The UEFA Champions League is upon us, and Wednesday's matches prove another thrilling one. Hansi Flick will return to Germany to play Dortmund. However, Manchester City and Juventus will battle it out at Allianz Stadium. While Mikel Arteta Arsenal will welcome Monaco, they will look to extend their unbeaten run at Emirates Stadium. In the following paragraphs, I will look into the complete betting analysis of each game.

Monaco in the UEFA Champions League have had their best days, and they do not look like they will settle for less. With the two teams accumulating the same points, ten from the first five rounds of matches, this game looks like an open one. However, Arsenal are on another level as a team compared to Monaco, and I expect them to be the better side at home. While Monaco have been competitive offensively, they could do well to net here. Therefore, a bet on Arsenal winning is a good option in a game that could end with goals.

Dortmund vs Barcelona
Barcelona come in on a run of poor and inconsistent performances and will hope to do better on the road. However, Dortmund have an unbeaten run of games into this game and will feel confident on home turf with their top players like Jamie Gittens and Serhou Guirassy leading their attack. However, Barcelona have their complete squad ready for this encounter, with 17-year-old Lamine Yamal expected to lead alongside Lewandoski and Raphinha. This should be a game of the side with the better team, but the level Dortmund have raised since last year, reaching the Champions League final while losing only once so far in this competition, is worth commending. While the two teams have been offensive-minded, I expect goals, but as a slight favourite, Barcelona will secure a win.

Juventus vs Manchester City
Manchester City and Juventus have been struggling to live up to expectations and step up their game. While Juventus are at home, they have been unbeaten in nine matches, settling for a draw in their last four games. However, Manchester City have lost so many games this season, with just one win in nine competitive encounters. In fact, on the road, their best result were draws against Crystal Palace and Feyenoord. In the meantime, Juventus' inability to secure wins will be an issue in this game. While Manchester City have the players to win matches for them on the big stage, I feel the Pep Guardiola side might turn the tables around and secure a close win.
