Matchday 5 fixtures to watch

Wednesday 25 November: Club Brugge vs Liverpool, Lille vs Bayern München, Paris Saint-Germain vs Roma, Inter vs Stuttgart.
Betting angles
- Back goals in Paris. PSG are scoring freely, so PSG Over 1.5 team goals is a natural starting point against Roma.
- Liverpool away is not a banker. After losing in Istanbul, Brugge at home can make it awkward. Consider BTTS.
- Arsenal at home. They are stingy in the league. Dortmund's attacking style may test that, so watch team news before backing a clean sheet.
The league phase ends with 18 simultaneous games on 27 January, so by Matchday 5 many sides will be chasing points. Motivation matters.
