Liverpool vs. Real Madrid picks and predictions

Prediction

Real Madrid 1, Liverpool 1

Moneyline (ML)

LEAN DRAW (+260).

Liverpool has drawn 2 of their last 3 home games and 3 of their last 6. They haven’t played up to standard with those draws coming against Derby County, Wolves and Chelsea.

While Benzema may be out, Madrid has received production from F Federico Valverde, who has 7 goals. The road side has also been solid in this situation, posting 9 wins in 12 away matches. They were 1-1-1 on the road in Champions League Group Stage matches.

These teams are close on paper and familiar with each other. Picking a winner is difficult, and the DRAW (+260) has value.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+115).

All 4 of the Round of 16 games played so far has gone Under 2.5 goals with 3 of them ending 1-0. While both teams have dynamic attacks, the defenses will be just as good. D Virgil van Djik, D Jordi Alaba and D Daniel Carvajal are some of the best in the world at their position.

Real has gone Under this total in their last 3 road games while Liverpool has gone Under in 2 straight road matches. Considering the Round of 16 trends mixed with different attacking styles, back the UNDER 2.5 (+115).

Borussia Dortmund vs. Chelsea picks and predictions

Prediction

Chelsea 1, Borussia Dortmund 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+245).

Chelsea has an ultra-deep roster, but it will be down players like F Christian Pulisic and F N’Golo Kante. F Raheem Sterling is likely to miss the game as well. However, Moukoko being out could be an even bigger deal than Chelsea being down multiple 1st-team players.

Dortmund played to the level of their competition in the group stage, having posted 3 draws in 6 games. They drew both Manchester City and FC Copenhagen. Chelsea drew just once in their group stage, but in league play, they have 7 draws in 22 matches, 4 of those coming on the road.

With these teams being unfamiliar with each other, it is likely opportunities are limited. Combine that with key pieces being out and a recent history of tying, and back the DRAW (+245).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (-110).

Chelsea has gone Under this in 10 of their last 12 games through all competitions. They have drawn 3 straight league games as well. Chelsea has been held scoreless in 4 of their last 7 games. They have allowed 1 or fewer expected goals in 3 of their last 5 games.

Dortmund went Under this total in their last 3 Champions League matches. They have gone Under in 2 of their last 4 games throughout all competitions and will be without a key goalscorer as well.

Back the UNDER 2.5 (-110).

Paris Saint-Germain vs. Bayern Munich picks and predictions

Prediction

PSG 2, Bayern Munich 1

Moneyline (ML)

LEAN PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN (+145).

Beating Bayern Munich is easier said than done, but PSG has the talent do to just that. I would wait to see if Mbappe and F Lionel Messi will start but both are available.

PSG has it all, from arguably 3 of the best strikers in the world to quality defenders like D Marquinhos and D Achraf Hakimi. PSG has won 9 of 11 home matches in league play this season.

Bayern will be down key names, like GK Manuel Neuer, F Sadio Mane and D Lucas Hernandez. Given the absence of key pieces for Bayern and the strength at home for PSG, back PSG (+145).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 3.5 (-160).

With F Thomas Muller doubtful and the unknown regarding Mbappe and Messi, both of which have battled injuries as of late, the opportunities may not be converted. PSG has gone Under this total in 5 of their last 8 matches and in 2 of their last 3.

Bayern has gone Under this total in 5 of their last 7. Despite electric offensive players, both teams allowed a combined 9 goals in 12 group stage matches. Against each other, expect limited opportunities. Back the UNDER 3.5 (-160).

AC Milan vs. Tottenham Hotspur picks and predictions

Prediction

AC Milan 1, Tottenham 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+225).

Tottenham hasn’t been as good as expected this season, and they have drawn 4 of 12 road matches. They also drew 2 of 6 group stage games. AC Milan, on the other hand, drew once in the group stage.

Both teams severely limited opponents as each allowed 1.2 or fewer goals per game in the group stage. Tottenham has been within .5 expected goals of their opponent in 4 of their last 5 games, having played both Man City and Leicester City.

Milan has also played teams closely as of late, having 3 of their last 5 games end within .6 expected goals. Both teams have played up to and down to their competition.

Considering that, back the DRAW (+225) for a small unit.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (-140).

AC Milan averaged 2 goals per game in the group stage games, but they haven’t had similar luck as of late, being held scoreless in 4 of their last 7 games. Milan’s main success came defensively, having allowed 7 goals in 6 games.

Tottenham, while having elite strikers like Kane, scored just 8 goals through the 6 matches. They have scored 1 or fewer goals in 5 of their last 7 games throughout all competitions. Top teams also seem to have difficulty breaking each other down.

Considering how both teams have performed offensively lately, back the UNDER 2.5 (-140).
