UEFA Champions League picks for Bayern Munich vs. Salzburg
Before tuning into Wednesday’s Champions League clash, you need to see the Bayern Munich vs. FC Salzburg picks from SportsLine’s soccer insider Jon Eimer. Eimer is a high-volume bettor who has vast knowledge of leagues and players across the globe. Since joining SportsLine, Eimer has covered the English Premier League, Serie A, the FA Cup and much more. The Indiana-based handicapper compiled a winning record of 260-133-1 with over 90 units of profit for his community on various platforms over a recent two-month stretch.
For Bayern Munich vs. Red Bull Salzburg, Eimer is backing Bayern Munich over 2.5 goals scored at +100 odds. Bayern was head and shoulders above the competition in the group stage of the Champions League. It has both the best offense and the best defense, as no team scored more than its 22 goals and no team allowed fewer than its three.
Meanwhile, Salzburg is one of the weakest teams to advance to the Round of 16. Its group stage goal differential of plus-two ranked 14th of the 16 teams who have advanced to this phase. While it is strong in its domestic league, Salzburg has struggled against the world’s best teams like Bayern in European competition. These teams played twice just over two years ago, and Bayern scored nine total goals over those matches.
Wednesday’s game takes place in Salzburg, but that doesn’t necessarily present an advantage for the home team. Bayern is averaging 3.4 goals per game on the road this year compared to 3.0 at home. Eimer doesn’t see an overmatched FC Salzburg team slowing down the German powerhouse on Wednesday.
“On paper, [Salzburg] do not have the defensive power to keep Bayern at bay, which should create a high scoring affair between two teams that will be looking to do nothing but attack,” Eimer told SportsLine.
