UEFA Champions League Picks Today: Our UCL Best Bets and Predictions

I might raise a few eyebrows with my first UCL pick today, but +370 for Leverkusen to beat Bayern looks too high. The memory of their most recent meeting is still fresh, and while the German champs somehow didn’t score, they dominated Bayern Munich.

Sure, that was in Leverkusen, but the odds are just extraordinary high in this one. Bayern looked vulnerable in both games against Celtic, so the Bundedliga match against Bayer wasn’t a one-off.

If you want to be more conservative, you can opt for a handicap bet on Leverkusen here. I can’t look away from that juicy +370 for a straigh win, though, so this is my final pick.

I’m not a big fan on such high total lines for knockout games. Both PSG and Liverpool will be confident in their chances to progress but will also respect the opposition. That usually leads to quiet opening games, where both sides try to get a favorable result without big risks.

On top of that, Liverpool like to control the tempo in such games and will likely sit back and defend in a mid-block for large periods of the game.

Overall, it should be a close clash with limited goalscoring chances for a good chunk of the game, so getting -120 for under 3 goals is one of the best Champions League predictions for today.
