UEFA Champions League picks for Dynamo Kyiv vs. Benfica
Before you tune in to Tuesday's match, you need to see the UEFA Champions League picks from soccer insider Martin Green. After working in the sports betting industry for several years, Green became a professional sports writer and handicapper and has covered the game worldwide. Since then, his European soccer picks have been spot-on. Green has generated almost $35,000 for $100 bettors since the 2017-18 season, and he has his finger on the pulse of the game all over the globe.
For Dynamo Kyiv vs. Benfica, Green is backing Benfica to cover the spread at -125 odds. Benfica controlled the pace of play in the first leg and maintained the majority of possession against Dynamo Kyiv. Benfica had 86% pass accuracy in that match, which led to multiple scoring opportunities. Benfica also had double the number of corner kicks in the first leg, further showing its offensive superiority.
Benfica has yet to lose a game this season, winning their first five fixtures across all competitions. The Portuguese side has been able to secure those positive results thanks to a disciplined backline. In fact, Benfica has conceded just one goal in their last four fixtures across all competitions. In addition, Benfica's efficiency in the attacking third has been on full display this season, scoring two or more goals in four of their last five fixtures.
"Benfica has more than enough quality to merit a place in the Champions League group stage, and they should secure that by closing out a comfortable victory on Tuesday," Green told SportsLine.
