Champions League picks for Bayer Leverkusen vs. Bayern Munich
Before you tune in to Wednesday’s match, you need to see the Champions League picks from soccer expert Jon Eimer. Eimer is a high-volume bettor who has vast knowledge of leagues and players across the globe. Since joining SportsLine, he has covered the English Premier League, Serie A, the FA Cup and much more. The Indiana-based handicapper compiled a winning record of 260-133-1 with over 90 units of profit for his community on various platforms over a recent two-month stretch.
For Bayern Munich vs. Bayer Leverkusen, Eimer is backing Leverkusen draw no bet for a +200 payout (risk $100 to win $200). This bet wins if Leverkusen wins the match and if it ends in a draw, you get refunded your wager and don’t lose the bet. Leverkusen hasn’t lost any of their last six matches against Bayern with three wins and three draws over that span. Eimer expects Leverkusen to carry over what’s worked in those matches to Wednesday to play tough in this clash of top Bundesliga clubs.
Leverkusen have the No. 2 goal scorer in the Bundesliga in Patrik Schick with 16 goals. He only trails Kane (21 goals), but Leverkusen have held the elite Englishman without a goal over their three matchups this season. Bayern have only scored once over those three matches and the two squads most recently played a 0-0 draw on Feb. 15. Leverkusen haven’t lost any of their past eight matches, and Eimer sees value in that streak to continue on Wednesday.
