The second Champions League day has come. Like yesterday I have 4 bets for today, unlike yesterday I have more time today and I will share my thoughts and bets with you.
Ajax Amsterdam – AEK Athen
Ajax is in very good shape this season. They never lost in the 11 official games they played this season and won 8 od them. In the last 4 League games they didn't even concede any goal.
AEK will have serious problems to score today, since three players are suspended: Livaja, Helder Lopes und Bakasetas, all of them dangerous in front of the opponents goal.
The comparison between both team's values indicates too that AEK will be in trouble tonight. AEK's squad has a value of around 40 Mio. €. Ajax most valuable player Mathis de Ligt alone has the same value, the whole team around 225 Mio. €. This looks like a good handicap bet to me.
Benfica – Bayern München
As usually Bayern are first in the domestic League. The last few games they won clearly. In 3 games they scored already 9 goals. What doesn't look to good is the list of injured players, which is long. Tolisso, Coman, Rafinha and now mabe Goretzka too will miss the game.
Benfica is first in the League after 4 games too with 10 points and the same amount of goals.
I tend to say Bayern München will win this game, but the odds were not interesting. As both teams score lots of goals, I bet on the Over 2.5 goals. In most of the games this teams are involved this is a good bet. Last time Bayern München played in Benfica in 2016 the game ended 2:2.
BSC Young Boys – Manchester United
This will be a tough game for Champions League debutant BSC YB. If they play as usually, they will not try to defend and hope for a 0:0. YB has scored in every game November 2017. I can imagine they can score today too.
I am afraid Manchester will score too, good chances that they score even more than once. The rather slow middle defenders from YB could have serious problems today to stop Lukaku or Rashford. Lukaku will have good memories of Berne, he scored a hattrick last time he faced the Young Boys, back then at Everton.
I think the over 2.5 goals bet is a pretty sure thing for this game.
Valencia – Juventus
Valencia is already in trouble in La Liga, only 3 points after 4 games. Besides Atletico, they didn't face strong opponents, what makes it even worse. At least they only lost 1 game, but they are still waiting for the first victory.
The total opposite for the Italians; 4 games, 4 victories in the Serie A and now even CR7 started to score. They are as strong as ever and this year they seem serious candidates to win the Champions League. After the hattrick from Messi yesterday Ronaldo will be even more motivated and I think they will beat Valencia.
I placed some bets yesterday, but I didn't make a post on Scorum yesterday because I was in a hurry. You can see them on my Steemit post, just in case you were wondering why my stats have a gap.
