Goals have been near guaranteed in every game this season when Barcelona take to the field, 16 of their 17 matches across all competitions have seen at least three goals - the exception being a 1-1 draw with Rayo Vallecano at the start of the campaign. It’s notable that Barcelona have kept just four clean sheets across their 13 matches in LaLiga, and none in the Champions League, with their most recent assignment being a 3-3 draw.

Maresca likes Chelsea to control games, but that may be out of the question here when considering the nature of Flick’s side. Chelsea have seen 3+ goals in three of their last five matches across all competitions, and are likely to be dragged into a high scoring affair here, with Barcelona relying on their attacking output to drag them through gamesm as their backline is very unsettled at the moment.

Man City enter the fifth gameweek of the Champions League without a defeat in the competition so far, winning three of their four matches. These games have produced 13 goals (3.25 per game), with two of them seeing 3+ goals, including their most recent assignment in the Champions League as they ran out 4-1 winners over Dortmund.

Leverkusen could be in for a similar battering here with how open they’ve been in general play this season. They sit 21st in the league phase with their four matches producing 16 goals (4.0 per game) - Leverkusen have only managed to win one of these games. The Bundesliga side travel to the Etihad having seen 3+ goals in four of their last five matches across all competitions.

Man City will be looking to bounce back from their 2-1 defeat against Newcastle at the weekend, a game that marked the fifth occasion in a row where City have seen over 2.5 goals across all competitions. City should be able to extend their strong record in the Champions League against a side that has conceded 10 across their four Champions League matches so far.

Tuesday’s offering also includes a slate of fixtures from the Eerste Divisie, with this game really standing out for a high goal count. Vitesse sit rock bottom of the Eerste Divisie, but are remaining competitive in their matches with 25 goals scored across their 14 games (1.78 per game).

The issue for Vitesse is that they have conceded the exact same number of goals, which has capped them at five wins from 14 matches - Vitesse’s six home matches have produced 20 goals (3.33 per game). They take on a PSV side that are battling at the opposite end of the table and are in a real scrap for the playoff spots, with the top two opening up a substantial gap at the summit.

PSV have seen 3+ goals in each of their last five matches in the Eerste Divisie, with two wins in this period. Their away matches have produced an incredible 35 goals (4.3 per game), promising another exciting encounter in this meeting.

Galatasaray are progressing really well in the Champions League and have won three of their four matches so far, bouncing back well to the 5-1 defeat they suffered on Matchday one at the hands of Frankfurt. These results see them sit just one spot outside of the top eight, with a real opportunity to break into that exclusive club with a win here.

It looks like Union Saint Gilloise are in the Champions League a season or two too early when looking at their performances so far. Only Ajax (14) have conceded more goals than USG (12) in the Champions League, with USG’s two away matches producing eight goals (4.0 per game).

Galatasaray have seen 3+ goals in three of their last five matches across all competitions, and should be motivated to push on for a high scoring victory when considering USG’s poor record in the competition this season.
