With the 2025/26 Champions League group stage drawing to a dramatic close on Wednesday, we look set for what will be an action-packed night of European action.
With the battle for knockout stage spots going right down to the wire, all of Europe’s elite will steal centre stage in midweek.
Ahead of what should be a nail-biting night from across the continent, we have taken a glance at some of Wednesday’s most attractive Champions League betting tips.
20:00 Club Brugge vs Marseille
Starting with the hosts, getting their group stage finale underway on Wednesday night sat one-point adrift of finding a route into the play-off places, Club Brugge will be more than aware that they face a must-win showdown here. Keeping their knockout stage dreams away last week as they secured a thumping 4-1 victory away at European debutants Kairat Almaty, Ivan Leko’s men will be dreaming of a repeat performance when they return to the Jan Breydel Stadium. However, despite keeping up their momentum over the weekend as they secured a thrilling 4-3 win against Waregem, the Belgium giants are desperately searching for some much-needed defensive steel. Including a shock 3-2 loss against Pro League relegation scrappers RAAL La Louviere on January 16th, Club Brugge have failed to record a single clean sheet from any of their previous 12 consecutive appearances across all competitions – a rut that stems all the way back to the end of November. Likewise, it should also be highlighted that Wednesday’s hosts have mustered just a sole clean sheet at the Jan Breydel Stadium since way back on October 5th.
As for the visitors, while Marseille might have all but officially punched their Champions League play-off spot, Roberto De Zerbi’s men were last seen putting in a nightmare European performance. Falling to a 3-0 drumming at home against Liverpool, the former Brighton boss made his frustrations clear. Nevertheless, claiming an immediate boost over the weekend as they secured a 3-1 victory against French high-flyers Lens, Les Phoceens have won each of their other three appearances across all competitions. Likewise, despite suffering Super Cup heartbreak at the hands of reigning European champions and bitter domestic rivals PSG on January 8th, Marseille have continued to impress with their success on the road. Extending on their Coupe de France adventure earlier in the month as they clinched a record-breaking 9-0 romp against Bayeux, Wednesday’s guests have won four of their last five showdowns away from the Stade Velodrome. Despite showing their own respective defensive struggles, De Zerbi’s side will be hoping to sign off their group stage campaign with a statement on foreign soil.

20:00 Borussia Dortmund vs Inter Milan
While Borussia Dortmund might sit firmly in the driving seat to punch their knockout stage ticket on Wednesday night, the German giants missed out on the opportunity to make it official last week. Putting in a downbeat dimply as they slumped to a 2-0 loss away at Premier League strugglers Tottenham, Niko Kovac’s men will certainly be excited to make a return to home soil here. Claiming an immediate response over the weekend as they cruised their way to a routine 3-0 romp against Union Berlin, BVB will be dreaming of a repeat display here. With that 2-0 defeat in north London the only loss they have suffered from their previous nine appearances across all competitions, the former Monaco boss has also seen his squad gain a real reputation for their extended dominance in rural Germany. Last seen at Signal Iduna Park snatching a thrilling 3-2 victory against St. Pauli, Dortmund have registered 13 points from their previous five straight showdowns in front of their own supporters.
Also left frustrated last week as they fell to a 3-1 defeat at home against Arsenal, Inter Milan have shown some worrying European issues on either side of opening the New Year. Despite already wrapping up their own play-off stage spot ahead of Wednesday’s trip to rural Germany, the Nerazzurri have lost each of their last three straight Champions League appearances by an aggregate score of 6-2.
Nevertheless, claiming an immediate response over the weekend as they secured a thrilling 6-2 victory at home against Pisa, Cristian Chivu’s side should be excited by their extended success away from the San Siro. Despite suffering Super Cup heartbreak at the hands of Bologna on December 19th, Inter Milan have won each of their other five showdowns on the road. However, last seen on foreign soil getting hit with a 2-1 loss against Atletico Madrid, Inter also slumped to an action-packed 3-1 defeat when they last travelled to Signal Iduna Park back in November 2019.
