Liverpool vs Napoli
When: Tuesday 1st November
Where: Anfield
Kick-off: 8pm BST
How to watch: BT Sport 3
Betfred odds*: Victor Osimhem to score first is 6/1
The last time these sides met Liverpool were woeful. The defence was so disorganised they may as well have not been there. Napoli pulled them apart and showed how much of a dark horse they are this year. They have scored the most goals in the competition with 20 and with their relentless attacking style, they are a tough test for anyone in Europe.
With both teams already through, we might not get the contest we would have wanted but both teams will want to finish the group strongly ahead of the tournament resuming in February.
Marseille vs Tottenham Hotspur
When: Tuesday 1st November
Where: Stade Velodrome
Kick-off: 8pm BST
How to watch: BT Sport 2
Betfred odds*: Tottenham are 11/8 to win the match
After VAR robbed Spurs the chance of securing their place in the round of 16 last time out, Antonio Conte needs to ensure his side avoid defeat against Marseille to see them progress. The hosts beat Marseille 2-0 in the reverse fixture back in September thanks to a late Richarlison brace. With the Brazilian out of action, Conte will look to the likes of Harry Kane and Son Heung-min to help make their qualification as simple as possible.
Marseille know that a win against Spurs can see them qualify despite being fourth in the group. They are two points behind Spurs and one point behind Sporting CP and Eintracht Frankfurt. With everything to play for, this is the group to keep an eye on.
Chelsea vs Dinamo Zagreb
When: Wednesday 2nd November
Where: Stamford Bridge
Kick-off: 8pm BST
How to watch: BT Sport 2
Betfred odds*: Over 2.5 Chelsea goals is priced at 6/5
After a disappointing 4-1 loss on his return to Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday, Graham Potter will demand an immediate response from his players in the Champions League. The Blues have already progressed but the English boss will want his players a much better performance in front of a home crowd.
Potter may make some changes from the side that underperformed at Brighton and Raheem Sterling could be a player who loses his place as he was hooked off after an hour on the south coast.
Manchester City vs Sevilla
When: Wednesday 2nd November
Where: Etihad Stadium
Kick-off: 8pm BST
How to watch: BT Sport 3
Betfred odds*: Manchester City are 7/5 to win both halves
With Manchester City already thinking about the round of 16, we could get another case of Pep Guardiola roulette. To preserve key players for their weekend fixture against Fulham in the Premier League, we could see some of the wider squad players feature to have the chance to impress the Spanish coach.
Having comfortably beaten Sevilla 4-0 away earlier in the season, this match could be viewed as relatively simple task for the reigning Premier League champions, even if their top scorer Erling Haaland isn’t available to play.
Rangers vs Ajax
When: Tuesday 1st November
Where: Ibrox Stadium
Kick-off: 8pm BST
How to watch: BT Sport 4
Betfred odds*: Over 2.5 Ajax goals is 2/1
Rangers are out, we know that, but this final match is about pride more than anything. The Scottish giants have lost all of their matches so far, conceding 19 and scoring just once. This poor record has put Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s position as manager in doubt, and he knows that another poor defeat in Europe will only intensify the pressure on his job.
Real Madrid vs Celtic
When: Wednesday 2nd November
Where: Santiago Bernabeu
Kick-off: 8pm BST
How to watch: BT Sport 4
Betfred odds*: Real Madrid are 13/10 to win to nil
Just like Rangers, Celtic’s European adventure is at an end. But unlike Rangers, they have so far managed to get points on the board. When the Hoops played Los Blancos at Celtic Park earlier in the campaign, they gave a good showing of themselves. Had they been more clinical with the chances they created they could have earned one of the shocks of the season. However, Real Madrid taught them a lesson by showing them how to take your chances.
