Matchday 3 Leg 2: Wednesday, October 25th, 2023
Barcelona vs Shakhtar Donetsk
UCL Odds: Barcelona -2.5 +135; Shakhtar Donetsk +2.5 -180
Wednesday, October 25th at 12:45 pm ET
Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, Barcelona, Spain
Shakhtar upset Antwerp in their last match, a Champions League game on Oct 4. The road squad hasn’t played since then.
The layoff for sure will be a concern because Barcelona beat Athletic Bilbao in their last via a 1-0 score. 17-year-old Marc Guiu came off the bench and scored the winning goal for Barca in the 80th minute.
Barca may have found their next great striker and Donetsk won’t be sharp. Laying the 2.5 makes sense.

Celtic Park, Glasgow, Scotland
Celtic is in great form. The Scottish Premiership squad shows a single loss in their last 5. The L came against Lazio in a Champions League match.
But as well as Celtic has been playing, Atletico is on fire. The La Liga team has won 6 straight. Half of Atletico’s 6 victories came by multiple goals.

St. James’ Park, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England
Dortmund is a quality team. Also, the German Bundesliga squad is in great form. However, on Wednesday, Dortmund faces one of the Premier League’s better teams.
Newcastle has won 4-of-5 with a draw. The draw came in a match against rival West Ham. In their last, Newcastle beat Crystal Palace 4-0. Newcastle has no trouble scoring the win.

Parc des Princes, Paris, France
PSG’s form has turned for the better, but Newcastle blasted Paris 4-1 in PSG’s last Champions League match.
AC Milan has 3 wins, a draw, and a loss in their last 5. The loss came versus Juventus. The road team is an overlay at +350

RB Leipzig vs Red Star Belgrade
UCL Odds: RB Leipzig -1.5 -155; Red Star Belgrade +1.5 +123
Wednesday, October 25th at 3:00 pm ET
Red Bull Arena, Leipzig, Germany
In their last, Leipzig turned around their form. Leipzig beat Darmstadt 3-1.
Red Star lost to Man City 3-1 in their first CL game. In their second, Belgrade drew 2-2 against the Young Boys. Leipzig should win.
But it’s doubtful the home team wins by more than a goal. The payout on Red Star makes the dog the play.
Champions League Matchday 3 Pick: Red Star Belgrade +1.5 | Bet RB Leipzig vs Red Star Belgrade Today

Young Boys vs Manchester City
UCL Odds: Young Boys +1.5 +135; Manchester City -1.5 -179
Wednesday, October 25th at 3:00 pm ET
Wankdorf, Bern, Switzerland
Swiss Super League squad Young Boys is in decent form. The home team in this shows 2 wins and 2 draws in their last 4.
Man City isn’t playing great. They’ve lost 3 of their last 4 Premier League matches. It’s difficult to back City to beat anybody by more than a goal. Grabbing the +1.5 on the home team is the play.
Champions League Matchday 3 Pick: Young Boys +1.5 | Bet Young Boys vs Manchester City Today
