UEFA Champions League picks for Barcelona vs. Benfica
Before you tune in to Tuesday’s match, you need to see the Champions League picks from soccer expert Jon Eimer. Eimer is a high-volume bettor who has vast knowledge of leagues and players across the globe. Since joining SportsLine, he has covered the English Premier League, Serie A, the FA Cup and much more. The Indiana-based handicapper compiled a winning record of 260-133-1 with over 90 units of profit for his community on various platforms over a recent two-month stretch.
-For Benfica vs. Barcelona, Eimer is backing Under 3.5 goals to be scored for a -125 payout (risk $125 to win $100). Benfica have had trouble scoring in UCL play, settling for a scoreless draw against Bologna and getting clean-sheeted by Bayern Munich. However, they have scored three or more goals in three of their last four matches in other competitions, which could boost their confidence. They also held Bayern to a single goal, showing they can stymy potent offenses.
It could be difficult to find the back of the net against Barcelona, however, as the Blaugrana are outscoring their UCL opponents 21-7 heading into Tuesday’s match. Hansi Flick’s men have the best road win percentage in La Liga (58%) and they’ll try to replicate that success in tournament play on Tuesday. Stream the game here and check out full soccer coverage on CBS Sports Golazo Network.
