Whether it's Premier League, Champions League, Championship, Europa League or even Bundesliga football that floats your boat, there's plenty of everything this week.

Here are a few pointers as to where to look for value in the pick of the midweek action...

Tuesday 16th February - Champions League

AC Milan v Manchester United
(live on Sky Sports 2, kick-off 7.45pm)

Manchester United have not only lost their last four trips to the San Siro to face AC Milan, they've failed to score in any of them, so the 3.1 offered on the hosts keeping a clean sheet is well worth looking at,.

Especially as last season's runners-up would probably consider a goalless draw (8.8) a great result to take back to Old Trafford.

Wednesday 17th February - Champions League

FC Porto v Arsenal (
live on ITV1, kick-off 7.45pm)

Arsenal have their work cut out against Porto whose only home losses in the last 15 months have come against English sides Manchester United and Chelsea.

Both of those matches finished 1-0 to the visitors (priced at 9.4 this time) but the Gunners may struggle to do the same, having failed to win any of their away knockout games last season and none of their last three in all competitions.

Thursday 18th February - Europa League

Fulham v Shakhtar Donetsk
(live on ITV4, kick-off 8.05pm)

Can the Cottagers pull off a memorable win against the holders at 2.62?

The Ukrainian side lost two of their last three away games before Christmas - they haven't played since - while Fulham have won four and drawn one of their five European home ties and have been beaten just once in 15 outings at Craven Cottage.

Liverpool are just 1.36 to beat Unirea Urziceni on the same night.

Friday 19th February - German Bundesliga

Hoffenheim v Borussia Monchengladbach (live on ESPN, kick-off 7.30pm)
Hoffe's record against bottom-half opposition this season has been impressive - the fourth best in the Bundesliga in fact - but they're enduring another post-Christmas slump, winning just one of their last eight.

Gladbach aren't too hot away from home though so the 3.8 available on the draw looks fairly tempting.
