Games to Target:
Atletico Madrid vs Feyenoord: This game is very interesting in both DFS and real life. Atletico and Feyenoord are fighting with Lazio to finish first in the group and avoid a tough R16 matchup. The main attacking threats for both sides are Santi Gimenez for Feyenoord and then Antoine Griezmann for the Spanish side. Because of the high stakes game I like both GKs to see a good amount of shots and have saves.
Crvena Zvezda vs Young Boys: This one might go under the radar with bigger named teams on the slate. But I like both sides in what is my favorite game to become a shootout. Buraki, Ugrinic, and Elia will all be lesser own and should provide value as these two sides fight for a spot in the Europa League.
Drago’s Best Bets:
- Manchester City vs Red Bull Leipzig Over 3.5 Goals
- Young Boys vs Crvena Zvezda BTTS Yes
- PSG ML
- Barcelona Over 1.5 Team Goals
