Champions League Soccer Picks

Round 5 of the European Champions League soccer tournament is set for tonight:  There are 2 soccer games in our focus to present to you - in Game 1 of our selection, CSKA Moscow hosts Bayer L.  A win on the road in Round 4 has placed Bayer Leverkusen in a great position to qualify from Group E. They are 2 points behind the leaders Monaco and undefeated.  CSKA is currently bottom of the group and must win their last 2 games in order to qualify for the next round. I expect both teams to play some good defense in this match, so with that said, I pick the option "Alternative Goal Line" (Under 3.5 Goals). The 2nd game of our selection features Sporting and Real Madrid. An unexpected slip up in round 4 makes this one a 'must-win' game for Real Madrid - they finished a 3-3 tie at Legia Warsaw. Madrid now find themselves 2 points behind the Group F leaders Borussia Dortmund. Sporting is 3rd in the group with only 3 points and 3 losses. With that said, I expect Real Madrid to win this match: I pick them in the Money Line (ML) with the opt. "Draw No Bet", i.e., if the game is tied after 90 mins., the Bet is Void. [Unless the amount to bet is specified, our predictions are generally made for a $100 wager.]

Special Proposition: 2-team Parlay - Parlays are single wagers [of each selected game above] that are linked together, all of which must win for the Parlay to be graded as a Winner. Parlays are actually accumulators, which are widely used in popular European betting markets. The odds on parlays are greater than individual side, selected above. In our case, the 2-team Parlay, consisting of the proposed matches, gives us the following odds: (1.33 x 1.27) = 1.69. If for some reason, any of the Single Bets above (participating in the Parlay) is Void, the odds would be reduced.

UPDATE November 22, 2016 -  FINAL Results:  CSKA Moscow  1-1  Bayer Leverkusen.  Game 1 of our selection just ended: CSKA Moscow and Bayer Leverkusen settled in a 1-1 draw; a low scoring game, as we expected and predicted well - they did not score over 3.5 goals, clear and easy winner for us. Our winning streak right now is 5 in a row. Going back to the game:  CSKA missed out on a top-2 finish after the draw (they needed a win to keep their hope alive). The visitors will be through to the next round, if Tottenham loses at Monaco tonight.  Bayer's player Volland (No. 31) opened the score in the 16th-min., from a close range (he was clearly an offside). Look at his name - "Volland" = 86 in English Kabbalah #3. Note, "Black Magic" = 86 in Latin Gematria. Then, No. 66-Natcho, from CSKA, restored 1-1 parity from a penalty spot in the 76th-min. 66 is always "in play"; Wait, his name "Natcho"=22 in Latin Red. Gematria. Note, 66 is a multiple of 22 (3 x 22), so they both, are deeply connected.  Do not forget, today is Nov 22  - what a coincidence, a guy with 22-Gematria scores on the 22nd. But, that's not the end with the 22: Look at the sequence "Natcho - goal - seven-six"= 88 in Latin Reduction Gematria. 88 is also a multiple of 22 (4 x 22).  Nevertheless, his name "Natcho"=63  also, in English Kabbalah. Never mind that "six six six"(666) = 63 as well, in English Kabbalah. (all those codes are "in play" all the time, just to mess up your mind).  Game 2: Sporting  1-2  Real  Madrid. Real Madrid qualified for the next round today, as we expected - Varane scored the opener for the Spanish team from a close range. The hosts leveled through Adrien Silva's penalty, but Real restored the lead through late Benzema's header. Madrid reached the last 16 of the CL for the 20th season running, knocking out Sporting out of the competition. This was another easy winner for us today, as we also 'nailed' the 2-team parlay, consisting of both games, i.e., our winning streak is now 7 in a row.
