Soccer DFS plays for Saturday's Champions League action

Soccer is officially back, and this is the best time of the year — Champions League soccer began Friday, and with it soccer DFS action. It has taken months and months for the restart of everything, but we are finally back in action with a two-game slate Saturday. And it’s not just any two-game slate, but one that really has some firepower in terms of teams that are playing, as well as elite talent all over the pitch.

Bayern and Chelsea square off in what should be an exhilarating yet meaningless match while Barcelona hosts Napoli in one that the outcome could be decided in just a few specs of individual brilliance. These will be great watches, regardless of whether you’re a soccer fan.

The original tournament was canceled back in March due to the coronavirus, but we are back in the second leg of the round of 16. We already have a majority of the teams that have made it to the quarterfinals, so these teams are the last to play before the quarterfinals begin. With that, let’s jump into the team matchups.

Chelsea/Bayern

Bayern have the most comfortable of leads over Chelsea, having three away goals and leading 3-0 on aggregate. Chelsea has an uphill battle and will likely come out guns blazing in hopes of making a miracle happen. The match should be wide open with a heap of goals to follow. Look to the Bayern attackers for bankable goal production while there could be some sneaky value with Chelsea.

Top targets: Robert Lewandowski (10.9), Serge Gnabry (8.0), Thomas Müller (7.6), Ivan Perišic (5.8), Mason Mount (4.7), Callum Hudson-Odoi (4.5), Reece James (4.2), Emerson (3.6)

Napoli/Barcelona

Tied at 1-1, both teams have everything to gain and everything to lose. Both sides will be fighting extremely hard, and the match may even seem like a puzzle at times. Barcelona will dominate the ball, but Napoli is no slouch, especially on the counter-attack. I feel both teams find the back of the net here while Lionel Messi gives us a show.

Top targets: Lionel Messi (10.7), Lorenzo Insigne (7.1), Dries Mertens (6.9)
