UEFA Champions League picks for Benfica vs. Barcelona
Before you tune in to Tuesday’s match, you need to see the Barcelona vs. Benfica picks from SportsLine’s proprietary European soccer model. Created by two Norwegians — professional poker player and sports bettor Jonas Gjelstad, and economics and engineering expert Marius Norheim — the model analyzes worldwide betting data and exploits market inefficiencies, helping its followers cash in. Since coming to SportsLine last year, the algorithm is up over $8,500.
For Barcelona vs. Benfica, the model is leaning under 2.5 goals. Dynamo Kyiv has been outclassed throughout the group stage, but Barcelona was only able to put in two goals against them in as many games. Additionally, Barcelona has scored just one goal in five of its last six matches across all competitions.
Benfica has had strong offensive performances in its two most recent domestic matches, but prior to that, had been ineffective going at the goal. In five of the seven matches played prior to November 7, Benfica had only scored one goal or was blanked. Rafa Silva and Everton have been particularly strong for Benfica over the last two games, as both have scored three goals during that stretch.
U.S. National Team player Sergino Dest has missed Barcelona’s last two league games with a hurt back, but has resumed training earlier this week. His availability would give a boost to Barca, as he had three assists in the five games prior to his injury. Otherwise, a number of other Barcelona players have been dealing with a variety of health issues, which could impact the pace of play Barca will bring.
