This page collects the previews written for selected matches across the Champions League, each one built around a predicted scoreline, a headline tip and a run of further markets rather than a bare list of fixtures.
The group phase, the knockout rounds, the final: however far a given season has got, the table and fixtures pages carry the positions and dates that shift every round, so they sit apart from this one.
A preview is built around a headline tip and five further picks across other markets, a three-leg bet builder, team news for both sides, a predicted line-up each, and where to watch. It's prepared roughly 22 hours out from kick-off and updated if team news changes before the whistle, and the same page then carries the result once the game is done. Each preview carries a byline, and the full list of writers is on the authors page.
Grading is flat and fixed: a stake per tip, odds locked at whatever was printed when the preview went up, and a miss stays on the record rather than being quietly dropped. A bet builder is graded as a single bet at the combined price of its three legs. None of those numbers belong here since they move with every match played, so for the running figures see the tip record, and for the grading rules in full, how we predict.
