Betting MyBookie Champions League: Prediction and Odds

It is a huge week of betting MyBookie Champions League, as we are about to see the final batch of league games played.

Once we get through the next round of matches, we will know which 8 teams have earned their spot in the knockout phase.

Champions League Matchday 8 Analysis

We will also know which 16 teams will be heading into a playoff for the final 8 spots in the next round. Things are a little different this week in that rather of having all the games split over two days, all the action will take place on Wednesday, so with each goal, we are going to see the standings change. It is going to make for a fun watch, but how can we bet on all the action? Let’s get into that now.

Of course, you can keep things simply and bet on the games that stand out to you, some of which we will get to in a moment with our picks and predictions. If you do go the basic betting route, keep in mind that there can be draws in these games, which is important when looking at making straight up bets. You also have the spread and goal totals to play with here.

Betting Props

There are, of course, props and futures bets that you can go with, starting with picking the outright winner of the tournament. Given that Liverpool has been perfect through their opening 7 games, it is no surprise to see them in as the favorite to win the Champions League at odds of +410.

How are the Odds to Win?

You also have Arsenal (+600), Real Madrid (+610), and Barcelona (+610) knocking on the door. You can also wager on what type of final we might see. Will it be a pair of teams from the English Premier League going head-to-head, or perhaps a pair of Spanish teams.

Finally, how about placing a wager on the top scorer in the tournament. The goal here is to look at the current list and try to pick a player you believe is on a team that might make a deep run. For example, Erling Haaland (+400) is among the favorites, but there is a chance that Manchester City might not make the playoffs, so he would definitely be a risky pick. If you think Liverpool can go on and win it, then perhaps Mo Salah (+2500) could be a decent pick at fantastic odds.

Top Game and Predictions for Betting MyBookie Champions League Matchday 8

Aston Villa -193 vs Celtic +440 (Draw +340)

When: Wednesday, January 29, 3:00 PM
Champions League Prediction: Aston Villa 2-1 Celtic

We don’t see it happen very often, so when you have an English team going against a Scottish team, it’s always a little special. This is an especially big one for Aston Villa, as they still have a shot at cracking the top 8 and avoiding the playoffs, but they do need to win this one.

Villa has scored 9 times and surrendered 4 to this point. Celtic won’t be in the top 8, but they are assured of a spot in the playoffs, so the pressure is off a little. That said, they would still like a result that might give them a more favorable draw. Celtic has scored 11 and given up 10 goals.

Barcelona -137 vs Atalanta +295 (Draw +320)

When: Wednesday, January 29, 3:00 PM
Champions League Prediction: Barcelona 3-2 Atalanta

This is easily one of the biggest games on the Matchday 8 schedule, as both of these teams are currently sitting in the top 8. Barcelona is safe, as they cannot fall below the cut line, but they will still want to keep their winning run alive at home.

They are far and away the top scorers in the tournament, bagging 26 goals while surrendering 11. Atlanta is sitting in 7th place heading into this game, but they are in danger of dropping out of the top 8 with a loss here, as there are a ton of teams nipping at their heels. Atlanta has scored 18 goals and surrendered just 4.

Brest +570 vs Real Madrid -250 (Draw +380)

When: Wednesday, January 29, 3:00 PM
Champions League Prediction: Brest 0-2 Real Madrid

If you had suggested that Brest would be ahead of Real Madrid with a game remaining in the league phase, you would likely have been laughed out of the room. The reality, though, is that the champions have struggled and are currently sitting in 16th, a point back of the French side.

Brest has seen their form dip recently, falling out of the top 8 after losing 2 of their last 3 games. They have scored 10 times and given up 8 goals through their first 7 games. Madrid could still potentially make it into the top 8, but they would need a lot of help, too. They have won 2 in a row, and I like them to make it 3 here, so get ready to betting MyBookie Champions League.

Inter -172 vs Monaco +430 (Draw +300)

When: Wednesday, January 29, 3:00 PM
Champions League Prediction: Inter 2-0 Monaco

Another very big game that features a pair of teams with a shot at finishing in the top 8. A point might be enough to see Inter land in the top 8, but you can bet that they will be looking to end this stage of the tournament with another win.

They do not score a lot of goals, but they are tough to crack on defense, scoring 8 and surrendering just 1 thus far. Monaco is coming off a massive win over Aston Villa last time out, snapping a 2-game losing streak in the process, but this is a much tougher ask.

Manchester City -575 vs Brugge +1150 (Draw +630)

When: Wednesday, January 29, 3:00 PM
Champions League Prediction: Manchester City 3-1 Brugge

This tournament has delivered a fair number of surprises to this point, but the biggest shicker would be seeing Manchester City finish below the playoff line. That is where they are right now, sitting in 25th after picking up just 1 point in their last 4 games. This is a game that you would expect them to win, but you could also have said that about the games they have lost.

Brugge is in the playoff zone right now and looking to cling to that spot, but this is certainly not the ideal matchup for them. They are unbeaten in their last 4, so they are in decent form.
