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. The expert is expecting the Villans to find the back of the net since they are averaging two goals per game through six Premier League matches. He is also expecting big things from Bayern, who are outscoring their Bundesliga opponents 17-4 through five matches.
Green notes that Unai Emery's team has one loss on the season, and that was a home match against Arsenal. Bayern will pose a similar threat with big-game scorers like Jamal Musiala, Michael Olise and Harry Kane.
"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."
