If you're looking for three selections to make a little coin from the final set of the Champions League, Michael Lintorn is your man.

Back Lyon to win at Dinamo Zagreb @ [2.02]
Lyon need to not just win but do so decisively to have a hope of qualifying, so they won't be messing around in Croatia. Their odds are surprisingly large given that in addition to currently being pointless, Dinamo Zagreb have the worst defensive record in this season's competition, leaking an average of three goals a match. Lyon on the other hand have only conceded against Real Madrid in Europe.

Back under 3.5 goals in Benfica v Otelul Gatati @ [1.66]
They haven't got a point to show for their efforts, however Otelul Galati's Champions League debut hasn't been as disastrous as that suggests. The Romania champions, despite having a rough time of it back home, haven't lost by more than two goals on the continent. Their one game that exceeded the 3.5 goal barrier was the last one against FC Basel in which they scored two late consolations.

Lay Lille to be leading Trabzonspor at half-time @ [2.06]
Lille are strong favourites to secure a spot in the next round with victory over Trabzonspor after stringing together three straight wins in all competitions. They are far from certain to lead at the interval though, having done so in only one of their last seven fixtures, and two in 11 if you look back over a longer period. Trabzonspor meanwhile have trailed at the break in just one of their last seven.
