Champions League 2020-21 betting tips and strategy
The Champions League group stage is made up of 32 teams across eight groups of four teams each. If you are new to Champions League betting then there are certainly some things unique to the tournament to learn.
Each team plays the other clubs in their group twice, home and away. Teams play a total of six games in the group with the top two teams in terms of points moving on to the round of 16.
It is the round of 16 where the tournament turns into a knockout competition. Teams play home and away in a two-game total goals series.
The group stage is far different than the knockout rounds. The big teams face off against smaller clubs in the group stage and some big scorelines can be experienced. You may see a number of top teams rack up the goals in these games. You will occasionally see some upsets, but for the most part, the big, more well-established club claims the wins.
