Tuesday's Daily Double 🇪🇺 @ 2.04

Andy Robson

This double is as short as 1.70 elsewhere

Barcelona have won all 11 of their games across all competitions this season.

They’ve done so in devastating fashion as well, scoring at least three goals in 10 of these games. They’re the most complete side in Europe at the moment, and I think they can avoid defeat against the reigning European champions.

We know that PSG don’t really pay too much attention to the league phase of the Champions League. They’ve managed to win the competition without finishing in the top eight in each of the last two seasons with Enrique preferring his side to peak at the tail end of the season.

I also felt that PSG got a bit lucky at the Etihad in the Champions League last time out, coming away 4-2 winners but losing the xG battle (2.63-1.83) and having 12 shots less than Maresca’s side (27-15). 

It’s hard to see anything other than a convincing City win here, even if Maresca rotates the side. They’re as short as 1.08 to win here, so we’re getting a slightly better price with backing them on the handicap.

All this means is that we’re backing City to win by two or more goals - something they managed on Matchday 1 of the Champions League as they beat Porto 2-0 on the road. This selection has landed in five of City’s games so far this season in total, and this is one of their weaker opponents.

AEK Athens were outclassed by Shakhtar in the Champions League last time out, losing 3-1 as the away side and conceding an xG of 1.37. There’s a reason they’re priced at 20/1 to pick up three points here, it’s hard to imagine a scenario where they cause City any real issues.

Daily Double Football Tips Today

Our Daily Double combines two football selections into one bet, with both selections needing to land for the Double to win.

We look across the upcoming fixtures for two selections we like individually before combining them, usually aiming for total odds around even money. Check out today's latest Daily Double tips above, including the odds and reasoning behind each selection.

What Is a Daily Double Bet?

A Daily Double is a football bet that combines two selections into one double. Both selections need to win for the overall bet to land. Our Daily Double takes two football tips from the upcoming fixtures and combines them into one bet, usually targeting combined odds around even money.

Rather than adding extra legs simply to increase the price, we keep it to two selections that we like individually.

How Do We Pick Our Daily Double?

We start by looking across the day's football for potential betting angles before narrowing them down to two selections for the Daily Double.

Recent form, underlying statistics, team news, home and away records and individual match-ups can all form part of our research.

There's no requirement for both selections to use the same market. If we like a Both Teams to Score selection in one fixture and a team to win in another, they can be combined into the same Double. This gives us the flexibility to look for two selections we like rather than forcing the day's fixtures into a particular betting market.

What Odds Do We Target for Our Daily Double?

We usually aim for our Daily Double to be priced around even money, although there isn't a fixed price that every Double has to reach.

The combined odds depend on the two selections available that day, so some Daily Doubles will be slightly shorter while others may offer a bigger price.

Our priority is finding two selections we like rather than simply finding the quickest route to a particular set of odds. We won't add unnecessary risk to a Double just to increase the price.

What Markets Can Be Included in a Daily Double?

Our Daily Double isn't restricted to one type of football bet. Depending on the fixtures and the selections we like, a Double could include match result, goals, Both Teams to Score, team goals or player markets.

The two legs don't need to use the same market either. One selection could back a team to win while the other focuses on goals or a player market in a completely different fixture.

If you're specifically looking for both teams to find the net, you can also check out our latest Both Teams to Score tips.

Daily Double vs Football Accumulator

A Daily Double is a type of football accumulator, but there's one important difference: it always contains two selections. A traditional football accumulator can contain three, four, five or considerably more legs, often producing much bigger combined odds.

The Daily Double keeps things simpler. We select two football bets and combine them into one, generally aiming for a price around even money. If you're looking for larger multiples with more selections, you can find our latest football accumulator tips.

When Is Today's Daily Double Posted?

Our Daily Doubles are published around the upcoming football schedule, with the latest selections appearing at the top of this page. There can also be more than one upcoming Daily Double available at the same time when we have selections ready for future fixtures.

Each Daily Double includes the two selections, combined odds and our reasoning behind both legs.
