MANCHESTER – The UEFA Champions League knockout round playoff draw most notably features a match between European powerhouses in Real Madrid and Manchester City. Madrid is a legal sports betting underdog at Etihad Stadium with +190 odds on the moneyline.
Manchester City vs Real Madrid Opening Lines
Team | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
---|---|---|---|
Manchester City | 0, -0.5 (+100) | +130 | O3.0 (-108) |
Real Madrid | 0, +0.5 (-120) | +190 | U3.0 (-112) |
Madrid is unbeaten on the road in their last seven matches (6 wins, 1 tie), but the best bet in their fourth-consecutive UCL clash with City is the 3.0-goal total to go over. Eight of their last nine head-to-head meetings saw at least three total goals, including their last three games.
Americans Squaring Off In The UCL Knockout Playoff Round
The marquee match for American talent in the Champions League draws feature Juventus (-115) against PSV Eindhoven. Juventus has USMNT stars like Weston McKennie and Tim Weah, while four Americans (Sergino Dest, Richard Ledezma, Ricardo Pepi, and Malik Tillman) make up the PSV side.
Juventus vs PSV Eindhoven Betting Odds
Team | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
---|---|---|---|
Juventus | -0.5 (-115) | -115 | O2.5 (+100) |
PSV Eindhoven | +0.5 (-105) | +320 | U2.5 (-120) |
PSV will likely be without Ricardo Pepi in the match, who scored a goal and assisted another in their 3-2 win over Liverpool on Wednesday. His potential absences could be a factor in Juventus being a favorite for betting on soccer in the Champions League knockout round.
Christian Pulisic, also known as Captain America, will be playing in the UCL knockout round and leads AC Milan as 0, 0.5-goal favorites against Feyenoord. Pulisic’s four goals scored during the league phase are the most ever by an American player in a single UEFA Champions League campaign.
