Champions League picks for Red Star Belgrade vs. Maccabi Haifa

Before you tune in to Tuesday’s match, you need to see the UEFA Champions League picks from soccer insider Jon Eimer. Eimer is a high-volume bettor who has vast knowledge of leagues and players across the globe. Since joining SportsLine, Eimer has covered the English Premier League, Serie A, the FA Cup and much more. He is 204-187-7 on his SportsLine picks in 2022, which includes a run of 51-34-1 on his last 86 picks (59.3 percent) for a profit of more than $900 for $100 bettors.

For Maccabi Haifa vs. Red Star Belgrade, Eimer is picking over 2.5 total goals, a bet that returns -125. The first match between these two eclipsed 2.5 goals just 40 minutes into the contest and then added two more goals in the second half. Red Star is an anomaly when it comes to scoring, as they currently lead the Serbian SuperLiga in goals (21) despite ranking last in matches played (five). Meanwhile, Maccabi Haifa has yet to begin their domestic league, but they topped the Israeli Premier League with 62 goals last year, which was 14 more than anyone else.

Usually when a team holds an aggregate lead, they tend to sit back and play defensively. But that won’t be the case with Haifa, as they know Red Star will be on the attack for the full 90 minutes. Thus, with both teams pushing forward, this should be a highly entertaining, high-scoring, game.

“There has been only a single match outside of friendlies where we saw a team able to keep Red Star from scoring in their last 40 games,” Eimer told SportsLine. “This was Rangers in the UCL matches last year. Clean-sheeting Red Star is so incredibly difficult, this will force Maccabi Haifa to continue to play offensively, and try to outscore their opponents once more, rather than play for a draw.” Stream the match now here.
