Mon : 4 - 0 ( + 8.84 units )
Champions League Group Stage begins tomorrow across Europe. Its what dreams are made of........
I cant pull the trigger on Tuesday's games , although there is a huge temptation to back some big dogs like Lazio @ 3/1 , Shaktar Donetsk @ 4.5/1 and Dortmund @ 4/1. If Olmo of Spain were available , I would be backing Leipzig to the moon and back at Young Boys of Switzerland. I also lean to Feyenoord against Celtic , but the books have already factored in the bias. On to Wednesday.....
Real Madrid vs Union Berlin : 12:45pm
Real Madrid -1.5 @ 2.05 ( 2 units )
Union Berlin have come a long way in a short time. They are a small market team that worked their way up the ladder and woke up one morning in Der Bundesliga. The home grounds of Union seat a max of 22,000 , which begs comparisons to England's Luton Town. Real Madrid are the perennial winners of Ch League and are dead set on gaining a La Liga crown as well this season. They have started the new campaign with a 5 for 5 win streak in league play and should be able to impose their will on tiny Union Berlin
Bayern Munich vs Manchester Utd: 3pm
Bayern -1 @ 1.90 ( 3 units )
I was licking my chops for this home and away matchup when the draw was announced. It pits two old time foes against each other with a deep history and undertone behind it. Man Utd are in a bad slide at the moment having lost 3 of their last 4. The injury list has grown as well and forward and defense are a sore spot without the likes of Antony , Sancho , Shaw , Varane and potentially mount as well. Bayern have the timely return of 2 of their best players in captain Kimmich and young start Musiala A bolder man would also consider Bayern -1.5 @ 2.35 as well
Sevilla vs Lens : 3pm
Sevilla @ 1.85 ( 2 units )
Another small market side in Lens , who shocked the soccer world last season by finishing 2nd in France. This season has found Lens crashing back to earth with a winless streak of 5 games to open league play ( 4 losses , 1 draw ). Sevilla have also under performed to date , but they have the players and ability to be world beaters on any given day. An average performance should be enough tho
Thank God for cell phones and the DAZN app so I can watch my beloved Bayern game.
