Tuesday’s Champions League Best Bets: Galatasaray vs. Bayern Munich
Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbooks
Galatasaray vs. Bayern Munich (-225), DRAW (+425) | 3.5 (-105/-120)
Two of the eight matches today get underway at 12:45 p.m. ET, and they include Galatasaray hosting Bayern, and Inter taking on RB Salzburg. I’ll focus on the former, a tie that kicks off from RAMS Park in Istanbul, TR.
The oddsmakers are expecting a ton of scoring action in this one, and I cannot disagree. Both of these squads possess insane offensive prowess, so I’ll go ahead and lock in the over. The hosts are currently 8-1-0 on the domestic front, and they’ve scored 18 goals, making them the second-best offense out of the gate. As for Bayern, they’re 6-2-0 in the Bundesliga, and have 26 goals, making them the top offense in Germany.
The scoring has carried over to the Champions League as the duo have combined for 11 goals over their matches thus far. In terms of expected goals, the German powerhouse has posted a number of 3.0 while the Turkish club sits at 3.6. Neither club has been able to settle in on the defensive end either, with Bayern having an xGA number of 2.5 while Galatasaray is at 2.9. Ultimately, it’s hard for me to think of a path where both of these teams don’t score at least once, let alone potentially finding the back of the net multiple times. Let’s sit back and watch these two great offenses go to work €“ give me the over.
Bet: Over 3.5 (-105)
