Barcelona, which is undefeated with three victories and a draw in four Champions League matches so far, is listed as the -130 favorite to defeat rival Milan, which is a +350 underdog with draw odds of +250. Barcelona currently sits atop the Group H table with ten points and a goal differential of +11, while unbeaten Milan ranks second on a record of two wins and two draws for eight points with a goal differential of +4. Both clubs have already qualified for the Round of 16.

These two teams met back on September 13 to open group stage play and battled to a 2-2 draw in Catalonia. Pato struck for Milan just 25 seconds into the match, before Pedro Rodriguez and David Villa scored to push Barcelona ahead in a game that featured dominating bursts of Lionel Messi trickery for the reigning champions. Thiago Silva headed home a corner in extra time to equalize for Milan, whetting the appetite for Wednesday’s (2:45 pm Eastern) rematch at San Siro.

Other matches that highlight Wednesday’s schedule include Chelsea (EVEN) at Bayer Leverkusen (+260) in Group E, Borussia Dortmund (+275) at Arsenal (-110) in Group F, and APOEL (+700) at Zenit St. Petersburg (-250) in Group G.

Among the marquee matchups on Tuesday’s schedule are Benfica (+650) at Manchester United (-220) in Group C, Manchester City (-110) at Napoli (+280) in Group A, as well as Inter Milan (+130) at Trabzonspor (+210) in Group B.
