Tuesday brings us Valentine’s Day and the beginning of the knockout phase of the UEFA Champions Round of 16. Yes, the biggest Vegas online soccer betting sites steer us to a true toss-up of a matchup. This week, we plunge into some large UEFA Champions League Bets. Wagering sites allow us to wait a week for more MLS numbers. At VegasBetting, our attention gets diverted to PSG vs Bayern Munich. Can this clash deliver the hype in leg one?
PSG and Bayern Munich rumble in the UEFA Champions League Bets. If fans, experts, and bettors yearn for a contest featuring high-octane heat, this one may be it. PSG and Bayern Munich load up on goal scorers and can be labeled as a bit light on the defensive side of the ball. The pitch expects lots of transitional play as the two teams want to push the action whenever possible.
PSG dropped two games in the UEFA group stage, while Bayern went undefeated. Guess what? Throw those records out the window. With the knockout round here, at last, strategy becomes different. Aggregate becomes king, including the “road goal differential.” Game rationale dictates a little spice err pace to be elevated. PSG wants to show up in one of these tournaments and win. Naturally, this happened last week.
⌛️ The match is over.

So, some spun this as PSG resting err easy against Monaco. However, Monaco showed better form late and won its 14th game of the season in league play at PSG’s expense. Les Parisiens cause much worry that their best may falter again when it counts the most against Bayern Munich. Bayern beat them 1-0 in their last meeting, but that was almost two years ago.
Now, the UEFA Champions League Bets question, can Bayern keep the misery train of PSG rolling? Will the men from Paris find a way to get a leg up to advance to the quarterfinals? Or will Bayern get on the road to ending PSG’s run in the “Round of 16” again?
UEFA Champions League Bets know a clean sheet between these two teams is remote. This game will not be contested behind the walls of COVID with an empty stadium. Expect a sold-out crowd and an electric atmosphere. Consider PSG’s history over the past three years at UEFA. It is a dash of history with diminishing returns.
That is likely being kind. Three years ago, Bayern Munich won 1-0 in the 2020 final as Kingsley Coman hurt his former PSG team with the decisive goal. That helped the German team win the historic sextuple (six trophies in one year).

How does PSG fumble this? It feels like the question which has to be asked. Again, even with Messi and Mbappe, an outright win is far from certain on leg number one. Turning it on and off has not been Les Parisiens’ forte. Bayern Munich may face a hampered PSG team in some duress. The belief is PSG’s superstars will play, and Bayern will be ready. Thomas Muller knows the Bavarians got eliminated far too early last time around.
However, a leg up for both may not be easy on Tuesday. Watch this match on Tuesday, February 14th, via Paramount+ at 3:00 pm ET (streamed and live). The game starts in primetime in Paris. Some experts expect the PSG star power to shine through, but Bayern carries more talent than many anticipate. Hence, a draw is possible.
UEFA Champions League Bets like the idea of goals on Tuesday. Do Mbappe and Messi play against Bayern Munich? It becomes harder and harder to know who or what to believe here. Yes, PSG’s form has been weak. The French team has lost three out of their past seven matches in league play. After three consecutive draws, Bayern scored seven times in their last two matches.

The dilemmas for any bettor come down to the following. Do these teams come out loose or tight? Both have been apt to costly miscues, but Gaultier’s PSG made some colossal ones, especially last week against Monaco.
Despite this vast unknown, let’s take on this brute of a matchup in another way. Either this game features next to no scoring or goes bananas. The opening half expects to show us the way.
For the UEFA Champions League bets, a 2-2 draw could happen, or maybe even more than four goals.
Let’s prop up some UEFA picks. Props come in from Bovada online sportsbook with much love on Tuesday afternoon. It is part of a colossal day and night where several top leagues feature amazing clashes. This happens to be the crown jewel of those contests. While the 2-1 idea carries some weight, that 2-2 draw comes at +800. Taking one shot on the correct score is worth a tiny wager.
How about the odds of a Thomas Muller anytime goal and a Messi goal? That is right. Expect both leaders to tickle the nets on Tuesday in what could be a wild affair.
On this Valentine’s Day, use these betting site bonuses for some soccer with love. As we mentioned above, more matches mean more opportunities to cash in during the early week.
