)

Best bet:

Opta facts

  • Manchester United have lost three of their last four games against Turkish opponents in European competition (W1), including each of the last two in a row.
  • İstanbul Başakşehir’s previous three games against English sides in European competition have seen them lose once, draw once and win once, with their only victory coming in this season’s reverse fixture against Manchester United in the UEFA Champions League.
  • İstanbul Başakşehir striker Demba Ba has made four previous appearances at Old Trafford in all competitions, scoring one goal in a 1-1 draw while playing for Newcastle United in November 2011.
  • Five of Marcus Rashford’s nine goals for Manchester United in the UEFA Champions League have been scored after coming off the bench – indeed, the only player to score more goals for the club in the competition as a substitute is current manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (7).

Rennes v Chelsea

  • 17:55 GMT on BT Sport 3
  • Match odds:
)

Best bet:

Opta facts

  • The first European encounter between Rennes and Chelsea was on MD3 of this season’s UEFA Champions League, with the Blues winning 3-0 at Stamford Bridge.
  • Rennes are yet to win in any of their three UEFA Champions League matches so far (D1 L2) and are only the second French side to fail to win any of their first three games in the competition, after Montpellier (winless in first six).
  • Rennes have lost seven of their last 10 matches in the UEFA Europa League/Champions League (W1 D2), although only one of those defeats was in a home match, losing 1-0 against CFR Cluj in October 2019 in the Europa League.
  • Only Marseille (0 goals from 19 shots) have a worse shot conversion rate than Rennes (1 goal from 29 shots, 3.5%) in the UEFA Champions League this season. None of Rennes’ players have attempted more than four shots so far (Serhou Guirassy the most, 4).

Krasnodar v Sevilla

  • 17:55 GMT on BT Sport 1
  • Match odds:

Elsewhere in Group E, Sevilla will be hoping to keep the pressure on Chelsea at the top as they travel to a Krasnodar side with just one point on their tally. Victory here will also likely secure their progression to the knockout stages of the competition.

They look good value at 8/13 to do that, and may be worth inclusion in an outright win double with Chelsea. Krasnodar have lost five of their last six games and were beaten 3-2 in a high-scoring contest against Sevilla in their last Champions League outing.

Goals could well be on the cards again here, even if Sevilla are relatively low scorers in the Champions League. Three of their last four games in all competitions have seen over 2.5 goals and it's the same 8/13 price on that happening again here. Instead though, with those goals figures in mind, the goalscorer market again provides the value and Diego Carlos is worth backing at a big price.

The Sevilla defender hasn't scored yet this season but he has had a number of chances to do so. Carlos has seen a huge total of six shots in his last two Champions League games while he has had six shots across eight LaLiga appearances.

25% of the goals conceded by Krasnodar in the Champions League this season have been from set-piece situations, while Sevilla have seen two of their four goals come from corners or free-kicks. It's set up to be a contest where Sevilla can get at least one of their goals from set-pieces.

That will give Carlos and fellow centre-back Jules Kounde the opportunity to strike. Kounde is similar prices to Carlos but we are settling on the latter given the number of chances he has had in European games so far.

The constant transfer links to Juventus won't go away and they should only grow louder if Carlos does strike here. Sevilla winning with over 2.5 goals in the game is the outright choice at a best price of 13/10 with Betfair and Paddy Power but, with that 22/1 winner in the last round of Champions League fixtures, it's worth being brave with another goalscorer and taking the Sevilla centre-back to strike.

Score prediction: Krasnodar 1-3 Sevilla ()

Best bet:

Opta facts

  • Krasnodar have only hosted Sevilla in a European match once previously, winning 2-1 in a UEFA Europa League match in October 2018.
  • In their only previous UEFA Champions League meeting on MD3 this season, Sevilla came from two goals down to win 3-2 at Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán.
  • On MD3 against Krasnodar, Sevilla became only the third team in UEFA Champions League history to win a match after having a man sent off when they were losing, after Hamburg against CSKA Moscow in December 2006 and Man City against Schalke 04 in February 2019.
  • Sevilla manager Julen Lopetegui has only lost four of his 22 UEFA Champions League matches (W13 D5), though his last defeat in the competition was away in Russia, losing with Real Madrid at CSKA Moscow in October 2018.
