having Barcelona in their group.
These two sides met in last seasons campaign and Man City came away victorious in both games, winning 4-2 and 1-2. Man City are clear favourites in the eyes of the bookies and they should walk away with 3 points. If they want to contend with Barcelona in the group table then they need a win.
Advert
Recommended bet: Man City win 2/5
PSV v ATLETICO MADRID
These teams played in last season's Champion's league, and both legs finished 0-0. Both are very defensive teams, and clearly struggle to score against each other. Atletico and PSV won 4-0 at the weekend but their form against each other suggested there will be a low amount of goals.
Both sides are unbeaten in their respective leagues and this should be a match of fairly equal standard teams. The other two teams in this group are Bayern Munich and Rostov, so Atletico and PSV will want at least a point from this fixtures.
Recommended bet: Under 2.5 Match goals 4/7
