8/15 UCL Showdown Slate

After yesterday’s game, where Bayern Munich put up a historic thrashing of Barcelona 8-2, we are down to one final game in the round of eight. Manchester City is a huge favorite against Lyon and has to be pretty happy that it is Lyon they are facing and not Cristiano Ronaldo and Juventus.

Manchester City should be able to grab a fairly comfortable win here and advance to the final four, setting up a huge matchup with Bayern Munich.

The Betting Game Plan

It is likely that Man City is able to score at least a couple goals here, so taking the over 1.5 on goals scored is my favorite bet for the day.
