Football Multi Bet: $8.51 Tip for Wednesday

Kiwi punters are spoilt for choices on Wednesday morning as the Champions League returns for its third matchweek. Here’s a killer multi that could deliver a sweet 8.5x return on football betting sites.

Wednesday October 22, 8:00am NZT, St. James’ Park

Newcastle United welcome SL Benfica to St James' Park for their third Champions League outing of the season. Eddie Howe’s side are 12th after a win and a loss, while the Portuguese visitors are still searching for their first points. 

Benfica have an impressive attack though, and we must also remember that teams fighting for their lives can be dangerous. The last time these sides met, it was an open affair, with Benfica edging it 3-2 in a five-goal thriller.

So, we recommend backing both teams to score for a return of $1.83 on most betting sites to begin this multi.

Wednesday October 22, 8:00am NZT, BayArena

Bayer Leverkusen and Paris Saint-Germain renew hostilities at the BayArena for the first time in over 10 years. Leverkusen are no longer the force they were under Xabi Alonso, but they remain a tricky opponent. 

The Bundesliga outfit return home after a frustrating 1-1 draw against PSV. Leverkusen will expect better fortunes in front of their home crowd, as they have lost only one of their last 17 European matches at BayArena. Last season, they won all four league phase matches at BayArena without letting in a single goal. 

Paris Saint-Germain are the defending champions and have already dispatched top teams like Barcelona and Atalanta. Football betting tips specialists are confident of PSG winning this match, and we believe they can win both halves.

Wednesday October 22, 8:00am NZT, Estadi de la Ceramica

Manchester City hit the road on Wednesday morning, hoping to pick up their first Champions League away win in six matches. Monaco held them to a two-all draw last time around, and now they must overcome Villarreal at Estadi de la Ceramica. 

The hosts shared the spoils with Juventus in their last Champions League match, with Renato Veiga scoring a late equaliser. The Yellow Submarines had lost 1-0 to Tottenham earlier. 

Erling Haaland has been in sensational form. The Norwegian has scored 14 goals in 10 outings across all competitions. He has also scored in nine straight games, so it seems likely that Haaland will score again.
