The Champions League group stage is approaching the halfway point this term, with plenty of the usual suspects bang in the mix to progress to the knockout rounds.
Five genuine big hitters in Inter Milan, PSG, Arsenal, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are the only sides possessing 100% records and they will be looking to maintain their impressive starts.
Elsewhere, the likes of Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund are sitting in the top eight, while Barcelona and Liverpool breath down their necks.
Down at the bottom of the pile, Benfica and Ajax await their first points of the competition and they along with Kairat, Villareal and FC Copenhagen look to have their work cut out in pursuit of the next stage.
Here are our Champions League tips for the fourth round of group stage fixtures in the 2025/26:
2025/26 UEFA Champions League Matchday 4 Predictions
—
Napoli ($1.62)
Eintracht Frankfurt ($5.40)
Draw ($4.40)
Serie A holders Napoli will be looking to push on with their European hopes, as they take on Eintracht Frankfurt in Southern Italy. The side from Naples are always tough to beat at home and as they need UCL points, they should have enough to get the job done here.
Napoli to win 2-0
—
Slavia Prague ($12.00)
Arsenal ($1.29)
Draw ($6.00)
Premier League leaders Arsenal are the team to catch domestically, and they will be looking to keep their great run of form going against Slavia Prague. The Czech side have found life tough going in the Champions League thus far and the Gunners should pick them off.
Arsenal to win 3-0
—
Atletico Madrid ($1.29)
Union St Gilloise ($11.50)
Draw ($6.50)
Atletico Madrid will start this one as the strong favourites against Belgian side Union St Gilloise. Diego Simeone’s side are a tough nut to crack at home and while Union should put up a decent fight, Atletico look well placed to pick up all three points here.
Atletico Madrid to win 2-0
—
Bodo/Glimt ($2.45)
Monaco ($2.80)
Draw ($3.80)
Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt will be eager to keep pushing on in the Champions League, as they take on Monaco next. The side from the principality picked up two decent draws against English sides and they may end up settling for another stalemate here in the Arctic circle.
1-1 Draw
—
Juventus ($1.95)
Sporting Lisbon ($4.00)
Draw ($3.75)
Change is afoot once again at Juventus and the Old Lady will be looking to pick up an important win here over Sporting Lisbon. Both of these sides have enough in the tank to win this one, but the ‘Old Lady’ could be good enough to prevail here at home.
Juventus to win 2-1
—
Liverpool ($2.56)
Real Madrid ($2.63)
Draw ($3.90)
Arguably the biggest tie of the round pits Liverpool with Real Madrid, with both sides in need of a win here at Anfield. Heroes welcomes for Xabi Alonso and Trent Alexander Arnold feel guaranteed, but Liverpool should prevail here at home.

—
Olympiakos ($2.60)
PSV ($2.74)
Draw ($3.60)
Greek champions Olympiakos will be seeking a first win of the UCL season, as they welcome PSV Eindhoven to Athens. Neither side has been able to set the world alight so far this term and this could well end up as a draw.
1-1 Draw
—
PSG ($2.50)
Bayern Munich ($2.72)
Draw ($4.00)
Two favourites for the competition this season lock horns here in Paris, and this should be a belter between PSG and Bayern Munich. Both sides have 100% winning records and an entertaining draw for the neutral feels the logical bet.
2-2 Draw
—
Tottenham ($1.34)
FC Copenhagen ($11.00)
Draw ($5.50)
Thomas Frank is enduring a sticky spell as Tottenham manager, but he will be looking to get back on track here against FC Copenhagen. The Danes are winless in the competition so far and Spurs should have enough in reserve to overcome them at home.
Tottenham to win 3-1
—
Paphos FC ($7.50)
Villarreal ($1.50)
Draw ($4.75)
Villarreal will be chasing a first win of the season in the Champions League, as they travel to Cypriot outfit Paphos FC. Reaching the knockout rounds would be a huge coup for both sides but the Spaniards should have too much in reserve here.
Villarreal to win 2-0
—
FK Qarabag ($9.00)
Chelsea ($1.37)
Draw ($5.50)
Chelsea will be looking to build on some impressive recent results, as they take on FK Qarabag. The Azerbaijani side have shown some glimpses of quality thus far in the Champions League, but Chelsea should pick up an important win here.
Chelsea to win 3-1
—
Ajax ($3.20)
Galatasaray ($2.15)
Draw ($4.00)
Turkish giants Galatasaray travel to Ajax, in what should be a very entertaining fixture in Amsterdam. Ajax are without a point thus far in the competition, but Galatasaray tend to struggle on the road, and this could be a draw.
1-1 Draw
—
Benfica ($2.10)
Bayer Leverkusen ($3.50)
Draw ($3.75)
Two sides struggling for form and points in the competition so far meet here, as Benfica host Bayer Leverkusen. Losing here would be catastrophic for both sides, and this one could well end up as a draw in Lisbon.
1-1 Draw
—
Club Brugge ($6.00)
Barcelona ($1.50)
Draw ($5.20)
Barcelona will be desperate to book their passage into the last 16 as quickly as possible and they play Club Brugge next. The Belgian side can produce some good stuff at home, but Barcelona look well placed to win here.
Barcelona to win 3-1
—
Inter Milan ($1.05)
Kairat Almaty ($71.00)
Draw ($18.00)
Nothing looks capable of stopping Inter Milan in the Champions League currently and they take on minnows Kairat Almaty next. The Kazakh side have punched above their weight to reach this stage, but this will be comfortable for Inter.
Inter Milan to win 4-0
—
Manchester City ($1.44)
Borussia Dortmund ($7.40)
Draw ($5.40)
Two unbeaten sides meet here in East Manchester, as City host Borussia Dortmund. Pep Guardiola’s side are playing well and should start as favourites, but Dortmund carry a serious goal threat and are capable of pinching a point.

—
Marseille ($2.10)
Atalanta ($3.40)
Draw ($3.75)
Two teams that can always spring a shock meet here, as Marseille take on Atalanta in the south of France. Both teams harbour ambitions of reaching the knockout rounds and goals should be on the cards here, with Marseille perhaps carrying the most threat.

Athletic Bilbao ($6.50)
