UEFA Champions League picks for Bayern vs. Chelsea- Both teams to score & over 2.5 goals (-118)
- Chelsea +1 Asian handicap (-120)
The expert notes that both sides have plenty of goal-scoring talent but also have shaky defenses. Bayern only kept five clean sheets in 14 Champions League games last season, and the Blues backline looked out of sorts in a 2-2 draw against Brentford in EPL play on Saturday. Chelsea star Cole Palmer found the back of the net in that game while Harry Kane scored twice for Bayern his last time out, and the opposing defenses could have trouble containing them on Wednesday. "It promises to be an open, entertaining game, with lots of chances at both ends of the pitch, so a bet on both teams to score and over 2.5 goals looks appealing," Green said.

Chelsea +1 Asian handicap (-120)"Chelsea are heavy underdogs, but they should give a good account of themselves in Munich, so Chelsea +1 Asian handicap also appeals," Green said. "That pays out if they win or draw, and it's graded as a push if they lose by a single goal." Place this bet at -150 odds at DraftKings.
