Real Madrid's expensively-assembled squad will look to justify their remarkable price-tags tonight as the new Galacticos face Lyon in the Champions League. The four most expensive players in Madrid's side alone cost £200 million this summer but the Spanish Giants are facing yet another humiliating exit at this stage of the competition. Manuel Pelligrini's side have now gone top of La Liga but many believe the Chilean will need to deliver Europe's most prestigious title to keep his job.

Real Madrid tonight travel to Marseille to play their final Champions League group game. Madrid struggled to a 4-2 win against Almeria on Saturday, scoring three late goals, but are in the driving seat in their group. They are currently on 10 points, with AC Milan on eight and Marseille on seven.
UEFA Champions League betting – Real Madrid vs FC Zurich
Cristiano Ronaldo looks likely to return in Real Madrid's clash against FC Zurich tonight, after a lengthy absence due to injury. Madrid are currently joint with AC Milan at the top of Group C, with Marseille one point behind them.

International Friendly betting – Brazil vs England
England and Brazil both travel to Qatar to face each other in an international friendly building up to next year's World Cup in South Africa. The teams are rated very highly and are in the top three favourites for the tournament, both qualifying top of their groups. Brazil have failed to win either of their last two games, losing in Bolivia and most recently drawing 0-0 with Venezuela, but before that they won eleven matches in a row and will be glad for a chance to get back to winning ways. England will be eager to test themselves against such a good side, as there is always a feeling that they struggle against top quality opposition.
Spanish Copa del Rey betting – Real Madrid vs Alcorcon
Real Madrid will be eager for revenge tonight as they welcome third-tier Alcorcon to the Santiago Bernabeu in the Copa del Rey. Under normal circumstances Real Madrid fans worldwide would take for granted not only a win, but a very comfortable win, against such a side. However, these are troubling times for Los Merengues, who have won only two of their previous six games and two weeks ago lost 4-0 to the very minnows they face tonight. They will be boosted by the fact that they won their last game against Atletico, but their rivals are not the force they once were with only one win all season, and the narrow margin of victory can only be a concern for the famous men in white.
UEFA Champions League betting preview – Real Madrid vs AC Milan
The Champions League group stage tonight throws up a clash between nine-time European champions Real Madrid and seven-time winners AC Milan. The hosts go into the game in better form than their opponents, having won eight of their last nine games in all competitions, topping their group and sitting one point off first place in La Liga. Milan on the other hand have struggled domestically and in Europe, winning only four of their last ten games in all competitions and losing their last European outing 1-0 at home to lowly FC Zurich.
2010 World Cup Qualifier Betting – Brazil vs Venezuela
Five-time World Cup winners Brazil host Venezuela tonight in the qualifying stages of next year's tournament. Brazil have already qualified for the tournament and top their group but lost last weekend to 2-1 to Bolivia. Venezuela, while not mathematically eliminated, cannot realistically overcome a three-point and fifteen-goal gap between themselves and fifth-placed Uruguay and also lost 2-1 on Saturday.
