Champions League Quarter-Final Best Bets: Barcelona vs. Borussia Dortmund
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Barcelona vs. Borussia Dortmund
The UCL action continues on Wednesday, with the other remaining Bundesliga club, Borussia Dortmund, taking on a Spanish heavyweight in Barcelona. This contest gets underway at 3:00 p.m. ET from Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in Barcelona, Spain.
These lines are so spot-on when we get to the deeper parts of the tournament. Often, I feel it's tough to find valuable bets in these highly visible matches. With that said, I think the best way to bet this match is by building a same-game parlay (SGP). I'll take Barcelona to win outright and combine it with the final score to clear 2.5 goals. When pondering on the range of outcomes for this match, I think Barcelona could win 3-0, 3-1 or 2-1.
The Spanish side's offense has been a wagon this tournament. They've logged a tournament-leading 32 goals in 10 games, which equates to 3.2 goals per match. They're also conceding 1.4 goals per match this UCL term. On the flip side, Borussia Dortmund is in a three-way tie for second with Bayern Munich and Real Madrid in goals scored (28). These are two offensive-minded clubs, and I expect to see some scoring. However, look for this 1-2 punch of Raphinha (11 UCL goals) and Robert Lewandowski (nine UCL goals) to outpace the visitors.
Bet: Same-Game Parlay: Barcelona to Win & Over 2.5 Goals (-145)
