Before turning into Wednesday's match, you need to see the UEFA Champions League picks from soccer insider Mike Goodman. A soccer editor for AP Sports, Goodman is at the forefront of the advanced statistics and analytics movement in soccer, with eight years of experience working with cutting-edge predictive statistical analysis. Among his credits are work for FiveThirtyEight and StatsBomb, and he has immense experience diving deep into the analytics involved in dissecting the sport.
For Juventus vs. Benfica, Goodman is backing Benfica to win at +225 on the money line. Juventus are struggling mightily after opening Champions League play with a loss. They have just one win in their last five in Italian Serie A play and fallen to eighth in the Italian Serie A table with just 10 points on the season.
Benfica, meanwhile, are rolling in Liga Portugal. They've won all six matches thus far and own a plus-11 goal differential. Goodman envisions a tight, low-scoring matchup, and that plays into the hands of the capable underdogs, making Benfica a strong play at this price.
"Markets haven't really caught up to just how poorly Juventus are playing but on top of that, expect this to be a particularly slow scoring affair, as Juventus continue to prioritize defense at the expense of goals," Goodman told SportsLine.'Stream the match now here.
