There’s plenty of action to get stuck into on Wednesday night, with Champions League and Premier League football to look forward to.

In the English top-flight Newcastle United will look to continue their quest for a top-five finish when they host Crystal Palace.

The game from St James’ Park provides one selection for Wednesday’s tips, while the other two come from Champions League quarter-final second leg action, as Inter Milan host Bayern Munich and Arsenal make the trip to the Santiago Bernabeu to face Real Madrid.

Wednesday football betting tips

Bet of the day

Newcastle United to beat Crystal Palace to nil @ 2/1

Having breezed to a 4-1 victory over Manchester United on Sunday, Newcastle are again on home soil for the arrival of Crystal Palace on Wednesday night.

The Eagles looked like they were on course a major upset on Saturday when taking a 2-0 lead at Manchester City, only for Kevin De Bruyne to inspire a comeback from the Citizens, who went on to win 5-2.

Palace must dust themselves down from that second-half performance at the Etihad but they won’t have it easy at St James’ Park, which has not been a happy hunting ground for the Eagles.

Failing to score on any of their last four visits to Newcastle in all competitions, the Eagles to lose to nil gets the nod for Wednesday’s bet of the day.

Special of the day

Real Madrid v Arsenal: Bet Builder – Over 2.5 total goals and Kylian Mbappe to have 2+ shots on target @ 49/40

The Emirates witnessed one of the greatest nights in Arsenal’s European history as the Gunners thrashed Real Madrid 3-0 in the Champions League quarter-final first leg.

However, if there is any team that should not be written off going into the second leg, it’s Real.

Pulling off some of the biggest comebacks in the competition’s history, Carlo Ancelotti’s side will be throwing everything they have at the Gunners’ defence to try and get back into the tie.

As in the first leg in north London, goals can be expected in the Spanish capital and it would be little surprise for this match to witness three or more goals as Real look to battle their way back into this contest.

Kylian Mbappe has had more shots on target (27) than any other player in the Champions League this season and the France international to have two or more in Wednesday’s game appeals in this bet builder selection.

Long shot of the day

Inter Milan v Bayern Munich: Bet Builder – Inter Milan to win, both teams to score and both Lautaro Martinez and Harry Kane 1+ shots on target @ 23/4

Moving on to the action at the San Siro and Inter Milan look capable of finishing the job against Bayern Munich after the Nerazzurri secured a 2-1 win in Bavaria in their quarter-final first leg.

Inter are unbeaten in their last 10 games in all competitions on home turf, while they have won with both teams scoring in all of their last four outings at the San Siro.

That trend can be expected to continue, while main attacking threats Lautaro Martinez and Harry Kane to both get at least one shot on target catches the eye here.

Between Martinez and Kane they have had a total of 40 shots on target in the Champions League this season and both players to test the keeper, Inter to win and both teams scoring creates Wednesday’s long shot selection.
