Sports Mole


AC Milan vs. Dinamo Zagreb (Wednesday, 5.45pm)

After causing a seismic shock in the Champions League's opening week, Dinamo Zagreb target another major scalp on Wednesday, as they meet AC Milan at San Siro.

An apparently wide open Group E - even more so following Dinamo's triumph over Chelsea and Milan's draw in Salzburg - continues with the hosts having secured victory with 10 men at the weekend; the visitors arrive in Italy on the back of six straight wins.

We say: AC Milan 2-1 Dinamo Zagreb


As Rafael Leao may feel he has a point to prove before his domestic suspension kicks in for Sunday's clash with Napoli, the talented winger may play an integral role in getting Milan off the mark in Group E.

Victory will not come easily, though, as Dinamo possess several players of the calibre and European experience to score at least once and push the home side close.

Shakhtar vs. Celtic (Wednesday, 5.45pm)

Shakhtar Donetsk take on Celtic in Group F of the Champions League on Wednesday, with the game taking place at the Polish Army Stadium in Warsaw due to the ongoing Russian military invasion in Ukraine.

Shakhtar recorded an impressive 4-1 win away to RB Leipzig last week, while Celtic were beaten 3-0 by the reigning champions Real Madrid.

We say: Shakhtar Donetsk 1-2 Celtic


We expect to see a reaction from the visitors, who produced some excellent football at times despite ultimately falling short against Real Madrid.

This match is essentially being played on neutral territory, which could help Postecoglou's side settle down and play their usual slick style of play, especially with Shakhtar unlikely to reproduce yet another remarkable performance.

Rangers vs. Napoli (Wednesday, 8.00pm)

Having experienced very different fortunes on the opening night of the Champions League's Group A, Rangers and Napoli meet at Ibrox on Wednesday.

In a fixture postponed by 24 hours, the hosts aim to bounce back from a chastening defeat to Ajax last week, while their Italian counterparts will hope to recapture the magic of their stirring win over Liverpool.

We say: Rangers 1-1 Napoli


Rangers have only advanced from the group phase in one of their 10 previous participations, so the task which stands before them is quite clear following last week's thumping by Ajax.

They will have learned their lessons from such a setback, though, and in front of a boisterous home crowd can push in-form Napoli all the way; securing their first Group A point.

Chelsea vs. Salzburg (Wednesday, 8.00pm)

Chelsea take on Red Bull Salzburg in Group E of the Champions League on Wednesday, with the Blues looking to win Graham Potter's first match in charge of the club.

Salzburg, meanwhile, recorded a respectable 1-1 draw against AC Milan last week.

We say: Chelsea 2-0 Red Bull Salzburg


We expect Chelsea to be hugely motivated to win this match under their new manager, with Potter's extra time on the training ground likely to have helped their cause of doing so.

The visitors are missing several key players through injury, especially in defence, and they may struggle to keep their opponents at bay as a result.

Real Madrid vs. RB Leipzig (Wednesday, 8.00pm)

Real Madrid will be bidding to make it eight straight wins in all competitions at the start of the season when they continue their Champions League campaign against RB Leipzig on Wednesday night.

Los Blancos, who are the holders of the European Cup, opened their Group F season with a 3-0 victory at Celtic last week, while Leipzig started with a surprise 4-1 home defeat to Shakhtar Donetsk.

We say: Real Madrid 2-1 RB Leipzig


Leipzig's impressive victory over Dortmund at the weekend would certainly have boosted confidence in the camp, but it is so difficult to back against Real Madrid at the moment. This could end up being a tricky affair for the European champions, but we are still expecting them to navigate their way to another three points.

Man City vs. Dortmund (Wednesday, 8.00pm)

Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund will both endeavour to continue their perfect starts to the 2022-23 Champions League in Wednesday's Group G battle at the Etihad Stadium.

Pep Guardiola's side ran out 4-0 winners over Sevilla on matchday one, while BVB eased to a 3-0 success at home to Copenhagen.

We say: Manchester City 3-1 Borussia Dortmund


Without their first-choice goalkeeper and a raft of other players who could potentially make a difference, Dortmund are surely looking at back-to-back away defeats versus the well-rested Premier League champions.

The two clubs' relationship off the pitch is as strong as ever, but Terzic's side will likely travel back to Germany reflecting on their first Champions League loss of the season, as Haaland and co are showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

Copenhagen vs. Sevilla (Wednesday, 8.00pm)

Two teams that suffered disappointing defeats in their Champions League openers last week will lock horns in Denmark on Wednesday evening, as Copenhagen welcome Sevilla to Parken Stadium.

Copenhagen suffered a 3-0 loss to Borussia Dortmund in their first Group G fixture, while Sevilla were beaten 4-0 at home by Manchester City, with the sides sitting third and fourth respectively in the section.

We say: Copenhagen 1-1 Sevilla


Sevilla will believe that they are good enough to win on Wednesday, but it is difficult to back them with any real confidence at the moment due to their issues early in the season. Copenhagen were well beaten at Dortmund last time out, but we believe that the Danish champions will be able to secure a point on home soil.

Juventus vs. Benfica (Wednesday, 8.00pm)

Amid a run of just one win from six matches, Juventus welcome Champions League Group H rivals Benfica to Turin on Wednesday evening.

While the Bianconeri were beaten by Paris Saint-Germain on the opening night - and subsequently found themselves held at home in a controversial Serie A contest - their visitors have won every one of their games this season and sit top of the Primeira Liga table.

We say: Juventus 1-1 Benfica


Another turgid display from Juventus at the weekend suggests that any improvement will have to wait until their top talents return to the squad, so they will do well to grind out a draw against the high-flying Eagles. The hosts are unlikely to take the game to their visitors either, and may have to settle for a point.

Maccabi Haifa vs. PSG (Wednesday, 8.00pm)

Paris Saint-Germain will hope to record a second consecutive Champions League Group H win when they make the long journey to Israel to take on Maccabi Haifa on Wednesday night.

The hosts fell to a 2-0 loss to Benfica on the opening matchday, while Christophe Galtier's men ran out 2-1 winners over Juventus at the Parc des Princes.

We say: Maccabi Haifa 0-3 Paris Saint-Germain


PSG's failures away from home in the Champions League last season should count for nought here, with Maccabi Haifa rather short in midfield and unlikely to trouble the French champions in the final third.

The Israeli champions did manage to frustrate Benfica for a good chunk of time on the opening day, and PSG could not score a horde of goals against a five-man Brest backline, but Galtier's men should get the job done with minimal trouble this week.
