Champions League Predictions, Odds & Best UCL Picks for 11-07-23

⭐ Barcelona to beat Shakhtar and make a shutout (+121) at bet365! ⭐

At odds of +1000 at bet365 just to win on home turf, we give Shakhtar Donetsk no chance to get anything out of this game against Barcelona.

After a 2-1 win against it in the last match, Barcelona moved onto three wins in three games with eight goals scored and just one let in, and it has no doubt established itself as a serious contender to win the title.

Shakhtar have also won just one game after a victory against Royal Antwerp, while also letting in seven goals. In our opinion, this should be a routine win for Barcelona. 

Best UCL Picks #1: Barcelona to beat Shakhtar and make a shutout (+121) at bet365

⭐ Dortmund to beat Newcastle (+160) at BetMGM ⭐

Arguably the tie of the round is up next for our UCL predictions, as Newcastle is at Dortmund.

After three games in what is Newcastle’s first Champions League campaign for over 20 years, it has managed to stun Europe with a win over Paris Saint-Germain. However, it has also tied with Milan and lost to Dortmund.

Given how this game in Germany after BVB won at Newcastle, we’re sticking with it winning again for our UCL picks.

⭐ Atletico to beat Celtic 2-0 (+550) at DraftKings ⭐

Celtic are staring in the face of yet another exit from the Champions League at the group stages, and should it lose at Atletico Madrid, its dream will be over once again.

A loss is all we can think about for our UCL picks after losing twice and letting in six goals from its winless three matches. Celtic did, however, get a 2-2 tie with Atletico in Scotland two weeks back, but over in Spain, things are set to be very different.

In fact, Celtic has lost all six of its games in Spain since a famous 1-1 tie against Barcelona in 2004, while Atletico is unbeaten in seven games against Celtic.

⭐ Evanilson to score against Antwerp (+130) at Caesars ⭐

Our UCL predictions keep going with an easy night at the office for the Portuguese giants Porto. It faces off with Royal Antwerp on home turf just two weeks on from defeating it 4-1 in Belgium.

Evanilson scored a fantastic hat-trick that day, and he has now scored six goals in eight games with Porto this season. 

His goals have also helped guide it to second in Group H, and a win for Porto would all but secure its place in the knockout rounds, given how Barcelona is expected to beat Shakhtar.

⭐ Best UCL Picks #4: Evanilson to score against Antwerp (+130) at Caesars ⭐

⭐ RB Leipzig to beat Red Star 2-1, 3-1 or 4-1 (+310) at FanDuel ⭐

After a rough start to the season, RB Leipzig managed to put together a nine-game unbeaten run throughout September and October in Germany and has now scored a stunning 25 goals and let in only nine from 10 matches.

Back in the Champions League, it sits five points ahead of Red Star Belgrade and will secure a spot in the knockout rounds if it wins here and if Manchester City beats Young Boys at the same time.

Ultimately, with eight goals let in from just three European games already, Leipzig should win quite comfortably here, but given how Red Star got a goal at City, we think it could get at least one here.

⭐ Best UCL Picks #5: RB Leipzig to beat Red Star 2-1, 3-1 or 4-1 (+310) at FanDuel ⭐

⭐ Over 3.5 goals between City and Young Boys (+100) at BetMGM ⭐

Not much analysis is needed in this game, as City is expected to run riot with a few goals and a comfortable win over Young Boys.

It has so far won all three games, including a 3-1 win against Young Boys two weeks ago. 

This game could end up finishing 4-0 to City, 5-0, or perhaps even more. That’s why we’ve kept things open with over 3.5 goals.

⭐ A tie between AC Milan and PSG (+250) at Caesars ⭐

Perhaps the toughest one to call out of our UCL predictions is the match between AC Milan and PSG. The two giants of European football will meet in Italy, but it's the home team who has all the work to do after two ties and one loss.

In fact, should PSG win here and either one of Newcastle or Dortmund collects all three points too, it could feel like the curtains have closed on Milan's Champions League campaign.

Milan has now failed to win any of its past four games, losing both home matches in 1-0 defeats to Juventus and Udinese, while PSG also beat it 3-0 in Paris before a 2-2 tie at Napoli.

Given this form but also being on home turf, we give Milan a chance to salvage something out of this group and get a tie.

⭐ Best UCL Picks #7: A tie between AC Milan and PSG (+250) at Caesars ⭐

⭐ A tie at half time between Lazio and Feyenoord (+120) at FanDuel ⭐

There’s everything to play for in this final game on Tuesday, as Feyenoord in first is just two points ahead of Lazio in third. 

What's more, given how Atletico is expected to beat Celtic in the same group, this match feels like a must-not-lose for both teams.

Feyenoord did win the first game against Lazio, but over in Rome and in a game as crucial as this, we don’t see how it gets another victory. 

However, we’re also struggling to call it for our UCL picks, so we’re heading for a tie at half time, because absolutely anything could ensue thereafter.
