Rangers to come up short, plus six other bets for your Tuesday night acca
Looking to put on a Champions League acca this Tuesday night? Here are seven potential bets to include.
The promised land of Champions League moves ever-closer as the third qualifying round concludes on a tasty Tuesday of European soccer.
Planet Sport have compiled a list of seven bets which you can cherry pick for your latest accumulator.
Rangers vs Malmo
Rangers are reeling after their 2-1 defeat in Malmo last week was followed by a 1-0 reverse at Dundee United, their first loss in 41 league games.
The bookies are keeping the faith, installing Steven Gerrard's men as 4/5 favourites to qualify for the Champions League play-offs.
However, Malmo will be no pushovers as they are unbeaten in their last 15 games, including draws in Helsinki and Riga in the previous two qualifying rounds.
We like the look of the Malmo / Draw double chance bet at 17/10.
FC Midtjylland vs PSV Eindhoven
They travel to Denmark with a 3-0 lead to defend, but we have a feeling Roger Schmidt's expansive side won't be sitting back, with over 1.5 PSV goals a 5/6 shot.
However, after the way the visitors took apart the Danes last week, an even more eye-catching bet is the even money for an away win.
Benfica vs Spartak Moscow
Back on home turf the soaring Eagles are 40/85 to breeze past Spartak, who have lost three out of their last four games.
The Russians have also failed to score in three of those matches, so Benfica to win to nil is sure to be popular, at 7/5.
Monaco vs Sparta Prague
Monaco also secured an impressive away win last week, winning 2-0 in Prague. They will find a home in many accas, even at 4/9.
And while qualification does look a step too far, we reckon they will still find the net.
Legia Warsaw vs Dinamo Zagreb
The draw is priced up at a tasty 21/10, but with both sides in good form we're happy with the 9/10 on offer for both teams to score.
Shakhtar Donetsk vs Genk
A home league defeat last weekend was not the ideal preparation for the Miners, and with Genk winning away in their last domestic encounter, plenty will fancy the Belgians to find the net, at 4/11.
However, the Smurfs (yes, that is their nickname) have lost their last three European games away from home, and when all's said and done we expect a Shakhtar win.
Sheriff Tiraspol vs Red Star Belgrade
The goal-hungry hosts are 3/1 to win on the night and secure what would be one of the most famous victories in their history.

However we're not quite ready to pull the trigger on the Sheriff, as their opponents have won four and drawn one of their last five games. We're going for goals instead with over 2.5 an even money shot.
