The final Champions League ‘league phase’ gameweek is here with every team playing on Wednesday evening. Here at FIRST, we’ve got four value plays with plenty on the line!
Leg 1 – Aston Villa to beat Celtic and over 1.5 goals @ 39/50 [Wednesday 8pm]
Despite losing in Monaco last week, Aston Villa are guaranteed at least a play-off place and a win against Celtic gives them a chance of automatic qualification for the last 16.

Villa have won two and drawn one of their three home games so far. Having hosted Bayern Munich, Bologna and Juventus this season, they now welcome a Celtic side who are winless on the road in the Champions League.
Villa Park will be rocking and the crowd will be fully behind Unai Emery's side as they look to book their place in the knockout stages.
We're siding with Villa and adding in over 1.5 goals. It’s landed in nine of Villa’s last 11 outings and Celtic are only one point behind Emery's men so they'll expect to cause a few problems.
Leg 2 – Inter to beat Monaco and over 1.5 goals @ 9/10 [Wednesday 8pm]
Italian champions Inter are fourth in the table and a win at home against Monaco will see them avoid the play-offs and confirm their last-16 spot.
Inter have been brilliant in the Champions League. They’ve won five and lost just one of their seven outings while conceding just once.
While Monaco are 10th in the table and just three points behind Inter, they'll struggle to contain the Nerazzurri, who have won eight of their last nine games.
Adding in over 1.5 goals makes sense as there have been two or more goals in Inter’s last seven home matches.
Leg 3 – Over 2.5 goals in Barcelona vs Atalanta @ 39/100 [Wednesday 8pm]
Barcelona already have a top-eight spot guaranteed after winning six of their opening seven fixtures and they host Atalanta who can confirm automatic qualification with a statement victory.
It's hard to predict what Barcelona team will be out there as stars could be rested so instead of picking a winner, over 2.5 goals is the play.
Barcelona hammered Valencia 7-1 in La Liga on Sunday and their Champions League games are averaging 5.2 goals per outing.
Atalanta, meanwhile, have scored 18 times in their seven games, so it's unlikely we’ll see a quiet clash!
Leg 4 – AC Milan to beat Dinamo Zagreb and over 1.5 goals @ 17/25 [Wednesday 8pm]
AC Milan travel to Croatia to face Dinamo Zagreb with Sergio Conceicao's side knowing a win will confirm their last-16 spot.
After losing their opening two games, they've rattled off five consecutive wins and they face a Dinamo Zagreb side who are 26th out of 36.
AC Milan will have too much quality and they'll be up for the clash so they can avoid the play-offs.
An away win and over 1.5 goals is our final pick as there have been two or more goals in Dinamo Zagreb's last six games, while it's also landed in seven of AC Milan's last eight outings.
