Matchday 2 of the Champions League takes place across Tuesday and Wednesday this week, with 18 matches split evenly over the two days.

Tuesday - Atalanta vs Club Brugge (5.45pm)

Club Brugge thrashed Monaco 4-1 in matchday 1 and they will be fancying more goals when they head to Atalanta, who were defeated 4-0 in their League Phase opener by PSG.

The Belgian outfit, who beat La Dea 5-2 on aggregate in the knockout phase play-off round last season, were involved in a thrilling 5-5 draw last midweek against Westerlo and there should be plenty of goals when these two meet in Bergamo.

Score prediction: Atalanta 2-2 Club Brugge

Tuesday - Kairat Almaty vs Real Madrid (5.45pm)

Real Madrid's perfect start to the season was ended by Atletico Madrid at the weekend, as Xabi Alonso's side went down 5-2, but Los Blancos have a real opportunity to bounce back against a Kairat side who were outclassed 4-1 by Sporting in their opening European fixture.

Score prediction: Kairat 0-4 Real Madrid

Tuesday - Atletico Madrid vs Eintracht Frankfurt (8pm)

Three of Atletico's last four matches have produced five goals or more and another high-scoring match is in store when they host Eintracht Frankfurt, who have seen 41 strikes in their seven fixtures this season.

Score prediction: Chelsea 1-2 Benfica

Tuesday - Inter vs Slavia Prague (8pm)

Inter head into Tuesday's visit of Slavia Prague on a three-game winning streak, which started with a 2-0 success over Ajax in the Champions League, and the Italian outfit should have enough to register another victory at home.

Score prediction: Inter 2-0 Slavia Prague

Tuesday - Bodo/Glimt vs Tottenham (8pm)

Bodo/Glimt, unbeaten in their last six home matches in all competitions, have a chance for revenge when they host Tottenham, who beat the Norwegian outfit in last season's Europa League semi-finals.

Spurs have impressed on the road this term, winning two and drawing one of their three assignments, and a point would not be a bad result for Thomas Frank's side after they defeated Villarreal on Matchday 1.

Score prediction: Bodo/Glimt 1-1 Tottenham

Tuesday - Galatasaray vs Liverpool (8pm)

Galatasaray have won all three home games this season and they may be able to get something from this visit of Liverpool, who were defeated 2-1 at Crystal Palace on Saturday and have looked fragile at the back.

Score prediction: Galatasaray 1-1 Liverpool

Tuesday - Marseille vs Ajax (8pm)

Ajax are yet to win away from home this season, recording three score draws, and they could be in for further disappointment on their travels when they face a Marseille side who have won all three fixtures at the Stade Velodrome this term.

Score prediction: Marseille 3-1 Ajax

Tuesday - Pafos vs Bayern Munich (8pm)

Bayern Munich overcame Chelsea 3-1 in their Champions League opener and they will be confident of extending their perfect away record this season to five wins when facing Cyprus minnows Pafos.

Score prediction: Pafos 0-3 Bayern Munich

Wednesday - Qarabag vs Copenhagen (5.45pm)

Unbeaten in five matches, Qarabag will be eager to continue their fine form when they host a Copenhagen side who have just one win in their last four away Champions League fixtures.

Wednesday - Union Saint-Gilloise vs Newcastle United (5.45pm)

Score prediction: Union Saint-Gilloise 2-0 Newcastle United

Wednesday - Arsenal vs Olympiacos (8pm)

Arsenal have suffered just one defeat in all competitions this season but they will be wary of hosting an Olympiacos side who have won each of their last three trips to the Emirates.

Score prediction: Arsenal 2-1 Olympiacos

Wednesday - Monaco vs Manchester City (8pm)

Monaco's home form has been strong this season, recording three wins from three, but they may struggle to extend that perfect run when hosting a Manchester City team who have won four of their last five matches.

Score prediction: Monaco 1-3 Manchester City

Wednesday - Bayer Leverkusen vs PSV (8pm)
