UEFA Champions League picks for Bayern Munich vs. Salzburg

Before tuning into Wednesday’s Champions League clash, you need to see the Bayern Munich vs. FC Salzburg picks from SportsLine’s soccer insider Jon Eimer. Eimer is a high-volume bettor who has vast knowledge of leagues and players across the globe. Since joining SportsLine, Eimer 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. Red Bull Salzburg, Eimer is betting over 3.5 goals at +105 odds. These clubs faced off during the 2020-21 UCL group stage, when both games were entertaining, high-scoring affairs. Bayern routed Salzburg 6-2 in the first game and then 3-1 in the second despite playing with 10 men for over a quarter of the match. This season, both squads are led by their overpowering offenses, as Bayern Munich leads Germany’s Bundelisga with 70 goals (3.18 per match), while Salzburg leads Austria’s Bundesliga with 44 goals (2.32 per match).

Bayern’s scoring prowess in its domestic league has carried over to the Champions League, where it is also the leading scorer. It has scored 3.67 goals per game and its matches have averaged 4.12 total goals. Meanwhile, Bayern’s defense will be depleted with goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and defender Alphonso Davies unavailable. That should allow Salzburg to get on the board, but Eimer wouldn’t rule out Bayern eclipsing 3.5 goals on its own.

“Led offensively by the best goal scorer in the world, Robert Lewandowski, Bayern’s matches have seen over 3.5 goals match total in six of their last seven matches, with Bayern scoring four-plus in four of those matches,” Eimer told SportsLine. “This team arguably has the most dominant frontline in all of soccer right now, and they are known for showing up in Champions League, as we saw with them running through teams during the qualifying stages.”
