With Real Madrid once again defending champions, the fight to win the 2022/23 Champions League is now at the quarter-final stage, and this is the place to come for the latest tips and information on Europe’s biggest and best continental competition.

The last 16 brought mixed success for Premier League clubs with two continuing in the competition and two bowing out. Chelsea overturned a one-goal deficit to eliminate Borussia Dortmund at Stamford Bridge last Tuesday, while Tottenham were unable to turn the tide against Italian champions AC Milan, ending their continental campaign for 2022/23.

This week, Pep Guardiola moved one step closer to the coventry Champions League trophy when Man City hosted RB Leipzig, thanks to a 8-1 aggregate thrashing. The scoreline was tied after the first leg but Erling Haaland put RB Leipzig to the sword at the Etihad, scoring five goals and breaking a number of Champions League records along the way.

However, Liverpool were unable to overturn their 5-2 deficit to Real Madrid from their first leg with a 1-0 defeat at the Santiago Bernabeu adding to their poor season.

The last 16 draw also treated us to a marquee match-up between Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich, and it was the German champions who came out on top last week in that clash of the titans, winning 3-0 on aggregate. Benfica joined them in the quarter-finals after a 7-1 aggregate battering of Club Brugge.

Elsewhere, Porto and Inter squared off on the Iberian peninsula for the second leg of their last-16 clash, with the San Siro side holding onto their 1-0 advantage from the first leg. And runaway Serie A leaders Napoli made it a hat-trick of Italian sides in the quarter-finals as they reached this stage of the very first time, beating Eintracht Frankfurt 5-0 over two legs.

What betting markets are popular for the Champions League?

Full-time results

There’s no more popular market to use your Champions League betting tips on than full-time results and score lines.

As each game doles up different opponents, varying playing styles, and fluctuating form, you’ll have the chance to work out what the final scoreboard will look like.

To score and win tips

Although the Champions League final will be a close one, there is a clear favourite and odds may be short-priced than hoped. A way round this is to look at other markets such as the score and to win bet.

Both teams to score

Simple really – both teams must score for a BTTS bet to payout, and that’s regardless of who wins the game at the end of the 90 minutes, making it one of the more popular wagers to use with those Champions League betting tips.

This also counts for extra time goals and penalty permutations, which will come in handy in the final, so keep your eyes peeled.

Player total shots

Here you’ll be able to forecast how many shots you think any given player will rack up over the match, normally as an under/over wager.

Last year, it was the likes of Robert Lewandowski, Mohamed Salah and Karim Benzema who were racking up the shots and putting the opposition keeper to the test.

Bookings

The man leading the all-time charts is none other than Sergio Ramos – who’d have thought? – with 40 to his name. So far 25 players have booked three times this season to secure a suspension, while seven have gone one further to receive four yellow cards, including Enzo Fernandez.

This week’s Champions League predictions

There are plenty more wagers still yet to place, especially on all of this week’s action, which will give you all the opportunities to put those Champions League betting tips to use. So, without further ado…

Price boosts are one way to get ahead of the betting game, especially considering that most major bookmakers will be offering these on every game of the 2022/23 Champions League campaign.

All the big games will have price boosts on them including new customer offers at massive enhanced odds and existing customer price boosts. 888sport are one bookmaker you shouldn’t sleep on in this regard!
