The fourth round of games in the Champions League continues on Wednesday night with some mouth watering ties taking place across Europe. Tottenham Hotspur host Real Madrid at Wembley Stadium, whilst Manchester City head out to Naples to take on an in form Napoli side. They are just two of the matches that feature in this big odds 4-Fold preview, with all of the odds coming courtesy of Ladbrokes and accurate at the time of writing.
Liverpool v NK Maribor
Liverpool beat NK Maribor 7-0 when these two sides met a fortnight ago and Jurgen Klopp will be confident of another big win on Wednesday night. The German is likely to shuffle his pack with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in line for his first start since arriving in the summer transfer window. I’m backing Liverpool to win with a -3 handicap, and considering the result in the first game between these sides, you’d have to think there’s a great chance of Liverpool scoring four or more.

FC Porto v RB Leipzig
RB Leipzig won the previous fixture between these two sides in what was a real classic out in Germany. All of the goals came in the first half during a 3-2 victory for RB Leipzig, but Porto gave a solid account of themselves in that game and I’m backing them to win this time around. Things are very tight in Group G and if Porto lose this one, they are all but out.

Napoli v Manchester City
Manchester City are flying at the moment, both domestically and in the Champions League. Pep Guardiola’s side have a 100% record in Group F, as well as holding a five-point lead at the top of the Premier League. On Wednesday they head out to Italy to face a Napoli side who have been underwhelming in Europe this season, picking up just three points from their first three games. They have been superb in Serie A though and currently lead the way having won 10 and drawn one of their first 11 matches. I think this will be a really close game, but I’m backing Manchester City to pick up a narrow victory.

Tottenham Hotspur v Real Madrid
This is a big game for both of these sides with them currently locked on seven points each at the top of the group. Whoever wins on Wednesday can qualify for the knockout stages, but I think it’ll be a tight game. Both of these sides are coming into the match off the back of defeats in the league, with Spurs going down 1-0 to Manchester United and Real Madrid being shocked 2-1 by newly promoted Girona. I think it’ll be another tight game on Wednesday night and I’m backing a draw in this one.
