18:30 Rubin Kazan - Panathinaikos
Tuesday's early kick-off is unlikely to be a goal-fest if previous form is to be factored into play. A turgid draw was shared out between the sides a fortnight ago and between Rubin and Panathinaikos a grand total of two goals have been scored. Under 1.5 is 2.90 (Sportingbet) Rubin are strong favourites and look a good price to win to nil
20:45 Werder Bremen - Twente
Games between these two are becoming familiar after meeting in the Europa League last season. Neither have yet to record a win and need to do so to close the gap on Spurs and Inter in Group A. An open game looks in prospect, Bremen are unbeaten in eight at home in European games and border crossing Twente tend to score on the road as they have done in their last five competitive games.
Tip : Both teams to score (1.57) - (Sportingbet)
20:45 Benfica - Lyon
If the Eagles are ever going to step up to the Champions League plate then it has to be now. Beaten by Schalke and Lyon in their last two games the Portuguese champions need a victory to have a prayer of reaching the knock-out stages. Lyon have maximum points and it wouldn't be a major surprise if under pressure coach Claude Puel rests some of his key men ahead of the important league match this weekend against Rennes. No French club has ever won in the Estadio da Luz and it's doubtful Les Gones will break that habit.
Tip : Benfica to beat (2.14) - (Pinnacle Sports)
