The final matchday of the UEFA Champions League league phase draws to a close, the final matchday is set to bring a blend of huge drama and excitement. With teams battling not only for qualification to the knockout rounds but also for coveted spots in the top eight, every match will be a do-or-die affair.
The stakes could not be higher as clubs fight to continue their Champions League dreams, making this the perfect opportunity for fans to witness edge-of-your-seat action and win big on bets.
We take a closer look at a selection of the matches and breaking down the best tips for making the most of the final matchday:
Aston Villa vs Celtic
Aston Villa will be battling to move into the top eight as they currently sit ninth in the league phase table, while Celtic are hoping for a shock entry into the top eight with a win as they sit 18th with 12 points, just one point outside the top eight.
Villa will be favourites given their home advantage, where they have not lost in Europe and lost just once in 12 Premier League games, while Celtic are also yet to pick up a win on the road in the Champions League this term.
While we expect this to lead to Aston Villa securing the win, Celtic have seen 21 goals in their seven European fixtures, leading us to believe that both teams will score in this one.

Barcelona vs Atalanta
Raphinha has been in unbelievable form for Barcelona this season, scoring 23 and assisting nine in 31 matches across all competitions, including eight goals and two assists in seven Champions League fixtures.
The Brazilian is heading into this one having scored in four of his last five, six goals in that time, and with Barcelona seeing the most goals of any side in the competition this term, with 37 goals – 26 scored and 11 conceded – we expect Raphinha to have plenty of chances. With the form the winger is in, he is good value to get on the scoresheet once more.

Inter vs Monaco
Inter sit fourth in the Champions League league phase table with 16 points from their seven games, after five wins, one draw and one loss, meaning just a point from this match would confirm their spot in the top eight.
They come up against 10th-placed Monaco, who have 13 points and could move above the hosts if they win with a three-goal swing in their favour, but the visitors have managed just four points on the road, while the hosts have won all of their three home fixtures.
With this, as well as Inter losing just twice at home across all competitions so far this season, we believe the hosts will win here.

Manchester City vs Club Brugge
Rather remarkably, Manchester City are staring down the barrel of Champions League elimination coming into this game, as they currently sit 25th in the table with eight points, meaning only a win will do if they are to have any chance of qualification.
They have failed to win any of their last four Champions League fixtures, with three defeats and one draw, but a 3-1 win against Chelsea at the weekend will lift their spirits heading into Wednesday’s fixture.
Their opponents, Club Brugge, are aiming to secure their place in the top 24, down in 20th with 11 points, meaning they need just a point to ensure their qualification, while a City win could see the hosts leapfrog the visitors.
With City’s spirits lifted following their victory against Chelsea, alongside having the home advantage and huge motivation to avoid a shock elimination, expect the hosts to secure a commanding victory against a Brugge side that have struggled for goals this season, scoring just six in seven league phase matches.
Manchester City to win by 2 goals, 3.55
