Spartak v Chelsea, Real Madrid v AC Milan headline Champions League week three odds

You couldn’t ask for a better kickoff to an action-packed two days of UEFA Champions League matches in week three than the Spartak Moskva-Chelsea match in Russia – and that Real Madrid-AC Milan clash is no snoozer, either.

Ladbrokes and bet365 Sportsbook have the slate of games well covered with proposition bets and odds.

Spartak Moskva (5/2 at bet365) v. Chelsea (6/5). The marquee matchup of the week pits two 2-0-0 sides after both beat up on Marseille and Zilina. The big story: Chelsea's Yuri Zhirkov returns to Russia as a professional for the first time since leaving CSKA; Zhirkov is 20/1 to score the first goal of the match at Ladbrokes online sportsbook.

Real Madrid (8/13) v. AC Milan (5/1). Milan trails two-win Real Madrid in Group G, but Massimiliano Allegri promises his men are “ready for Madrid” and has been running up wins in Italy. Nearly relentless attacking is expected from both teams; the over/under on goals scored at Ladbrokes is 2.5.

Inter Milan (4/6) figures to handle Tottenham Spur (4/1) in Italy, but a draw (getting 11/4 outright odds at bet365) would knot things nicely atop Group A. And Arsenal (8/13) figures to dispose of Donetsk (9/2).
