Tuesday 3/9 UCL DFS

This article focuses on 3/9 UCL Picks for DraftKings and FanDuel Sportsbook and FanDuel and DraftKings Daily Fantasy. We consider tournament tactics, statistics, pricing, and attempt to tackle this highly variable Daily Fantasy format. The goal is to gain an edge on the field at large.

Tuesday 3/9 UCL Slate and DFS Gameplan

The Champion’s League returns for the second legs of the Round of 16 Matches. At this point, it will be make or break for these four teams. Today’s matches both enter the afternoon with the teams only separated by one goal apiece.

If any teams are tied at the end of regulation, away goals scored count as the tiebreaker. Then if the teams are even on away goals, it goes to an extra 30 minute overtime which is not first goals wins, but rather plays in entirety. If no teams score over those thirty minutes, it goes to penalty kicks. 

Sevilla (+220) at Dortmund (+118) – 3 Total Goals – Dortmund Leads 3-2 on Aggregate

Behind the golden leg of Erling Haaland, Dortmund returns to Germany for the second leg up one goal. If there was a full crowd in attendance, this would virtually be a wrap as the Yellow Wall is one of the loudest stadiums on earth. However, the odds suggest that Sevilla will have a fighting chance. Considering Jadon Sancho is out, it is not hard to try to guess the most likely source of any Dortmund goal. With rumors of an exit coming soon enough, Mr. Haaland will look to add to his already impressive resume for a 20-year-old.

Porto (+600) at Juventus (-225) – 2.75 Total Goals – Porto Leads 2-1 on Aggregate

Porto was extremely impressive during the first leg, obtaining the advantage heading into the second leg. Juventus should win and are the heavy favorites here. Nevertheless, I think this will be closer than the odds above suggest “see the Best Bet below”. For DFS purposes, I do expect Juventus to have more of the ball and likely pile on more stats regardless of the final score. If Juventus were to lose this match, it would certainly cause us to entertain questions regarding the future of Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Betting Game Plan

Talk about playing with house money. No one in the world expects Porto to win this match. However, they showed they could hold their own during the first leg in Portugal. Therefore, given the massive odds difference, I think this is worth a shot.
