UCL | Liverpool 0 @ Real Madrid 1 | 03/15 | 8:00 PM UTC

OVER 3.5 +130

LOSS

ANALYSIS: While I don't expect to see Over 6.5 goals hit like we did in the first leg, this game looks to me like it should be another attack-heavy and open affair. With Jurgen Klopp's men showing they are capable of finding goals against tough outfits when needed (see Manchester United last month), they've also been lacking defensively. With Liverpool being down three goals in aggregate, they have no reason to do anything other than attack here, and while I think they might find a couple, they'll have to do it against one of the best counter-attacking teams in the world in Real Madrid. This should pose to be another goal-heavy affair.

UCL | Eintracht Frankfurt 0 @ Napoli 3 | 03/15 | 8:00 PM UTC

Napoli -1.5 +140

WIN

ANALYSIS: I do not believe in Frankfurt's ability to score in this match. Frankfurt are a side that prides itself on showing up for its fans, but due to rule-breaking in the first leg, all Frankfurt fans have been banned from attending this second leg. Morale will be non-existent for a Frankfurt side that's down 2-0 in aggregate. I very easily could see a repeat of the 2-0 score in this second leg.

UCL | Eintracht Frankfurt 0 @ Napoli 3 | 03/15 | 8:00 PM UTC

Napoli -205

WIN

ANALYSIS: Frankfurt are in a very ugly spot right now. On top of losing their best goal-scorer, Kolo Muani, to a red card in the first leg, they've now had all fans banned from attending the second leg of their matchup against Napoli. After dominating the first leg, Napoli will look to take out some aggression on a pitiful Frankfurt side.

UCL | Borussia Dortmund 0 @ Chelsea 2 | 03/07 | 8:10 PM UTC

Chelsea -135

WIN

ANALYSIS: I know it seems flat-out blasphemous to back Chelsea in any capacity in their current form. They lost the first leg against Dortmund 1-0, but their expected goals in the match was over 2.2. Graham Potter's Chelsea side has nothing to play for other than the Champions League. They are an embarrassing 10th in the EPL table, so their only chance at redemption this season is via UCL success. The longer this 600-million-dollar squad is on the pitch together, the better it will eventually become. It could be a very ugly game, but Chelsea should find a victory here.

UCL | Real Madrid 5 @ Liverpool 2 | 02/21 | 8:00 PM UTC

OVER 2.5 -150

WIN

ANALYSIS: Not a lot of people want to bet on this first leg, and I totally understand. This is going to be an UGLY game. Two European giants clash while in mediocre form and dealing with injuries, major transfer rumors and off-pitch issues. This is a difficult game to bet on. With all that being said, I see this as a massive opportunity for both clubs to show the world they can tune out all the drama. They are here to compete, and both have the experience in the UCL environment to be successful. There will be too many world-class attackers on the pitch to not see goals here, especially with both sides struggling to keep healthy back lines. I don't know who wins this, but I expect goals in this match.
