With the Champions League play-off action rolling onto Wednesday night, last season’s finalists will travel to Norway for a potential banana skin against European dark horses Bodo/Glimt.
Alongside four Champions League showdowns, we also have some eye-catching battles from the likes of La Liga and the Premier League.
For those of you looking to stick on a Wednesday acca, we have taken a glance at some of the most attractive European betting markets which are available.
Wednesday. February 18th
BST 19:45 AC Milan vs Como
While AC Milan might have a monumental challenge on their hands in the race to capture a record-breaking 20th Serie A crown this season, the Rossoneri are enjoying what has been a stellar campaign under Max Allergi’s guidance.
Currently sat in silver medal position among Italy’s elite and cruising their way to a lucrative Champions League return, the former Juventus boss certainly finds the mood in his camp at a red-hot high.
In fact, AC Milan have remarkably suffered just a single defeat from any of their 24 Serie A appearances this season and they will be looking to make another public statement here.
Last seen over the weekend securing a 2-1 victory away at Pisa, it should also be highlighted that Wednesday’s hosts have registered 13 points from their last five top-flight showdowns.
Riding a major wave of momentum, Allegri’s men have rightfully received a string of plaudits from across Italy’s elite.
Missing out on what they had billed as a golden opportunity over the weekend as they slumped to a disappointing 2-1 loss at home against relegation scrappers Fiorentina, Como will know the importance of claiming an immediate response here.
Nevertheless, suffering just a pair of domestic defeats since the middle of December, Cesc Fabregas’ men have their sights set on securing an iconic European adventure this season.
Extending on their Coppa Italia adventure earlier in the month as they edged past reigning Serie A champions Napoli, the former Arsenal skipper has seen his squad receive a string of plaudits from across the continent.
Likewise, collecting some heavyweight scalps on their travels, Como have gained a real reputation for their success on the road.
Including a dominant 3-0 victory against Lazio on January 19th, Fabregas’ side have won all of their last five consecutive showdowns outside of Lombardy and they will ask some real questions at the San Siro.
Tip: Both teams to score @ 8/11
19:45 Grimsby vs Walsall
While Grimsby might have eventually watched their FA Cup adventure come to an end over the weekend as they fell to a close-fought 1-0 loss against Premier League outfit Wolves, the Mariners should take plenty of positives away from a gritty performance on Sunday afternoon.
Nevertheless, last seen in League Two action securing a 1-0 victory against Accrington Stanley, David Artell’s side know that they can move within touching distance of the play-off places on Wednesday night.
Smelling a real opportunity in midweek, Grimsby are remarkably unbeaten in all of their previous nine consecutive League Two appearances (six wins, three draws) – a purple patch that stems back to December 20th.
Likewise, gaining a real reputation for their continued defensive steel, Artell’s play-off dreamers have astonishingly recorded a clean sheet in eight of those nine fourth-tier showdowns.
Despite their FA Cup heartbreak on Sunday, Grimsby will be confident of claiming an immediate response.
Although Walsall might have opened up the 2025/26 campaign with their sights set on claiming another play-off ticket this season, Mat Sadler’s side find themselves at the heart of what has become a worrying rut.
Last seen on February 7th falling to a 3-1 loss at hone against Barnet, Wednesday’s guests have come tumbling down the table and they look set for what should be another stern examination here.
Getting February underway with a routine 2-0 defeat away at Bristol Rovers, the Reds have recorded just a single victory from any of their previous 10 consecutive appearances across all competitions – a rut that stems back to Boxing Day.
Crashing out of the EFL Trophy on January 14th following an action-packed 4-2 loss away at Northampton, Walsall are pencilled in as a real underdog contender when they travel to Blundell Park in midweek.
Likewise, hit with a 1-0 defeat when they met Grimsby for their reverse League Two matchups back on August 19th, we are expecting a similar outcome on Wednesday night.
Tip: Grimsby win @ 19/20
20:00 Bodo/Glimt vs Inter Milan
Failing to win any of their opening five Champions League group stage showdowns, Bodo/Glimt were seeking a real miracle in the race to book a knockout stage ticket.
However, embarking on what was a sensational European romp on either side of opening the New Year, Kjetil Knutsen’s men have received a string of plaudits from across the continent.
Not set to get the 2026 Eliteserien campaign underway until next month, the Norwegian giants have their sole focused fixed on claiming another iconic European scalp on Wednesday night.
Signing off their group stage adventure with a famous 2-1 win away at Atletico Madrid, Bodo/Glimt registered seven points from their final three appearances.
With that remarkable European romp underlined by a 3-1 victory against Manchester City on January 20th, Knutsen’s side are more than capable of asking some serious questions here. It should also be highlighted, Wednesday’s hosts have notched 19 goals in just their last five showdowns in front of their own supporters.
Sat firmly in the driving seat to reclaim their domestic crown this season, Cristian Chivu has certainly made a real impact since arriving at the San Siro.
Signing off their respective Champions League group stage adventure with an eye-catching 2-0 victory away at German giants Borussia Dortmund, the Nerazzurri are enjoying what has become an extended purple patch.
Last seen over the weekend collecting another heavyweight scalp as they secured an action-packed 3-2 win against bitter domestic rivals Juventus, Inter Milan have won each of their previous six appearances across all competitions.
Likewise, gaining a reputation for their free-scoring performances in the final third, Wednesday’s guests have notched 20 goals on that six-match winning run.
Despite facing what could be a potential first-leg examination on foreign soil, Inter’s free-scoring attack are more than capable of making a major statement.
