Tuesday 4/13 UCL Slate and DFS Gameplan

The Champion’s League returns this week for the second legs of the Round of Eight matchups and I couldn’t be more excited!

If the teams are tied on aggregate goals at the end of the second leg, the team with more away goals wins on a tiebreaker.

If both teams are even on away goals, then it goes to an extra thirty minutes “as in the Juventus/Porto matchup this season” and if still tied after that “with the away goal rule still in application”, it goes to penalty kicks.

Porto (+320) at Chelsea (-117) – 2.4 Total Goals – Chelsea leads 2-0 on Aggregate

Compared to the other matchup, this is one is far less exciting. The expectation is that Chelsea handles business at home and advances to the semifinal.

Bayern Munich (+115) at PSG (+200) – 3.5 Total Goals – PSG leads 3-2 on Aggregate

This one is set to be a blockbuster as the tables have certainly turned between these two sides. As of now, DraftKings Sportsbook has PSG at -278 to advance. Not only do they take a lead into the second leg, but the away goal rule would allow them an extra tiebreaker as things stand.

With Robert Lewandowski and Serge Gnabry out, PSG has the better high-end attackers at the moment, with the duo of Kylian Mbappe and Neymar. Will they be able to help PSG hold on and grab revenge for last year’s Champion’s League Final? I think so but it should be tight.
