UEFA Champions League preview, odds, picks: Betting selections for each group, tournament winner and top scorer
UEFA Champions League returns for the 2021-22 edition. The remaining 32 teams from across the continent are set to face off.
Manchester City, PSG, RB Leipzig and Club Brugge are in the same group. The best bet in this group is to bet on Manchester City to win the group at +110. The other two teams are Leipsig and Bredge.
Atletico Madrid, AC Milan and Porto are in the same group as Liverpool. Liverpool returns with a healthy back line and Antoine Griezmann. Milan is the second-most successful Champions League team of all-time. Portos lost to Chelsea in last year's quarterfinals. If Portoa or Milan advance, they will play for second place.
Borussia Dortmund, Ajax, Sporting Lisbon and Besiktas are in Group C. Dortmund is the sexy pick to win the group and advance to the next round. Ajax won their league title last season and Sporting won Primeira Liga for the first time in years.
Real Madrid, Inter Milan, Shakhtar Donetsk and Tiraspol were in the same group last season. They have different managers now. Shaktar is the favorite to advance. The betting odds favour Shakhtars to win the group. I am staying away from this group as I don't like the idea of betting on it.
Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Benfica and Dynamo Kiev are in the same Champions League group. Barca are without one of the greatest players of all-time and recently sent Griezmann back to Atletico Madrid. Ben fica or Dynamo Kyiv can win the group and advance to the next round.
Cristiano Ronaldo's return helps Manchester United. Atalanta can give United a good game. Young Boys and Villarreal are the other teams in Group F. UEFA Champions League preview, odds, picks and tournament winner are available.
Sevilla is the favorite to win the group. Lille is intriguing despite making some sales and losing their manager Christophe Galtier. Wolfsburg are a team to watch in Group G.
Chelsea are the defending champions of the Champions League. Juventus lost Cristiano Ronaldo and have lost their best player. The team has added Moise Kean and Manuel Locatelli to their attack.
Parlays are always a fun thing to do. Let's try out some combinations that make sense and can pay off a sizeable amount.
Manchester United and Bayern are heavy favorites for their groups. PSG and Manchester City are also likely winners of their group. The winner of each group can be bet on unit size.
PSG are the favorite to win the Champions League. France is the second favorite country to do so. Bayern Munich and Germany are also popular bets.
Cristiano Ronaldo is a fantastic value at +900. Ronaldo recently said the record for goals for an international player and was Serie A’s top scorer just last season. Juventus have a relatively easy group and a side that has more creators than Juventus.
