Expert Betting Tips

Bayer's in the top eight, but five other teams have 13 points, so if they don't win on Wednesday, they'll probably miss out on the last 16 f the Champions League. Sparta needs nothing but a victory, and a solid one or even a shutout, to make it impossible for their rivals to beat the Germans on goal difference. Sparta's not the strongest team in the division, so they're pretty much out of the playoff picture. This match is basically a nice practice session for them, but that's about it. We're rooting for Bayer in this match, and we think they'll probably win.
