A Romanian nightmare for Celtic, an explosive evening in Kiev and a spot-kick rescue for Ajax feature in a Champions League-focused Daily Spread Betting Roundup!

Celtic collapse against Cluj – UEFA Champions League Qualifying
A 1-1 draw in Romania wasn’t ideal. But it did give Celtic – a team who won their first 2 Premiership games 7-0 and 5-2 – an away goal heading into the home leg.

Things didn’t get off to a great start, with Ciprian Deac giving CFR Cluj the lead in the 27th minute. Celtic recovered in the 2nd half, going 2-1 up by the hour mark. An Abdel Omrani penalty was quickly cancelled out by the regularly-scoring Ryan Christie, setting the stage for a Scottish win with 10 minutes to go.

And then Omrani got a 2nd, giving Cluj the away goals advantage once again. Yet Neil Lennon’s men actually ended up losing by more traditional means, as George Tucudean put the final nail in the coffin deep into injury time.

While Tuesday was an absolute nightmare for the Bhoys, it was the kind of a spread betters dream. At multiple points during the game the Cluj to win binary spread fell to just 0-3, including in its dying moments. Tucudean’s late strike, then, could have netted you 97 times your initial stake.

Going into the fixture at a SMM spread of 12-16, Omrani’s tie-changing brace saw a serious make-up of 234 – in other words, 218 times your initial stake.

Even the Total Goal Minutes market swelled to 458 thanks to the frantic ending. Against an original spread of 112-122, that’s 336 times your opening stake.

Tastier than all that, however, was a Goals x Shirts make-up of 952, a figure helped by no. 49 James Forrest and no. 45 George Tucudean. Take away the initial spread of 210-228, and that’s a 724 multiplier to your stake.


Explosive evening in Kiev – UEFA Champions League Qualifying
Tuesday’s European drama went beyond Celtic Park. A 3-3 draw between Dynamo Kiev and Club Brugge, one that saw the Belgians go through 4-3 on aggregate, got increasingly aggressive, culminating in second yellows for both Mykyta Burda and Percy Tau.

Add on a further 2 bookings for Dynamo and 3 for Brugge, and the Cross Bookings make-up hit 4125. Even when factoring in the initial spread of 820-940, that’s a massive 3185 times your original stake.


Tadic saves Ajax’s blushes – UEFA Champions League Qualifying
Considering they were semi-finalists last season, Ajax made a real meal out of their 3rd qualifying round tie against PAOK. If it weren’t for a pair of penalties from Dusan Tadic they could have been in trouble, a 3-2 win in Amsterdam sending them through 5-4 on aggregate.

That meant that both the Tadic SMM and Penalty SMMs make-ups hit 213, with the latter the more attractive market given an opening spread of 24-29 to the former’s 62-72.
