8/8 UCL Slate

Saturday afternoon, the Champion’s League Round of Sixteen will be wrapping up with two final games. Napoli at Barcelona and Chelsea at Bayern Munich.

Similar to yesterday, we have one of the world’s elite players attempting to help his team stay alive in the competition. Messi and Barcelona come into their match tied 1-1 on aggregate. It has been a disappointing season for Barcelona and they have had relatively poor recent form. Meanwhile, Napoli has been sort of middling as well.

The other matchup between Bayern Munich and Chelsea could get ugly. Willian is out of the fold, as well as Chelsea’s young star and great American Christian Pulisic. Considering Bayern Munich smashed Chelsea in London 3-0 when Chelsea was at full strength, I would not have very high hopes as a Chelsea fan.

Normally, Bayern Munich might rest a couple of players in a spot like this. However, unlike in most years, their domestic season in the Bundesliga is already over and not running concurrently. When you also factor in collective fear induced by Liverpool’s epic 4-0 second leg against Barcelona last season, I think that Bayern goes all out here to ensure that there is no Cinderella story.

UCL Best Bet

Chelsea (+700) at Bayern Munich (-286) – Under 3.5 Goals (-136) – 3PM ET – Saturday 8/8 – *BAYERN MUNICH*

The Betting Game Plan

Was there any question? The other game leans Barcelona’s way at home but should be a good one. Meanwhile, this should be a bloodbath. Bayern Munich should really be a -400 favorite here against Frank Lampard’s injury depleted Chelsea squad.
