Wednesday’s UEFA Champions League Predictions & Picks, Including Napoli vs. Ajax & Rangers vs. Liverpool

It is Matchday 5 of Champions League action and we have another big slate on the cards. The groups are starting to take shape and it is must-win time for a couple of teams if they have any hope of advancing.

We have a couple of great matchups and some blowouts scheduled so let’s find some value!

Tuesday’s Champions League Predictions & Picks

Napoli vs. Ajax Pick: Over 3 | -145 at DraftKings

12:45 p.m. ET

Everyone is on this over for good reason. Napoli are absolutely rolling, winners of eight straight matches and fresh off a 6-1 smashing of this same Ajax team. Ajax can wrap u the group with 3 points in what is sure to be a goal-fest.

Ajax has to get a result here as they sit 3 points back of Liverpool for the second slot to advance. Liverpool face the bottom-feeding Rangers so this matchup is even more important for Ajax to get at least 1 point.

As dominant as Napoli has been, they have conceded a goal in each of the last five matches. Look for this Over to push at the very worst. 

Plzen vs. Bayern Pick: Bayern -2.5 | +115 at DraftKings

3 p.m. ET

Yep, why not? Bayern are head and shoulders the best team on the pitch. Bayern will be missing several normal starters for rest and injuries giving the subs a chance to shine.

Mathys Tel and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting will have their chance to shine here. Bayern can wrap up the group tomorrow with 3 points as heavy favorites at -650 on the moneyline. Plzen are a great team domestically but have only managed 1 goal in the tournament (*cough* Barcelona *cough*). I see the young guns shining tomorrow with the chance given.  

Rangers vs. Liverpool: Liverpool -1.5 | -110 at DraftKings

3 p.m. ET

Well, here we go again. What Liverpool is going to show up today? This is more of a bet against the Rangers than for Liverpool.

The Rangers have dropped all three matches so far in the Champions League tournament with an 0:9 goal difference. Liverpool just dominated this same Ranger’s team at home 2-0 but felt like 8-0. Fresh off a heartbreaking loss to Arsenal, look for Liverpool to rebound
