Our daily columnist and pundit S.P. Read Esq. looks ahead to the 7.45pm kick off in the Champions League on Wednesday between BORUSSIA MONCHENGLADBACH v MAN CITY and finds the best opportunities available on Star Spreads, the home of sports spread betting.

It was a bleak old night for the English clubs last night with a rude awakening in the Champions League for both Arsenal and Chelsea.

Mixed news with my Star Spreads trades. Had a nice result on the sell of the red card special and avoided a red card in all eight matches. But the ‘at least 3 English wins’ went down the drain with the Chelsea and Arsenal losses.

Got a small profit on the sell of the first Arsenal goal too – so it was overall a winning night !!!!

The two Manchester sides get their chance on the European stage tonight and they are both a shade of odds on to win.

Man U host Wolfsburg but the game that interests me most is in Germany.

Man City are at a crucial stage of their season. It was only a short couple of weeks ago that the Premier League was considered done and dusted in some quarters, yet the table has a whole new look to it now with Man U now a point clear of their rivals.

I’m not quite sure what the precise term for the opposite of ‘momentum’ is – but Man City have certainly hit that zone with three defeats from their last four games at the hands of Juventus in the Group D Champions League opener and Premier League defeats to West Ham and Tottenham at the weekend when they were brushed aside 4-1.

So they are hardly heading into this match with confidence. Even under normal circumstances they suffer from the jitters in the Champions League and have lost seven of their last 11 games.

This would certainly be a good time for City to find some form again and they really should be beating Monchengladbach who have failed to keep a clean sheet in nine matches this season which is the primary cause of their disappointing start to the Bundesliga season with just six points from seven games.

City have their fair share of injury problems. Their captain Vincent Kompany is out with a calf problem and joins fellow defender Gael Clichy, midfielders Fabian Delph, Eliaquim Mangala, Samir Nasri and forward Wilfried Bony on the sidelines.

I think there will be plenty of goals and am a buyer of total goals at 3.05 with Star Spreads.
