Champions League Acca Tips: A 9/1 Four-Fold for Wednesday’s Round of 16

The Champions League round of 16 continues on Wednesday night with four more first-leg ties, including a heavyweight clash at the Bernabéu between Real Madrid and Manchester City.

Three Premier League clubs are involved in the night’s action. City travel to Spain, Chelsea face a daunting trip to Paris Saint-Germain, while Arsenal head to Germany to meet Bayer Leverkusen.

We’ve picked out one selection from each fixture to build a Wednesday Champions League accumulator paying around 9/1.

Arsenal to win & under 3.5 goals @ 5/4
Bodo/Glimt draw no bet @ 17/20

Accumulator pays: 9/1

Arsenal Can Take Control in Germany

Arsenal remain firmly in contention across multiple competitions and will view Wednesday’s trip to the BayArena as a key opportunity to establish a first-leg advantage.

Having topped the Champions League’s first phase with a perfect eight wins from eight, Mikel Arteta’s side appear well placed in the knockout bracket.

While their recent performances have been more efficient than spectacular, Arsenal’s defensive discipline and tactical control should serve them well in Germany. A narrow but controlled victory looks likely, making the combination of an Arsenal win with under four goals an appealing play.

Option 1: Arsenal to win & under 3.5 goals @ 5/4

Bodo/Glimt Looking to Continue Their Fairytale

Few stories have captured the imagination in this season’s Champions League like the rise of Bodø/Glimt.

The Norwegian side stunned Europe during the league phase with victories over Manchester City and Atlético Madrid, before eliminating Inter Milan 5-2 on aggregate in the play-offs.

Their artificial surface in the Arctic Circle has proven a serious advantage for visiting teams, and they will fancy their chances of gaining at least a first-leg edge before travelling to Lisbon.

Backing Glimt with draw-no-bet protection offers solid value.

Option 2: Bodø/Glimt draw no bet @ 17/20

Goals Expected in Paris

Although Paris Saint-Germain had to navigate the knockout play-off round to reach the last 16, few teams ended last season in stronger form.

Under Luis Enrique, PSG swept aside Inter Milan 5-0 in the Champions League final and remain one of Europe’s most dangerous attacking sides.

Chelsea should provide far sterner resistance than most opponents. Since Liam Rosenior took charge at Stamford Bridge, the Blues have looked far more fluid going forward.

Chelsea’s four-goal display against Aston Villa last week and PSG’s recent defensive vulnerabilities suggest this first leg could produce plenty of goals.

Option 3: Over 2.5 goals in PSG vs Chelsea @ 3/5

Another Classic Expected Between Real and City

Few Champions League rivalries have produced as much drama in recent years as Real Madrid vs Manchester City.

The two giants have now faced each other in the knockout rounds for five consecutive seasons, and history suggests fireworks once again.

Both teams have scored in seven of their last eight knockout encounters, while City claimed a 2-1 win at the Bernabéu earlier in this season’s league phase.

With attacking talent on both sides of the pitch, Wednesday’s first leg could easily deliver another high-quality spectacle.

Option 4: Both teams to score in Real Madrid vs Manchester City @ 11/20
