Top Champions League Matchday 4 Tuesday Betting Picks

Many of Europe's top teams are in action when the Champions League resumes on Tuesday. We have previewed some of the most intriguing games, including Malmö versus Chelsea, Juventus against Zenit, and Atalanta hosting Manchester United.

European champion Chelsea will bid to maintain its impressive run of results when it heads to Sweden to face Malmö on Tuesday. Manchester United and Juventus are also in action, and there is a great deal of value on offer in their games.

Here are my top betting picks and predictions for the Champions League Matchday 4 Tuesday schedule (Odds via Unibet; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5 star scale).

Champions League Matchday 4 Picks

Chelsea -2 Asian Handicap vs. Malmö (-114) ????Juventus to Beat Zenit & Under 4.5 Goals (-125) ????Atalanta vs. Manchester United – Both Teams to Score & Over 2.5 Goals (-143) ????

Champions League Matchday 4 Predictions

Chelsea -2 Asian Handicap vs. Malmö (-114) ????

Malmö looks horribly out of its depth in the Champions League. The Swedish team has lost 3-0 to Juventus, 4-0 to Zenit Saint Petersburg, and 4-0 to Chelsea, leaving it bottom of its group with the worst record in the competition.

Chelsea barely broke a sweat when beating Malmö at Stamford Bridge two weeks ago. Forwards Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner were injured, but the Blues were still dominant.

That duo is still missing, but Chelsea has subsequently beaten Norwich 7-0 and Newcastle 3-0 to cement its position at the top of the Premier League table.

This is a game Chelsea should win comfortably, so a -2 Asian handicap looks like a good option.

Juventus to Beat Zenit & Under 4.5 goals (-125) ????

Juventus has a great opportunity to snap a two-match losing streak when it welcomes Zenit to Turin on Tuesday.

The Bianconeri battled to a 1-0 win when these teams met in Saint Petersburg a fortnight ago, ensuring they retained their 100 percent winning start to the competition. They have since lost back-to-back games against Sassuolo and Verona, leaving manager Massimiliano Allegri under pressure.

Russian teams tend to struggle on their travels in Europe, so Juventus should be able to grind out a morale-boosting victory on Tuesday.

Atalanta vs. Manchester United – Both Teams to Score and Over 2.5 goals (-143) ????

A bet on both teams to score and Over 2.5 goals has paid off in five of the last six matches featuring Atalanta. A 1-1 draw with Udinese was the exception, but in recent weeks it has lost 3-2 to AC Milan, beaten Empoli 4-1, lost 3-2 to Manchester United, beaten Sampdoria 3-1, and drawn 2-2 with Lazio.

Gian Piero Gasperini's men are terrific in attack with Duvan Zápata currently leading the charge, but they really struggle in defense.

United should be buoyed by that 3-2 win against Atalanta at Old Trafford two weeks ago. It was 2-0 down at half-time, but it turned things around after the break. A subsequent 5-0 defeat to Liverpool left a dark cloud over Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's reign at the club, but a 3-0 away win against Spurs at the weekend lightened the mood.

We should be in for another open, entertaining game between two talented teams with clear defensive weaknesses.

Champions League Matchday 4 Quick Picks

Atalanta vs. Manchester United: Manchester United draw no bet (-120)United looked a lot stronger after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer switched to a back three at the weekend, and they could edge this game.

Dynamo Kiev vs. Barcelona: Barcelona to win (-148)Barcelona is in a state of disrepair right now, but it still has enough quality to beat a limited Dynamo Kiev team.

Bayern Munich vs. Benfica: Bayern -2 Asian handicap (+102)Bayern thumped Benfica 4-0 when the teams met in Lisbon last month, and they could repeat the feat on Tuesday.

Malmö vs. Chelsea: Chelsea win to nil (-120)Chelsea has won its last four games to nil in the Premier League and Champions League, and Malmö is yet to score in the competition.
