Who Has the Best Offer for the Champions League This Week?

Bet365's usual offer is always excellent value but looking at the two bespoke offers for Galatasary vs. Liverpool, Betfair just have the edge. 

Liverpool games this season have seen plenty of goals with the Reds looking far leakier than they did at any stage of last season and their attacking prowess is well-known.

Mohamed Salah has been the go-to guy over the years but he's only scored twice so far this campaign and is getting less of the ball and fewer shots as a result of the arrival of Alexander Isak, Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz. 

Both feel likely to happen but it could be another barren night for the Egyptian in a game that surely will have goals regardless.
