Brugge/Atalanta - Probably won't have action here unless I see something live. 3 of 4 first legs all went over w/ Brest/PSG pushing but that too could've easily went over if not for a couple VAR decisions and bounces. Think what we're seeing in these first round of knockouts is what we usually see in the first round of playoffs: the wide chasm in talent between the two teams. Thought Brest would put up a closer fight but PSG showed its' quality. Same w/ Juventus and even Dortmund, who has a penchant for laying eggs all over the place throughout the season. This game feels different. Since Brugge's epic 2H collapse to Dortmund on matchday 1 (which eerily resembled yesterday's game in Portugal), Brugge has held the likes of Aston Villa, Sporting, and Juventus to single digits in the rest of their group stage matches at home, winning the first two and drawing goalless against the Italians. I'm not sure what the result will be tomorrow but I think we'll see a dull goalless 1H before one or two goals come in the 2H. If you remember the Bergamo Boys' run in Europa last season, they drew 1-1 in the first legs in Lisbon and Marseille before finishing them off at home and I think Gasperini would be fine w/ that (yea I remember what they did to Pool in Anfield, don't remind me). Brugge doesn't have the firepower to get into an open match w/ the Italians so I think they'll turn this into a slow grinding match that has worked for them so far in this competition.
Celtic/Bayern - ALL OVER THIS MATCH not just from first glance but Celtic's starting GK Kasper Schmeichel is possibly out tomorrow w/ a back issue. If he cannot go, Viljami Sinisalo, a 23-yo who just got handed his first start against the Raith Rovers in the Scottish Cup, would start. Yea, facing Bayern in the first leg of the most cutthroat football competition on the continent may be a slight step up for kid from the weekend. Took the Bayern -1.5 spread (-101) while having some second thoughts as Bayern has played Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde on the road this season but the possibility of missing someone as experienced Schmeichel in between the posts when your defense isn't exactly a fortress doesn't bode well. Whatever the case may be, I'm sure Bayern's midfield will be running over the hosts w/ the Germans peppering 25+ shots (35 shots against Slovan last CL match, 30 shots against Feyenoord in that shock loss in the Netherlands, 21 shots against Shakhtar banging in 5 goals, and 29 shots while scoring 9 against Dinamo Zagreb) by the time the final whistle blows. That being said, I took Kane 5+ shots (-115), 3+ SOG (+200), 4+ SOG (+500) and Musiala to get 1+ ast (+300) in a match the books expect to see goals and will probably be all one way traffic. Fun fact: Kane has scored against Schmeichel a whopping 18 times in his career including a hat trick the first time they played in the top flight, a four-goal outing in 2017 in a 6-1 drubbing, and in each of their last five matches. Now nursing an injury, wouldn't be surprised to see Kane add to his tally. Hoping I don't get

. The irony of it all. So yea, I'm on AC Milan -0.5 (-124), AC Milan TT over 1.5 (-105), Santiago Gimenez 2+ SOG (+150), 3+ SOG (+600), 2+ goals (+700), and 3+ goals (+3300) (I like to wait for better odds live for AGS so will probably be on that for Gimenez). Gimenez already has an assist and goal in his two matches for AC Milan and w/ Pulisic, Leao, and Felix (sheesh) on the flanks and supporting him chances will be a plenty.
out there today I3C1H, I like em. I love Bayern today too and am on them. I have Gimenez as a notable over in my thread as well. I didn't take him yet, but that could change
