Champions League picks for Bayern vs. Aston Villa
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, 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 Aston Villa vs. Bayern, Green is picking both teams to score and over 2.5 goals combined for a -125 payout. Both teams are finding the back of the net with regularity, with Bayern scoring 17 goals in five league matches and Aston Villa scoring 12 goals over six.
The expert is, however, interested to see how Unai Emery's team can contain Bayern's top-tier talent including Harry Kane, Jamal Musiala and Michael Olise. Aston Villa's solo loss this season was at home to Arsenal, and they are hosting an equally tough team on Wednesday.
"Emery has an excellent record in European competitions, and he will have a plan in place to thwart Bayern," Green told SportsLine. "However, the individual brilliance of players like Kane, Musiala and Olise could ultimately prove decisive on Wednesday."
