8/12 UCL Showdown Slate DFS Picks
The quarterfinals in the Champions League will begin in Portugal today with Atalanta taking on PSG. PSG may be short-handed today without Kylian Mbappe, who would be a huge loss for them, but rumours are saying he is good to play off the bench at a minimum. Angel Di Maria is already suspended for PSG, and with the attacking football Atalanta love to play, PSG will need its stars in order to keep up with the goals. I think we see a game today capable of producing four goals.
