You can read of listen to his best bets.

Man City v Atletico Madrid: Under 3.5 goals

Both teams come into this game on good form, City are unbeaten in 7 games, while Atletico are unbeaten in 8 and even won their last 6. I think this will be a tight affair, Atletico will defend deep and hope for a counter, while City will have most of the ball.

Bet Now: Under 3.5 goals

Benfica v Liverpool: Liverpool win

Liverpool are the clear favourites here for me. They’ve lost just 1 of their last 20 games in all competitions and beat Portuguese leaders Porto 5-1 (away) and 2-0 earlier in the season. Porto are first in Portugal, and Benfica are third, winning just 6 of their last 12 games.

Suggested Bet: Liverpool win

Villarreal v Bayern: Bayern win/draw & over 1.5 goals

Bayern are the clear favourites but they’ve shown some small hiccups this season. They seem to be back on track and are unbeaten in 8 games. All of Villarreal’s UCL games this season had at least 2 goals, 5 out of 8 had 3 or more. 7 out of Bayern’s 8 games had 3 or more goals and they’re still unbeaten.

Suggested Bet: Villarreal v Bayern: Bayern win/draw & over 1.5 goals

Chelsea v Real Madrid: Under 3.5 goals

Similar to City vs Atletico, I’m expecting a tight game. Chelsea will focus on defence after conceding 4 goals vs Brentford. Real Madrid will approach this game similar to their PSG first leg, trying to sit deep. Both teams met last year and the game were very tight – 1-1 in Madrid and 2-0 in London.

Suggested Bet: Under 3.5 goals

Bodo Glimt v Roma: Over 1.5 goals

The two teams met earlier in the campaign when Glimt famously humbled Roma 6-1, while they drew 2-2 in the second leg. Both are on decent runs, Roma unbeaten in 9 games, while Glimt are even without a defeat in 37 matches. Out of Glimt’s 16 Conference League games, only 2 had less than 2 goals. Only 1 of Roma’s 10 games had less than 2 goals.

Suggested Bet: Over 1.5 goals

Feyenoord v Slavia: Over 1.5 goals

In another game where both teams met in the group stages, Feyenoord beat Slavia 2-1 at home and drew the second match 2-2. 12 of Feyenoord’s 14 games had over 1.5 goals – in fact, all of those had over 2.5 goals, while 8 of Slavia’s 10 games had over 1.5 goals, too – 7 had over 2.5.

Suggested Bet: Over 1.5 goals

Marseille v PAOK: Over 1.5 goals

Marseille dropped out of the Europa League in the Conference and had 3 goals in their 4 games. They are also on a 5-game winning run. PAOK have just 2 of their last 25 games in all competitions, 11 of their 14 Conference League games had over 1.5 goals.

Suggested Bet: Over 1.5 goals

Leicester v PSV Eindhoven: Over 1.5 goals

Leicester dropped out of the Europa League into the Conference League and 9 out of their 10 European games this season have had at least over 1.5 goals. PSV are unbeaten in 13 games but also dropped from Europa into Conference League, 8 of their 10 games in Europe had over 1.5 goals.

Suggested Bet: Over 1.5 goals

Leipzig v Atalanta: Over 1.5 goals

Leipzig have lost just 1 of their last 15 games, they dropped out of the Champions League into Europa League. Their 6 UCL games had 30 goals, that’s 5 on average before their two games v Real Sociedad both had 4 goals. Atalanta also dropped out of the UCL, where their 6 games had 25 goals (average of 4.2), and their 4 Europa League games had 12 goals.

Suggested Bet: Over 1.5 goals

Frankfurt v Barcelona: Win/draw Barca & over 1.5 goals

Barcelona have been incredible since Xavi Hernandez took over, moving from 9th into 2nd in LaLiga. They are unbeaten in 13 games. They scored 4 against Atletico, Valencia, Napoli, Bilbao, Osasuna and Real Madrid. They were horrible in the UCL but won both their away games in the Europa League. 7 out of Frankfurt’s 8 Europa League games had over 1.5 goals, in fact, those 7 all had both teams to score.

Suggested Bet: Win/draw Barca & over 1.5 goals

West Ham v Lyon: Over 1.5 goals

Lyon did knock out Porto, while West Ham eliminated record champions Sevilla coming into this round. 6 of West Ham’s 8 Europa League games had over 1.5 goals, while 7 out of Lyon’s 8 games had over 1.5 goals, with Lyon winning 6 of them.

Suggested Bet: Over 1.5 goals

Braga v Rangers: Over 1.5 goals

9 of Braga’s 10 Europa League games had over 1.5 goals, while 9 of Ranger’s 12 Europa League games had over 1.5 goals – with their last 4 even seeing 16 between them. But Rangers have struggled away from home apart from their 4-2 win at Dortmund, drawing 4 and losing 2.

Suggested Bet: Over 1.5 goals
