UEFA Champions League Picks Today: UCL Predictions for November 3

I’m a simple man: I see decent odds for Bodo Glimt to win at home and I take them! The Norwegian side has one of the strongest home records in the Champions League, with the artificial pitch and vocal support making them very dangerous.

Bodo Glimt has played three home games in the UCL this year, if we include qualifiers, winning them all. The most impressive one was the 1-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund in October.

If you go back to last season, it gets even better. Bodo Glimt beat Inter Milan, Sporting, and Man City at home. This is one of the toughest places to go in Europe, so getting close to even odds against an inconsistent Lille side is one of the best Champions League best on Tuesday.

The French team has only one victory in the last six games in all competitions. Their goal difference over that stretch is 5-9, with both the defense and offense struggling. I expect more of the same against a good Bodo Glimt team.

Confidence and momentum will be on the Norwegians’ side, so I’m more than happy to back them for another home win.

Barcelona is one of the most entertaining teams in the world, as they can score for fun. However, their defense is very hard to trust and any competent opponent is likely to create some good chances.

The both teams to score market has hit in five Barcelona games in a row, clearly showing that keeping clean sheets is not a priority for Flick and his men. They will once again go out attacking from the first minute, relying on their insane offense to simply outscore the opposition.

This is the most sensible scenario against a decent but inconsistent Aston Villa side. The English team has enough firepower to hit Barcelona on the counter, with Nicolas Jackson delivering eight goals in his last ten games.

Still, Villa’s defense is very unlikely to cope with Barca on the other end. I won’t be shocked if we see five or six goals combined in this one, so I’m more than happy to take a home win and both teams to score at plus odds.
