UEFA Champions League picks for Besiktas vs. Dortmund
Before you tune in to Wednesday’s match, you need to see the Dortmund vs. Besiktas picks from European 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 over $36,000 for $100 bettors since the 2017-18 season, and he has his finger on the pulse of the game all over the globe.
For Dortmund vs. Besiktas, Green is predicting Dortmund to win and two or more goals to be scored in the match (-125). Green notes that Besiktas is off to a strong start in Super Lig play, but hasn’t been tested by major rivals such as Fenerbahce, Galatasaray or Trabzonspor yet. Besiktas, while strong in defense, “lacks the sort of quality that Dortmund can call upon,” according to Green.
Dortmund’s strongest weapon is striker Erling Haaland, who has 13 goals in club play and led the Champions League with 10 goals last year. Green thinks he has a strong chance to find the net multiple times in this matchup, helping the total get to two goals and also leading to a comfortable win for Dortmund.
