Champions League Quarter-Final Wednesday
Yesterday’s 1st leg of the quarter-finals was slightly rough for us. Benfica had its chances to score a couple goals but could not put one through. Bayern’s defense was good until it wasn’t. That game went over the total / sat on 3 goals. It took a couple amazing Man City shots to make it happen but that’s how it goes. Let’s jump back in!
Champion’s League record: 6-8 (-1.82 units)

Real Madrid (-160) vs. Chelsea (+460) ; total 2.5; 2:00pm cst
Now that Karem Benzema is back and healthy for Real Madrid they seem to be unstoppable. Business as usually. They are also a great home team that loves to run and gun. Chelsea is still having trouble especially in the Premier League this season. It has been a mess. I can see this being a 3-1 or 2-1 final. I like Real Madrid here and this to go over.
Pick: Real Madrid ML (-160), Real Madrid -0.5,-1 (-125) & Over 2.5 (-115)
AC Milan (+165) vs. Napoli (+185); total 2 (-122); 2:00pm cst
The last time these two met only a couple weeks ago, Milan won 4-0 at home giving Napoli its first loss in some time. Will the pressure of the Champions League be too much pressure for AC Milan? They have not scored a goal in 10 of its last 16 UCL matches. Not a terrible stretch and vague stat. I will bet this game to go over based off of principle with Napoli playing and the number being set at 2. I think Napoli bounces back after its embarrassing 4-0 loss to Milan. Milan might also be big headed and over confident as well. When Napoli is almost a 2/1 dog against a familiar opponent sometimes you just have to take a shot or just pass. I’m betting on this Napoli offense. I thought about passing due to Osimhen being out. El Chucky Lozano vamos!
Pick: Napoli (+185); Over 2 (-122)
