Champions League Tips: Joe Cole’s Tuesday picks featuring Arsenal & Man City

Joe isn't expecting the Premier League teams to dominate on Tuesday.

Paddy Power pundit Joe Cole landed a 9/1 correct score shout in Monday night’s Premier League action between Bournemouth and Southampton – and he’s back for more in the Champions League on Tuesday evening.

Premier League big boys Manchester City and Arsenal are in action as they face Slovan Bratislava and PSG respectively.

Joe has one player pick in here too, so Paddy’s Super Sub promotion will kick in if he’s replaced during the match and the bet will carry over to his replacement.

Champions League Tips

Arsenal v PSG
PSG to win
Both teams to score: Yes
Warren Zaire-Emery to score

Slovan Bratislava v Man City
Slovan Bratislava (+2) handicap

Arsenal v PSG

WHEN: Tuesday, 1st October, 8pm
WHERE:  Emirates Stadium, London
TV: Amazon Prime

I like this new-look PSG team with Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz in the midfield. They’re aggressive but they’ve got quality. Warren Zaire-Emery is a player too.

PSG will give Arsenal a bit of trouble. Mikel Arteta’s side have been fine so far this season and they did what they needed to do when drawing at Man City last month but I’m not sure they’ll be able to contain the French side.

I’m siding with PSG to win and Both teams to score: Yes. Both of these teams have too much quality to not get on the scoresheet.

There could be value in backing PSG’s Zaire-Emery to score. They have a lot of freedom in that midfield and he’s been getting forward more often.

When Kylian Mbappe was there, the midfield were expected to just defend and track runners but now they have the opportunity to get forward and cause problems.

Slovan Bratislava v Man City

WHEN: Tuesday, 1st October, 8pm
WHERE: Stadion Tehelne Pole, Bratislava
TV: TNT Sports

Man City will saunter through the league stage in the Champions League this season but going away from home in Europe can be a grind, even if you’re facing the likes of Slovan Bratislava.

City dropped points at the weekend in the Premier League and Pep Guardiola will likely rotate the team and make a few changes on Tuesday night.

I’m expecting City to get the job done, however, I don’t see them hammering Slovan Bratislava.

I fancy City to win by one goal. There isn’t any pressure on the home side and they might play with some freedom against the Premier League champions.

Slovan Bratislava (+2) on the handicap betting makes sense. They can lose by one goal and this will be settled as a winner!
