Borussia Dortmund vs. Atletico Madrid picks and predictions

Prediction

Borussia Dortmund 1, Atletico Madrid 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+260).

Dortmund will be at home, but against quality Champions League teams at home, it hasn’t dominated. They were 1-2-0 (2 draws) at home in the group stage and had fewer expected goals in 2 of the 3. They also has as many expected goals as PSG in their 2-0 Round of 16 home win.

Despite Atletico’s struggles on the road, they did have a strong enough performance to home to suggest they are the better side. They ended with 1.3 more expected goals. Atletico has also been better in league play.

Considering Madrid is on the road, the value here is on the draw. Back DRAW (+260).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+120).

Dortmund has gone Under this total in 3 of their last 4 Champions League fixtures. They actually have gone Under this total in 7 of 9 Champions League matches, including the 6 group stage battles. Dortmund has allowed multiple goals in those 9 games just 2 times and has 4 clean sheets.

Atletico didn’t have as competitive of a group stage, but they have gone Under in 2 of their last games, and they have had 1.3 or fewer expected goals in 5 of 9.

Considering the trends for both teams and how competitive this game should be played, back UNDER 2.5 (+120).

Barcelona vs. PSG odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Barcelona vs. PSG odds and lines, with Champions League expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Barcelona welcomes PSG to Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys for the 2nd leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal battle. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Barcelona vs. PSG odds, and make our best Champions League bets, picks and predictions.

Barcelona won the 1st leg 3-2 at PSG  as F Raphinha led the way with 2 goals. PSG did end with 3 more shots and 59% of the possession, but still will face an uphill battle Tuesday.

PSG did not play over the weekend and sits atop the Ligue 1, the top French league. It is 18-9-1 in league play and has a +41 goal differential. PSG beat Real Sociedad a combined 4-1 in the Round of 16 after finishing 2nd in Group F.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Barcelona vs. PSG picks and predictions

Prediction

Barcelona 2, PSG 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET BARCELONA (+115).

Barcelona has been on fire as of late, winning 6 in a row throughout all competitions. They have a few quality wins mixed in there, taking down Atletico Madrid, another team in the Champions League, on the road 3-0. Barcelona won every group stage game at home, totaling 9 goals and allowing 2. They took down Napoli 3-1 at home as well.

PSG is a quality side, but they don’t have the same level of competition in France and struggled in the group stage, losing 2 and drawing 2. While they did have more shots in the 1st leg, they also had fewer shots on frame, struggling to convert chances. PSG lost 2 of 3 group stage road games.

Put it all together and take BARCELONA (+115).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 3.5 (-138).

PSG has played 9 group stage games this season and has gone Under this total in 7 of them. They have 1.5 or fewer expected goals in 6 of the 9 as well, while allowing under 2.0 expected goals in all 9.

Barcelona has an electric offense, but they have also had over 2.0 expected goals in just 3 of 9 games, many of which were against backlines weaker than PSG’s. They allowed north of 1.3 expected goals in just 1 of the 9 games as well.

Both teams should perform better defensively. Take UNDER 3.5 (-138).

PSG vs. Barcelona picks and predictions

Prediction

PSG 3, Barcelona 2

Moneyline (ML)

LEAN PSG (-105).

PSG won both at home and on the road against Real Sociedad in the Round of 16, having at least 0.5 more expected goals in both matches. They have won 4 of their last 5 games throughout all competitions and 10 of their last 14. PSG are also far younger and should be more energized late in the season. Their top 7 players in terms of minutes are all under 29 years old.

Barcelona have yet to lose on the road in league play but have drawn 6 of 14 away matches. They have lost 3 of their last 16 matches and had fewer expected goals in their lone Round of 16 road match. At this value, take the home side, and back PSG (-105).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (-146).

