- When: Tuesday, April 16
- Champions League Odds: Ajax +415 / Juventus -161
Juventus drew with Ajax in the first leg of their Champions League battle. In that match, Ajax repeatedly fouled Ronaldo, but the referees didn’t seem to want to call it. All the fouling led to a 1-1 draw in the first leg.
Juventus will be looking for revenge. Juventus should be fired up enough to beat Ajax by at least 2 goals in this. But, there’s no reason to push too hard. Surprisingly, the best team in Italian Serie A offers amazing overlay odds to exact their revenge over Ajax.
Soccer Betting Prediction: Juventus 3, Ajax 1
- When: Tuesday, April 16
- Champions League Odds: Manchester United +685 / Barcelona -307
Barcelona played well enough for the 1-0 victory at Old Trafford in the first leg of this battle with Manchester United. Barca drew 0-0 with Huesca in their match right after the Champions League victory. Barcelona’s geared up for the second leg, though.
Manchester United will fight hard, but they’re just not as talented as Barcelona. Messi’s team should win by at least 2 goals. If you don’t want to swallow the low moneyline odds, back Barca on the handicap.
Soccer Betting Prediction: Barcelona 3, Manchester United 0
- When: Wednesday, April 17
- Champions League Odds: Tottenham +849 / Manchester City -376
Tottenham played well enough to get the 1-0 win over Manchester City in the first leg. However, the victory came at a cost. Harry Kane, their best player, is hurt and won’t return until the Champions League Final if Tottenham makes it.
Manchester City knows they need at least 2 goals to beat Tottenham and move on in the Champions League Tournament. Man City should have no trouble doing that. It’s hard to see the Hot Spur hitting the ball into the back of the net with Harry on the sidelines.
Soccer Betting Prediction: Manchester City 2, Tottenham 0
