You can find our Champions League picks today for every match on January 22, here.
Champions League Picks Today
RB Leipzig vs. Sporting Lisbon
Leipzig and Sporting Lisbon collide for the first time in the Champions League on Wednesday. Portuguese teams have an excellent away record against German sides, winning three of the last four matches.
Meanwhile, Leipzig have suffered defeats in all six Champions League matches this season. Therefore, the Champions League picks today will be siding with Sporting bouncing back to form, as they bid to avoid successive defeats in the competition for the first time since 2016-17.
Shakhtar Donetsk vs. Brest
French sides have avoided defeat against Shakhtar Donetsk in all previous encounters. However, the home side have lost just two of their last 12 matches against sides that they are coming up against for the first time.
Brest have enjoyed a fairytale campaign to this point, and have won four of their six matches. However, it is likely that the Ligue 1 side will be appeased with a point on the road this week.
Feyenoord vs. Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich boast a 100% record against Feyenoord in the two previous clashes between the sides. Meanwhile, the Bavarians are unbeaten in their last eight matches against Dutch opponents.
Feyenoord have been involved in some of the most entertaining matches in the Champions League this season, with their fixtures seeing a total of 29 goals. However, their leaky defensive record ensures that the preference is for the hosts on Wednesday.
Arsenal vs. Dinamo Zagreb
Arsenal have recorded wins in three of their four matches against Dinamo Zagreb. It would also be a concern that no Croatian side has ever recorded an away win in England in the Champions League.
Home advantage could be the key consideration this week, as no side has won more games or kept more clean sheets than the Gunners at the Emirates since the start of last season.
Celtic vs. Young Boys
Young Boys have failed to win on their last three trips to Scotland. Meanwhile, Celtic’s form in the competition this season has been reliable, with their only defeat in their last seven coming on the road against Borussia Dortmund.
Young Boys are pointless in the competition this season, and their losing sequence looks set to continue at Celtic Park on Wednesday.
Sparta Prague vs. Inter Milan
Inter Milan have recorded wins in three of their four matches against Spara Prague. Meanwhile, the hosts have recorded just one win in their last 20 matches in the Champions League, and they have suffered defeats in each of their last four.
Inter have recorded 1-0 wins in three of their last four matches. Therefore, a low-scoring affair looks among the sound Champions League picks today, with the Italians coming out on top.
