Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference."Never fall into the trap of trying to back the winner" is the value-seeking punter's mantra. In nominating Leicester to beat Atletico Madrid in Spain on Tuesday, most might say said trap is being circumnavigated with certifiable ease. However Leicester, who enter the Madrid cauldron fresh the from their comprehensive 3-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur, are 7-1 (Coral and William Hill) while the Spanish side, who went down 1-0 at home to Athletic Bilbao are 1-3 (Coral).
Aston Villa are also underdogs but, after dispatching Barnsley 3-0 away, they also make appeal at 3-1 (William Hill) to beat Bordeaux away.
Celtic, who beat Motherwell 3-2 away, look a fair bet at 9-4 (Ladbrokes) to beat Liverpool, unimpressive in their 2-1 win at home to Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday.
PAOK Salonika (11-4 Ladbrokes), are value to beat an Arsenal side who will be without Dennis Bergkamp and have much to prove in Europe, while Strasbourg (5-4 William Hill) may be too strong for Rangers, held 3-3 by Aberdeen.
On Wednesday, Manchester United (4-5 William Hill) can quell Kosice, but Newcastle, dismal 3-1 losers at home to Wimbledon, will struggle against Barcelona (5-4 Ladbrokes, who beat Deportivo 2-1.
