Each preview on this page is built the same way: a predicted scoreline, a headline tip, five further picks across other markets and a three-leg bet builder. This page collects those previews for the Champions League, newest first, covering selected matches from the competition rather than a full round-by-round set.
The competition itself does not change shape from one visit to the next. It remains a European cup contested by clubs from across the continent, and the table and fixture list that move week to week live on their own pages rather than here. Follow the standings on the Champions League table and check what's next on the fixtures page.
Each preview is written by a named author, with the full list on the authors page, and is built around team news and a predicted line-up for both sides, plus where to watch the game. It goes up roughly 22 hours before kick-off and is amended if the team news changes before then. The same page stays live from that first preview through to full time, at which point it shows how the tips fared rather than moving to a new URL.
Grading is consistent across every tip on the site: a flat £10 stake, odds locked at whatever was printed when the preview went up, and misses left on the record rather than quietly dropped. Voided bets are excluded and a bet builder is scored as a single wager at the combined price of its three legs. For the running numbers behind all of that, see the tip record, and for the full explanation of the process, read how we predict.
