Back this 7/1 UEFA Champions League acca

The Champions League is back this week as the Europe's top sides gather to assert their dominance across the continent. 

Odds Now's Brad Walker has put together a tidy 7/1 accumulator ahead of the return of club football's premier competition. 

The weekend brought more winnings for us here at Odds Now, though an Andreas Pereira missed penalty did see us agonisingly miss out on a mega 13/1 treble in Fulham's 3-1 defeat to Aston Villa. 

Nevertheless, we dust ourselves and go again ahead of the European action in mid-week. 

The return of Champions League football also brings some enticing encounters, including a repeat of last year's final as Real Madrid host Borussia Dortmund at the Santiago Bernabeu. 

Brad Walker's Champions League selections for matchweek three

Selection #1 - Liverpool to beat RB Leipzig (10/11)

Both of these sides have enjoyed near-perfect starts to their league campaigns and find themselves in-and-around the summit of their respective domestic tables. 

Arne Slot has hit the ground running since taking over at Anfield and saw his Liverpool side record a hard-earned 2-1 victory over Chelsea on Sunday evening. 

Meanwhile, Leipzig boss Marco Rose is yet to see his men taste defeat in the German Bundesliga after winning five and drawing two of their opening seven matches - a run which has left them level on points with leaders Bayern Munich.

The Germans haven't been quite as impressive on the continental stage, though. 

Both of their opening Champions League matches have ended in defeat, albeit to strong opposition in Juventus and Atletico Madrid. 

They prepare to welcome a Liverpool side who haven't just won their first two matches in the competition, but have also recorded victories in all five of their away outings in all competitions this term. 

Given all of the above, it's hard to bet against Slot's men continuing their superb form at the Red Bull Arena.

Selection #2 - Juventus to beat Stuttgart (10/11)

Another side who are yet to taste defeat on the domestic front is Italian giants Juventus

'The Old Lady' have won four and drawn four of their opening Serie A fixtures - hardly title-winning form but a run which typifies the stubborn, resolute nature of Thiago Motta's men.

Juventus also boast a perfect record in the Champions League after winning their opening two games in the competition against PSV and the aforementioned RB Leipzig. 

Standing between them and three wins from three is a struggling Stuttgart who, despite recording their highest Bundesliga finish in 17 years last season, have struggled to replicate such successes this time around. 

Key departures haven't helped the German club's cause, but Sebastian Hoeneß's side still remain without a win in their last four outings in all competitions. 

Stuttgart have also taken just one point from their opening two Champions League outings, though they did travel to current holders Real Madrid on matchday one. 

Nevertheless, the respective form of both mean the home win remains the sensible pick for this one.

Selection #3 - Barcelona to beat Bayern Munich (11/8)

Our final selection centres on a meeting of two European juggernauts with a steeped history in this competition. 

Both Barcelona and Bayern Munich also sit atop of their domestic leagues heading into the encounter at the Camp Nou. 

The hosts secured their ninth win in 10 La Liga outings with a 5-1 battering of Sevilla at the weekend, leaving them three points clear of bitter rivals Real Madrid in second-place. 

Their 2-1 defeat to AS Monaco on matchday one of this competition will have disappointed manager Hansi Flick, but the Catalans were hampered by the sending off of centre-back Eric Garcia in the 10th minute. 

'Barca' then rebounded with a 5-0 thumping of Swiss outfit Young Boys two weeks later - a result which forms part of a now eight-match unbeaten run on home turf. 

Meanwhile, Vincent Kompany has also impressed during the Belgian's early stages in charge of the German giants.

The Bavarians remain top of the Bundesliga following a 4-0 victory at Stuttgart on Saturday - a game which also saw talisman Harry Kane net his third hat-trick of the season so far.

The Englishman was unable to prevent his side coming up short in a 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa earlier this month, though. 

And while Kompany has slotted in comfortably at the Allianz Arena, his inferior experience to Barcelona manager Flick leans me in the direction of a home victory on Wednesday evening.
