Before you lock in your Borussia Dortmund vs. Real Madrid picks or UEFA Champions League predictions, you need to see what soccer bettor Jon "Buckets" Eimer has to say.
Eimer is a high-volume bettor who has vast knowledge of leagues and players across the globe. Since joining SportsLine, he has covered the English Premier League, Serie A, the FA Cup and much more. He was red-hot in 2023, going 248-234-12 for a profit of $2,593 for $100 bettors. That included an 86-59-5 record in Premier League picks for a profit of $3,463.
Eimer knows Real Madrid have an array of offensive weapons at their disposal, as four members of the club have recorded four or more goals during Champions League play. Striker Joselu and Brazilian forwards Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior share fifth place in the competition with five tallies apiece, while midfielder Jude Bellingham - who spent three seasons with Dortmund before joining Los Blancos for the 2023-24 campaign - has converted four times. The 23-year-old Vinicius Junior also is tied for first in the UCL with five assists.
The expert also has taken into account that Borussia Dortmund have posted a clean sheet in half of their 12 Champions League matches, including both legs of their semifinal tie against PSG after being outscored by the Parisians 3-1 in their two group-stage meetings. Forward Niclas Fullkrug grabbed the club lead in goals in the competition when he netted his third in BVB's 1-0 triumph over PSG in the first leg of the semis. Austrian midfielder Marcel Sabitzer has converted once in the UCL but is tied with Vinicius Junior for the tournament lead with five assists.
