Wednesday’s Champions League Best Bets: Young Boys vs. Manchester City
Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook
Young Boys (+1300) vs. Manchester City (-525), DRAW (+700) | 3.5 (+120/-145)
The largest favorite on the board sees Manchester City as a -525 moneyline favorite against Young Boys. This Group G tie is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. ET from Wankdorf Stadium in Bern, Switzerland.
The reigning champs are in firm control of Group F, which is the only thing that makes me nervous about laying two goals with them. However, they need a morale-boosting victory, so maybe they’ll pour it on against an inferior opponent.
In terms of xGA, Young Boys have a mark of 5.2 through two matches. Their task is taking on a Manchester City club that has posted an xG mark of 6.3, the highest amongst all Champions League clubs through two matches. They’ve been on a tear in the UCL, winning both contests 3-1. That includes a 3-1 road win over RB Leipzig. Considering Pep Guardiola’s squad was able to control 68.2 percent of the possession against Leipzig, I can only imagine what they’ll do against a Young Boys side that’s just 2-2-1 in their last five matches. I’ll lay the two goals with the champs.
Bet: Manchester City -2.0 (-115)
