Can you believe we are over halfway done with the League Phase portion of the UEFA Champions League? Half of the table has already played their fifth match while the other clubs will be doing so on Wednesday, giving us tons of UCL action to wager on. There are three remaining teams that have won every contest, earning three points in each match. All of them are in action. Let’s get right into our favorite UCL picks and see if Arsenal, Bayern Munich, or Inter Milan will remain undefeated through five matches of this tournament.
We have a total of nine matches slated for today, so let’s find our best bets. Head over to our UCL Picks Page for our expert’s soccer analysis on every match, or read my best bets below.
UEFA Champions League: Wednesday’s Predictions November 26
Atletico Madrid vs. Inter Milan UCL Picks
Yan Sommer and Inter Milan have allowed just one UCL goal all year long
Best Bet: Inter Milan +0.25 (-117) BetOnline
We are backing the Italian side on the road in Spain. We have a half unit on the draw no bet, and a half unit on the double chance (+0.5) with both wagers priced at (-117). I see a low scoring match happening, which correlates with the underdog earning at least a point on the road. If Inter wins, we win both wagers, and if they draw, we walk away with a win and a push for a small profit.
Inter Milan are one of three remaining unbeaten teams in the UEFA Champions League, and the other two go head to head (see my pick below). The Italians could be on top of the table by themselves with a win. They already rank second in goals allowed, giving up just one in four matches while netting 11 of their own. Atletico are No. 20 on the UCL table, allowing nine and scoring 10 goals of their own.
They’ve won five straight, but crumbled against Arsenal. I think this will be a tough match for them to hang with this Inter Milan team whose back line is always phenomenal and whose offense is definitely finding a groove. They just lost in the Milan Derby, despite outshooting AC Milan 20-7 overall, 6-3 on frame, and winning the corner kick battle 9-1.
Give me Inter to bounce back and at least earn a point (and us, some profit).
Prediction: Inter Milan Wins 1-0 (+900)
Arsenal vs. Bayern Munich UCL Picks
Arsenal and Saliba host Bayern Munich and their potent attack in the UCL
Best Bet: Arsenal/Bayern 1H Under 0.5 (+235) BetOnline
We’re bringing back a classic 45 minute sweat for this match between two undefeated teams in the UCL. The Gunners get to play host against Bayern Munich, which absolutely helps their cause. I am having trouble picking a side, but I respect the hell out of both of these defenses, and I think they will use the first half to feel out their opponent with some caution.
For starters, Arsenal lead the UCL in goals allowed, having shutout their opening four opponents. They also lead the EPL in the same stat, giving up just half a goal per match. Arsenal arguably has the best backline across all soccer leagues and levels. Defensively, Munich is right there with them, giving up just three in their four UCL matches, and just 0.72 per match in the Bundesliga.
Munich’s offense is great, but they will be without Luis Diaz who had a red card against Paris Saint-Germain. While Bayern are very deep, he is their second leading scorer behind Harry Kane. I have faith in both sides to hold strong and limit their mistakes while they play a boring first half in a battle for possession before either becomes too aggressive. Both teams are perfect through the UCL so far. Now, the goal is to hold on for four more matches and stay in the top eight, which could entail simply earning a point in a boring draw.
Prediction: 1H 0-0 Draw (+235)
