UEFA Champions League picks for Bayern vs. Celtic

Before you tune in to Wednesday’s match, you need to see the Champions League picks from soccer expert Martin Green. After working in the sports betting industry for several years, Green became a professional sports writer and handicapper and has covered the game worldwide. Last year, he was profitable in multiple areas on his soccer picks for anyone following him on betting apps and betting sites, including Euro qualifying (+6.30 units), the EFL Cup (+4.47), the FA Cup (+3.07) and the Champions League (+3.05) among others.

For Celtic vs. Bayern Munich, Green is backing Bayern to win plus both teams to score for a +140 payout (risk $100 to win $140). The expert acknowledges that there is a wealth of quality separating Celtic from other league-leading teams in Europe, which was evident in losses to Borussia Dortmund and Aston Villa in the previous UCL round. That being said, they have an 11-1-0 record at home in league play, while Bayern have been inconsistent on the road.

Celtic have also scored in each of their last 10 matches and will be going up against a Bayern defense that conceded 12 goals in eight games last round. Even so, Green isn’t convinced Celtic’s attack can match up to what Harry Kane and Jamal Musiala can do for the Bavarians.

“Celtic may cause problems for Bayern’s slightly leaky defense – after all, they have scored in each of their last 10 games – but they are unlikely to contain the likes of Kane and Musiala at the other end of the pitch,” Green told SportsLine. Stream the game here and check out full soccer coverage on CBS Sports Golazo Network.