The offenses are just too potent to bet against here. Barcelona have tallied at least 3 goals in 2 of their last 3 games and in 3 of their last 6. They have had at least 1.5 expected goals in 4 straight games. Barcelona went over this total in 4 of 6 group stage games and in 1 of 2 Round of 16 games.

PSG are averaging 2.25 goals per game in league play and tallied 4 in the 2 games against Real Sociedad. They have scored at least 2 goals in 5 of their last 7 games. In 3 of their last 4 league games, PSG have also allowed at least 1.4 expected goals.

Considering those trends and the starpower that will be on display, back OVER 2.5 (-146).

Real Madrid welcome Man City to Santiago Bernabeu Tuesday. Kickoff in the 1st of 2 legs in the quarterfinal of the UEFA Champions League is set for 3 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Real Madrid vs. Man City odds, and make our best Champions League bets, picks and predictions.

Real Madrid drew RB Leipzig of the Bundesliga in the Round of 16, beating them 1-0 on the road Feb. 13 and then 1-1 at home March 6. Madrid ended the Group Stage atop Group C and were 1 of 2 teams (Man City the other) to win all 6 games. They ended with a +9 goal differential, allowing just 7. Real Madrid sit atop the La Liga table.

Man City, who have played several high-profile games against the likes of Liverpool, Newcastle and Arsenal over the last month, beat Copenhagen 3-1 both on the road and at home in the Round of 16. City ended the group stage with 18 goals for and 7 against. They sit 3rd in the English Premier League, down just 1 point from league-leading Arsenal.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Real Madrid vs. Man City picks and predictions

Prediction

Man City 1, Real Madrid 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+240).

Real Madrid have been winning with ease as of late, but they haven’t played the level of competition that City have. Madrid have drawn 2 of their last 5 games throughout all competitions, and they were within 0.2 expected goals of RB Leipzig in both matches.

City have drawn 2 of their last 5 games as well. Madrid are a quality side, and in City’s last 2 games against top-tier opponents, Liverpool and Arsenal, they drew. In the Champions League semifinal, Real and City drew 1-1 in Spain a season ago.

Considering those trends, back DRAW (+240).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+108).

For starters, in that game last season in this scenario, both teams combined for 1.2 expected goals. That said, the Madrid defense is a gritty, quick group and allowed 7 goals through 6 Group Stage games. Madrid have allowed just 20 goals in 30 La Liga games as well.

As for City, they have allowed multiple goals in just 1 of their last 7 games. Liverpool and Arsenal, 2 dynamic attacks that have played City in the last month, scored a combined 1 goal on them.

Both teams have strong attacks as well, but in the 1st leg, there is typically more of a feel-out period which should aid the Under as teams know they have a 2nd chance at each other.

Take UNDER 2.5 (+108).

Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Arsenal vs. Bayern Munich odds, and make our best Champions League bets, picks and predictions.

Arsenal beat Porto in penalty kicks after a 1-1 aggregate through the 2 legs in the Round of 16. They lost 1-0 on the road and won 1-0 at home. Arsenal finished atop Group B with 4 wins, 1 draw and a loss. They had a +12 goal differential. Arsenal sit atop the English Premier League with 71 points through 31 games and a +51 goal differential.

Bayern Munich, who added English star F Harry Kane this season, beat Lazio 3-0 at home and lost 1-0 on the road in the Round of 16. They won Group A with a +6 goal differential, ending the 6 games with 5 wins and a draw. Bayern have uncharacteristically struggled in league play and sit 2nd through 28 games, 16 points behind Bayer Leverkusen.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Arsenal vs. Bayern Munich picks and predictions

Prediction

Arsenal 2, Bayern Munich 0

Moneyline (ML)

BET ARSENAL (-140).

It is hard to believe in Bayern Munich right now. Bayern were up 2-0 Saturday and lost to Heidenheim on the road, and they lost at home to Dortmund the weekend prior. Couple that with a Round of 16 road loss to Lazio, and they are rightful underdogs. Bayern also have far more injuries with F Leroy Sane and GK Manuel Neuer expected to be sidelined. The former leads the team in assists with 11.

