25/26 UCL MD6: Wednesday’s Betting Tips: Madrid–City Showdown, PSG Danger in Bilbao & Goals Galore in Leverkusen

Posted : 09 December 2025

With qualification on the line, matchday 6 of the UEFA Champions League promises to deliver major betting value with Real Madrid vs Manchester City set for goals, Athletic Club tipped to frustrate PSG, and Leverkusen–Newcastle expected to produce another goal-heavy showdown.

Africa Sport Nigeria has put together the best-value bets, match by match:

Qarabağ FK vs AFC Ajax

Qarabağ have been spirited at home but remain fragile defensively, conceding in all five group matches. Ajax, though unpredictable this season, still possess enough attacking quality to punish any loose defending.

Qarabağ score in Baku more often than not, but Ajax’s pace in transition should see them carve out chances all night. Both teams to score & Ajax double chance

Odds: 13/10

Villarreal CF vs FC Copenhagen

Villarreal have turned the Estadio de la Cerámica into a fortress this season with four straight home wins in Europe. Copenhagen have worked hard but have lacked end product on the road, scoring just once away from Denmark in this group.

The Yellow Submarine’s attack is too fluid and too much for Copenhagen’s deep block. Villarreal to win & over 1.5 goals

Odds: 6/5

Athletic Club vs Paris Saint-Germain

This is a trap game for PSG.

Athletic at San Mamés are as intense as any side on the continent. They press, harass, and create chaos, exactly the environment PSG struggle in away from home. The French champions have dropped points in both away games in the group and have looked shaky defending wide areas. Expect fireworks. And expect PSG to suffer. Athletic Club or Draw (Double Chance)

Odds: 10/11

Bayer Leverkusen vs Newcastle United

Leverkusen matches in Europe this season have been pure mayhem, 25 goals in five games. Newcastle, meanwhile, attack with abandon but continue to leak soft goals, especially when stretched away from home.

This has all the ingredients for a high-scoring, end-to-end contest. Over 3.5 goals bet prediction.

Odds: 7/5

SL Benfica vs SSC Napoli

Benfica have rediscovered their rhythm in Lisbon with back-to-back domestic wins and a stronger defensive structure. Napoli, in contrast, have struggled for consistency since October and have failed to win any away UCL match this campaign.

The Portuguese giants tend to rise to the occasion at the Estádio da Luz. Bet prediction is Benfica to win.

Odds: 6/4

Borussia Dortmund vs Bodø/Glimt

Bodø/Glimt are one of the most fearless attacking teams in Europe, but the Signal Iduna Park atmosphere can swallow visiting sides whole. Dortmund haven’t been convincing defensively, yet they always find goals in front of the Yellow Wall.

Expect the Norwegians to give them a scare, but Dortmund’s firepower should prevail. Dortmund to win & both teams to score.

Odds: 9/5

Club Brugge KV vs Arsenal FC

Arsenal have travelled well in Europe this season, surviving difficult away grounds with professionalism and control. Brugge, competitive but inconsistent, tend to concede early goals, a problem when facing a side that dominate territory and tempo like Arsenal. This feels like an “efficient, grown-up away win” for the Gunners. Arsenal to win & under 3.5 goals.

Odds: 11/8

Juventus FC vs Pafos FC

Pafos have been one of the surprise stories of the season, but all fairytales meet reality at some point and in Turin, reality comes wearing black and white. Juventus’ defensive record at home is exceptional, and Pafos have struggled to impose themselves away from Cyprus.

The Italians should handle this comfortably. Juventus -1 handicap.

Odds: 10/11

Real Madrid CF vs Manchester City FC

The heavyweight showdown of Matchday 6.

Madrid have been devastating at the Bernabéu, sweeping aside opponents with pace, precision and late-game ruthlessness. City, however, remain Europe’s best possession side, though their defence has shown cracks in big away matches this season.

This fixture almost always delivers goals, madness, controversy, and last-minute chaos. Madrid at home, in a must-perform night, have just a slight psychological edge. Both teams to score & over 2.5 goals

Odds: 4/5
