UEFA Champions League Picks Today: UCL Predictions for April 14

Most teams that lose the first UCL quarterfinal leg by 2-0 at home are doomed, but that’s not the case with Barcelona. The side looked great in large periods of last week’s match against Atletico, despite going to ten men early.

Barcelona controlled the ball and created plenty of chances but failed to convert any of them. The team will be eager to upset the odds, and I won’t be shocked if that happens.

Let’s remember how Barcelona almost erased a 4-0 deficit against Atletico Madrid in Copa del Rey earlier this season. This team’s attacking power makes it dangerous, even in the toughest situation. Furthermore, 2-0 is not a completely impossible result to overcome.

I expect Barcelona to dominate this game and win. I’m not sure they will be convincing enough to progress, but getting +260 for that scenario is one of the best Champions League bets today.

I’m really surprised by the high odds for PSG to win the second leg against Liverpool once again. Given how much better the French champions were in the opening game and the English side’s struggles all year long, I would’ve expected a price just higher than +100.

Instead, you can grab +169 for the obviously better side. PSG were able to cut Liverpool open almost at will in the first game and should’ve won by more than 2-0. And that’s despite the defensive approach taken by Arne Slot, who send the Reds out there in a very conservative formation.

Liverpool will be forced to attack more in the second leg, opening a lot of space for PSG’s fluid attack. The French team is perfectly equipped to take full advantage of such a setup, so another victory makes the most sense at these odds.
