Bayern Munich vs Boca Juniors picks from SBR's Gary Pearson ahead of Friday's Group C match:
Prediction: Bayern Munich win & Under 3.5 goals (+100 DraftKings)
"Bayern Munich have won five of their previous six matches, keeping a clean sheet in every victory. While they're enjoying a high-scoring, sound defensive run, Boca Juniors represents an intriguing test for the kings of the Bundesliga.
The Argentine side is tied for first in the Argentine Primera Division after losing just three of 16 matches. Despite their position atop the domestic league, Boca Juniors failed to score more than one goal in the four matches leading up to the tense 2-2 draw against Benfica on Monday.
That lack of offensive bite combined with Bayern's offensive dynamism should facilitate a 2-0 victory."
Best Bet: Harry Kane anytime goal (-150 FanDuel)
"I couldn't believe Kane failed to score when Bayern Munich bagged 10 goals. It was as astonishing as seeing butchers, bakers, and candlestick makers suit up for Auckland City. Not scoring should add fuel to Kane's goal-scoring fire.
And he was given chances. The England captain whiffed on a sitter early in the first half and should have scored at least two.
He'll be perfectly suited to thrive against a physical side like Boca Juniors, as Kane uses his body and positioning to protect the ball better than most and plays his best in chippy affairs.
Kane scored 38 goals over 47 matches this season, including 11 during 13 Champions League tilts."
