Marseille looked a real threat going forward against Nice (5-1 win), as they racked up 2.29xG from 13 efforts. The visitors also managed six corners, hitting this mark with ease. Les Phoceens have managed at least four corners in five of their eight matches in all competitions at the Velodrome Stadium this season, landing this bet against the likes of PSG and Atalanta.

Meanwhile, Newcastle are conceding an average of 5.86 corners per game in all competitions this season, with this line landing in six of their seven matches. The only team who failed to hit this mark was Aston Villa in round one of the Premier League in August, but they still went close with three corner kicks.

Newcastle have struggled on the road this campaign, and have lost three away matches on the bounce, which should give Marseille confidence that they can find success in the final third.

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.

There’s no doubt that Qarabag can be a very effective side, they’re forward thinking in transition and commit lots of bodies on the counter attack, but the Italians should be too streetwise for them. The home side should get plenty of chances here, facilitated by Qarabag’s progressive approach in and out of possession.

Qarabag did admittedly beat Benfica on away soil, but they were far inferior to Atletico Bilbao in a tricky away match, conceding three goals, 3.46xG, and 21 shots. Napoli are fairly robust defensively, conceding just six goals in eight home matches in all competitions. It’s therefore unlikely the hosts will be affording Qarabag the amount of chances they got against Benfica.

Napoli’s home form has been strong this season, winning every single match aside from two 0-0 draws against Como and Frankfurt. Their 3-1 win against Atalanta at the weekend will give them real confidence coming into this one.

Despite the Dutch giants’ remarkably poor form, they’ve maintained their consistency in the corners market, winning at least four in 11 of their 13 league games to date. Across the duration of the season, Ajax have averaged 5.85 corners per 90, rising to 6.57 when considering only their matches at home.

In away matches this season, Benfica’s league opponents have averaged 3.6 corners per 90; meanwhile, the Portuguese outfit has conceded them at a rate of 7.5 per game in the UCL. This reflects a continuation of what we saw last season, where they conceded at least four corners in four of their five trips outside of Portugal.

This match is likely to treat us to plenty of goals, and I think both sides are well-placed to find a way onto the scoresheet.

71% of Galatasaray’s home league matches this season have seen both teams score, and that’s despite their domestic dominance and relatively weaker opposition. This line has also landed in 63% of USG’s away clashes, where they concede at a rate over six times greater than that at home.

All four of USG’s Champions League matches have produced at least four goals, while Galatasaray’s have averaged 3.5. Last season, this selection came home in all 10 of their Europa League outings, with those games averaging 4.4 goals per 90 minutes.

Over 2.5 goals is another option, but at a slightly longer price, I think BTTS is where the value lies.
