Most leagues will be taking a break this week to pave way for the International Break but some certain lower tiers will still be in action on Tuesday.
So what are the bets we are up for on this Day?
Tuesday Treble Tip
Ajax W v Chelsea W Prediction
Chelsea Women will travel to the Netherlands for Tuesday’s meeting with Ajax Women in the first leg of their Women’s Champions League last-16 tie. The hosts are making their first appearance in the knockout rounds, while the Blues are competing in the last eight for the third time in four seasons.
Ajax became the first Dutch side to appear in the Women’s Champions League group stage when they ousted Dinamo-BGU and Zurich in the qualifying rounds. They managed to successfully negotiate a tough group to become just the second Dutch side to reach the quarter-finals after Saestum previously achieved the feat in 2006-07. They will also carry significant momentum into Tuesday’s contest, having won each of their last eight competitive matches, including a 5-1 victory in Thursday’s KNVB Women’s Cup game against their own reserve side.
Emma Hayes has won every domestic trophy available during her successful 12-year tenure as Chelsea boss, but she has been unable to claim the Champions League crown during her stay in West London. They travel to the Netherlands in a positive mood after they cruised to a 3-1 win over Arsenal in Friday’s title clash, with a Lauren James effort and a Sjoeke Nusken brace proving enough to claim all three points and keep Chelsea above second-placed Manchester City on goal difference.
Verdict
Chelsea may be a stronger squad than their hosts on paper but they are up against a Ajax side that enjoyed significant success in their three home group matches earlier this season.

Benfica Women v Lyon Women
Record-breaking Women’s Champions League winners Lyon Femmes kick off their knockout journey on Tuesday as they travel to Portugal to face Benfica Women at the Estadio Municipal Jose Martins Viera for the first leg of their quarter-final tie.
When we talk about the most delightful surprise of this year’s Champions League group stage, Benfica Women definitely stand out, becoming the first Portuguese club in women’s football to reach the knockout rounds, and the journey was nothing short of spectacular, finishing second ahead of 4-time competition winners Eintracht Frankfurt Women.
Verdict
The draw for the knockout rounds certainly didn’t smile upon the Portuguese women’s powerhouses, as they drew none other than the ladies who have lifted the trophy more than any other side in the competition’s history, and what’s even more impressive, OL has already been crowned five times (out of a total of 8) before Benfica W played their first official match in 2018.
With a firm grip on the steering wheel of their domestic league, holding a comfortable seven-point lead over closest pursuers PSG Women, Les Fenottes are resolute and unwavering in their ambition to reclaim the UCL crown, all while keeping a watchful eye on not replicating last season’s misstep, where they were dumped out in the quarterfinals by Chelsea Women on penalties.
Bet on Lyon win
Bradford v Notts County
Both fighting to keep their faint hopes of reaching the playoffs alive, Bradford City and Notts County will lock horns in a League Two clash at the University of Bradford Stadium on Tuesday night. The Bantams had an afternoon to forget against league leaders Mansfield Town on Saturday, whilst the Magpies ground out a draw at Accrington Stanley on the same day.
Verdict
Bradford’s form at Valley Parade has been woeful in recent weeks, but the Bantams will be raring to right the wrongs of Saturday afternoon in this one. Notts County on the other hand battled to a point at Accrington on the weekend so this will be a close call; a draw would be a fair result
Bet on Draw

Verdict
Considering the statistical data and performances of both teams, the upcoming match between Magra and CR Belouizdad is likely to be a closely contested affair. Magra’s home advantage and ability to score early could give them an edge, but CR Belouizdad’s solid away form and defensive stability make them a tough opponent.