Arsenal is 12-2-1 (2 draws) at home this season, and they are averaging 2.42 goals per game in EPL competition. They have home wins over Man City, Liverpool, and Man U. Expect the home side to come out on top, as it has consistently this season.

Back ARSENAL (-140).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN UNDER  2.5 (+118).

Arsenal’s defense is clicking, and the absence of Sane should loom large. Arsenal have 4 straight clean sheets throughout all competitions and haven’t allowed a goal since March 9. They went Under in both Round of 16 games.

Bayern lost 1-0 on the road in the Round of 16, and they allowed more than 1 goal in just 1 of 6 Group Stage games. They have allowed just 36 goals in 28 Bundesliga matches.

Both teams have strong defenses, so back UNDER 2.5 (+118).

Young Boys vs. Man City picks and predictions

Prediction

Man City 3, Young Boys 1

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

Man City is a far superior side, and they should come out on top with relative ease, as they did on the road against RB Leipzig and at home against Red Star.

However, at -550, there’s no value in betting the favorite to win outright. Considering the Young Boys have struggled against other group stage opponents, it is unlikely they pull off the upset and not worth the lofty return.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (+110).

Man City has scored 3 goals in both group stage matches thus far, and they have a combined 6.3 expected goals in those matches. They also conceded a goal in game too. Throughout all competitions, City has had 1 clean sheet in their last 10 games.

Young Boys have a competent offense, and at home, they should be able to produce a goal. Against weaker competition, they have given up 5 Champions League goals while scoring in both games.

Expect City to get several with ease as they have and the Young Boys to get on the board as well. Take OVER 3.5 (+110).

Newcastle United vs. Borussia Dortmund picks and predictions

Prediction

Newcastle United 1, Borussia Dortmund 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+310).

Newcastle throttled PSG at home, but United had the exact same amount of expected goals.

Against Milan, they were on the road and had 1.6 fewer expected goals despite earning a draw. While Newcastle has been good in EPL action at home, it did lose to Liverpool, the best opponent it has welcomed to St. James’ Park so far this season.

Similarly, Dortmund drew Milan, and they have yet to lose on the road in league play. They have a talented roster and should be ample to play a close game with Newcastle.

Back DRAW (+310).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+120).

Dortmund has gone Under this total in both Champions League matches while Newcastle is 1-1 O/U. Dortmund has scored 2 or more goals in 5 matches throughout 11 competitions this season.

Newcastle has scored 2 or more in 6 of 12. Both teams have strong defense as well. United has had a clean sheet in 6 of their last 8 games. Given the strong defenses and the inconsistent offenses, take UNDER 2.5 (+120).

Sevilla vs. Arsenal picks and predictions

Prediction

Arsenal 2, Sevilla 2

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+280).

Sevilla hasn’t been great in La Liga play this season, but it did draw Real Madrid 1-1 and had just 0.1 fewer expected goals last time out. It lost 1-0 to Barcelona on the road late in Sept. as well.

This team has talent and is composed. It has drawn both group stage games, 1 which was on the road too. Arsenal is the favorite here, but it has 2 draws in its last 6 matches through all competitions and did lose to Lens on the road.

Put it all together and the home side should be able to get some type of result. Lean DRAW (+280).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (-135).

The total in the 4 combined group stage matches between these 2 clubs has gone Over in 3 of 4 games. In 2 of those 4, they have gone Over even 3.5 goals. Arsenal has played 13 games throughout all competitions this season and has scored in every one, scoring multiple goals in 7.

Sevilla averages 1.56 goals per game in league play and allows 1.44, so defense isn’t its strength either. It has scored 3 goals in 2 group stage games and has allowed 2. Neither defense is terrific, and the talented Arsenal attack should be able to shine.

Take OVER 2.5 (-135).
