With just two more matchdays remaining in the Champions League group stage, we have combined three goals selections markets to create a +310 matchday 5 Parlay with BetOnline (visit our BetOnline Review).
We have a must-win game for both Atalanta and Young Boys, a heavyweight clash between Atletico Madrid and Ac Milan, and finally, the battle for 3rd place in group A. Let’s see Champions League odds.
Atalanta BC vs. BSC Young Boys
Tuesday, November 23, 2021 – 03:00 PM EST at Stadion Wankdorf
Young Boy host the Italian team Atalanta here in this group B fixture, last time these teams met in Italy the final score was 1-0 to Atalanta. We don’t think we are going to see such a low-scoring fixture this time around as Atalanta must win if they want to jump into 1st or 2nd spot in the group (depending on the result between Man Utd and Villarreal).
Young Boys can leapfrog Atalanta but a draw here really won’t do Young Boys any good, it wouldn’t be the worst result and they could still qualify with a draw but do they really want to hang their hopes on a victory over Man Utd at Old Trafford? In what will most likely be a must-win game for Man Utd even if they beat Villarreal.
For us, we think there are going to be at least three goals in this game. Young Boys have averaged 1.5 goals per game at home this campaign and Atalanta 2 goals away from home. With a lot on the line here between two attacking teams we think we will see over 2.5 goals in this one.

AC Milan vs. Atletico Madrid
Wednesday, November 24, 2021 - 03:00 PM EST at Wanda Metropolitano
This is a must-win game for both these teams here but more so for Atletico Madrid as a win here could see them leapfrog Porto and claim the last qualification spot in the group.
With that being said there is still a lot of questions marks around this scenario as a Porto win would change things dramatically and if Porto lost and Ac Milan managed to beat Atletico Madrid, we would then have all three teams vying for second place on the final matchday. Porto host Atletico Madrid on matchday six.
As of right now these teams can only deal with what’s in front of them, Atletico knows a win here would see Milan knocked out, and no matter what the result in Porto and Liverpool they will have to get a result against Porto. Atletico should be well up for this game given their poor run of form as of late, winning just 2 of their previous 7 games.
Although Atletico Madrid is a team that likes to score and sit back, we can’t see them winning this 1-0 and believe if they are to go and win here, they will need two goals. 2-1 or 2-0 to the home team.

RB Leipzig vs. Club Brugge
Wednesday, November 23, 2021 – 3: 00 PM EST at Jan Breydel Stadion
For our final selection, we are taking a look at two teams who cannot qualify for the Champions League knockout phase but are in a two-way battle for the 3rd place spot in the group, which will mean automatic qualification for the Europa League knockout phase.
Okay, so technically Club Brugge can still qualify for the Champions League knockout phase but that would require them beating RB Leipzig on home soil and then traveling to Paris to face PSG on matchday 6 and picking up a win, which is very unlikely as the sportsbooks have them at betting odds of +3400 to do exactly that.
RB Leipzig knows they must win here as they are 3 points behind Brugge, so nothing other than a win here will do unless they wish to settle for a draw and hope PSG beat Brugge on matchday 6 and they can beat Man City on home soil. In our eyes their a better chance of RB Leipzig drawing this game and beating Man City than there is on Brugge to win both games.
We are going to take both teams to find them back of the net here, RB Leipzig will be very disappointed in their campaign so far, and know a win can give them hope of making the Europa League. Both teams have seen both teams scoring in both their home and away games in the competition thus far and we can see both finding the back of the net here in what we expect to be a high-scoring affair.
