Back this 29/1 Champions League acca on Tuesday

The Champions League knockouts get underway on Tuesday evening when a host of the continent's top sides will be in action.

Odds Now's Brad Walker (@brad_TWalker) has taken a closer look at the four contests and picked out a tidy 15/1 four-fold for you to dive into.

Selection #1 - Arsenal to beat PSV - 100/30

The Gunners' patchy form has seen them all but surrender the Premier League title race to Liverpool.

Consequently, the Champions League may be their only shot of securing silverware this season. To their credit, Arsenal have performed admirably in the competition so far, winning six of their eight games in Europe. This includes their last two away matches, which saw them move past Sporting Lisbon (1-5) and Girona (1-2) on the road.

In fact, a 2-0 loss at Newcastle in the Carabao Cup is their only away defeat in their last 12 in all competitions.

PSV are also in poor form, having lost three of their last five, leaving the visitors in a strong position to claim victory here.

Selection #2 - Real Madrid to draw with Atletico Madrid - 27/10

A 2-1 loss at Real Betis ended Real Madrid's seven match unbeaten run at the weekend, causing them to drop down to third in the La Liga table.

City rivals Atletico Madrid are one of the two sides above them but Diego Simeone's men have hardly convinced themselves in recent weeks, having drawn three of their last five. The run includes a 1-1 draw at the Bernabeu in early February.

While backing an away win may be a stretch too far - Atletico haven't won at the home of their rivals since February 2016 - the visitors are renowned for being tough to break down and have held Los Blancos to two draws already this season.

Add in Real's poor form in big matches this term, then a draw wouldn't be the greatest shock in the world.

Selection #3 - Borussia Dortmund to beat Lille - 4/6

The season has been a poor one for Dortmund domestically but the Germans have now registered four clean sheets in their last five under Niko Kovac.

'BVB' are also unbeaten in their last three Champions League matches courtesy of a 3-0 aggregate victory over Sporting Lisbon in the play-off round.

Visiting Lille have also struggled in recent weeks, suffering three defeats in their last five. A 2-0 win at Rennes in February remains their only away win in their last five and Bruno Genesio's men have also lost four of their six Champions League games on the road.

Putting all of this together, the home min stands out as the sensible pick here

Selection #4 - Aston Villa to beat Brugge - 29/20

Brugge may have picked up a 1-0 win over Villa in this competition's League Phase back in November, but the visitors have since recruited heavily in forward areas.

Donyell Malen, Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio were all brought in during the January window, with the latter two particularly catching the eye.

Asensio has four goals in five, while Rashford has also mustered three assists in a Villa shirt.

Ultimately, while the Belgian hosts have impressed in the Champions League so far, it's hard to see them repeating their November result on Tuesday evening.
