Attention turns back to the Champions League on Tuesday evening after a brief hiatus from Europe's premier club competition.

Odds Now's Brad Walker (@brad_TWalker) has you covered from a betting perspective with his 7/1 accumulator. 

Odds Now's Champions League accumulator selections

Selection #1 - Borussia Dortmund to beat Bologna

Hosts Bologna are unbeaten in eight of their last 10 home matches in all competitions, but are yet to record a win in their first Champions League campaign.

A failure to capitalise on favourable home fixtures has been a major factor, with Vincenzo Italiano's men have drawn one and lost two at Renato Dall'Ara Stadium so far.

An inability to create chances has also hindered the Italians. 

Across their six appearances in the competition, Bologna have averaged a mere 1.14 expected goals, from which they've managed to convert just one. 

Such a paltry performance in front of goal should be music to the ears of a Borussia Dortmund side who have endured their own struggles at the opposite end of the pitch.

A 2-0 loss at Frankfurt made it eight matches without a clean sheet for Nuri Sahin's side, who have now suffered three consecutive losses in the German Bundesliga. 

However, for all of their domestic troubles, Dortmund have actually impressed on the continental stage, having won four of their six Champions League matches so far.

Remarkably, Sahin's crop have also recorded three clean sheets during that time while maintaining a 100% scoring record. 

Concerns rightly remain over their defensive performances, but this Bologna side lack the teeth to hurt their German counterparts, who should be backed to come out on top in northern Italy.

Selection #2 - Juventus to beat Club Brugge

Draws have been the theme of the season for Juventus so far. 

Thirteen of the Old Lady's Serie A outings have finished level, leaving them in fifth position despite their unbeaten record. 

The story hasn't been too dissimilar in the Champions League, where Juventus have won three, drawn two and lost one of their six matches. 

Like Thiago Motta's men, Brugge also come into this one with an impressive unbeaten record. 

The Belgian champions are unbeaten in 18 matches and have won 11 of their last 12. 

Nicky Hayen's side have also recorded 11 consecutive victories on home turf, though the majority of these came against lower quality sides in domestic competition.

The increased calibre in opposition has regularly proved a step too far, as shown in their defeats to AC Milan and Dortmund this term. 

Ultimately, if Juventus have anything about them, the Italians should prove too much at the Jan Breydel Stadium.

Selection #3 - PSV to beat Red Star Belgrade

A 3-1 defeat at PEC Zwolle ended a four-match unbeaten run for Dutch champions PSV on Saturday. 

In fact, the result now makes it three consecutive away defeats for Peter Bosz' men, though Boeren still boast the second-best away record in the Dutch top-flight. 

Their Champions League away form is also deceiving. 

Despite failing to win on the road so far in the competition, PSV have faced high-tier opposition in Juventus and PSG so far. 

Compare with Champions League minnows Red Star Belgrade and the Dutch club should be backed to get back to winning ways on their travels. 

The Serbian Super Liga champions are yet to lose at home domestically but have lost six of their eight matches in Europe. 

Only one of their two wins came in the Champions League 'League Phase, where Red Star have conceding an alarming 2.63 goals on average so far. 

Add PSV's impressive attacking numbers (an average of 2.06 xG in the Champions League) and the away win looks the sensible pick here.
