The Young Boys can hang with squads like Atalanta. Since the Boys got the victory over the Red Devils, they don’t have to take this. Expect the Young Boys to play for a draw.
Soccer Pick: Draw
Sevilla FC +155 vs Vfl Wolfsburg +170
- When: Wednesday, Sep. 29
Wolfsburg had been rocking it in the Bundesliga. But in their last match versus Hoffenheim, Wolfsburg failed. The home team in this lost 3-1. Wolfsburg should bounce back with a decent performance.
But the German League team faces a Sevilla squad that’s gotten hot. Sevilla has won 2 straight, besting Valencia 3-1 and Espanyol 2-0. The slight favorite will carry momentum into this match, which should to a victory in regulation.
Soccer Pick: Sevilla
FC Dynamo Kiev +2 ½ (+108) vs Bayern Munich -2 ½ (-142)
- When: Wednesday, Sep. 29
On Sep. 14, Bayern showed they’ve got what it takes to win the Champions League. Munich absolutely dominated Barcelona. Granted, Barca played a UCL match for the first time since Messi skipped to Paris.
But Bayern beat Barcelona 3-0. Even without Messi, teams like Barca aren’t supposed to lose by 3 goals. If Bayern found it easy to dominate Barcelona, what do you think they’re going to do to Dynamo Kiev in front of their fans? Bayern Munich rolls.
Soccer Pick: Bayern Munich
Chelsea -113 vs Juventus +290
- When: Wednesday, Sep. 29
After struggling in their first couple of games without Ronaldo, Juventus has since gone on a roll. Juvy has won 3-of-4 with a draw.
On Wednesday, though, the Serie A squad faces one of the best teams on the planet. Chelsea heads into the match after losing a battle against rival Man City at Stamford Bridge. The Blues will be on their toes for this one. Chelsea gets the win.
Soccer Pick: Chelsea
FC Barcelona +146 vs Benfica Lisbon +170
- When: Wednesday, Sep. 29
Barcelona must travel to Lisbon to take on the Portuguese Liga’s top team, Benfica. Why, exactly, is Barca favored?
Benfica shows 4 victories and a draw in their last 5. Barcelona has a couple of wins in their last 5 to go along with a loss and 2 draws. Even if you believe La Liga’s Primera Division is better than Portuguese Liga, Benfica offers overlay odds.
Soccer Pick: Benfica Lisbon
Villareal +1 ½ (-169) vs Manchester United -1 ½ (+126)
- When: Wednesday, Sep. 29
Villareal heads to Old Trafford to take on Man United in what should be an excellent match. United failed in their first Champions League battle, falling to the Young Boys.
Since then, the Red Devils haven’t improved, beating West Ham and then losing to West Ham and to Aston Villa in their last 3. Villareal drew 0-0 with Real Madrid in their last.
Take the goals if you want to be safe. It makes sense to also consider the draw or, like what we’re doing, even backing Villareal on the moneyline.
Soccer Pick: Villareal
