We’re locked in. The stakes are rising.

Today’s slate? Heavyweight matchups, wide-open groups, and trapdoors everywhere.

Buckets and Ian have 9 plays between them. The Viewer Bet is in.

Let’s get to work.

🕛 12 PM ET – 🇿🇦 Mamelodi Sundowns v Borussia Dortmund 🇩🇪

🪣 Buckets: Guirassy 2+ Shots on Target (+105)
☠️ Ian: Brandt to Score or Assist (-110)

Dortmund needs a result to stay viable in this competition while Sundowns are thru with a win. Guirassy’s due. Brandt’s been everywhere. This one’s about firepower.

🕒 3 PM ET – 🇮🇹 Inter Milan v Urawa Red Diamonds 🇯🇵

🪣 Buckets: Inter Over 2.5 Team Total (+105)
☠️ Ian: Lautaro Martinez Anytime Goalscorer (+105)

Buckets expects a rout. Ian expects Lautaro to do Lautaro things. Urawa’s defense better pack a lunch or they could be out.

🕕 6 PM ET – 🇧🇷 Fluminense v Ulsan Hyundai 🇰🇷

🪣 Buckets: Fluminense ML & Over 1.5 Goals (-115)
☠️ Ian: Jhon Arias Anytime Goalscorer (+215)
☠️ Ian: Over 2.5 Total Goals (-105)

Arias was buzzing in Game 1. Buckets is back on the Flu train. Ian thinks we clear the total before 70 minutes. Note - these odds have been shifting wildly over the past 48 hours. Live odds can be found here.

🕘 9 PM ET – 🇦🇷 River Plate v Monterrey 🇲🇽

🪣 Buckets: Both Teams to Score (-120)
☠️ Ian: Mastantuono 2+ Shots on Target (+190)

If you’re not watching Franco Mastantuono, you will be soon. Monterrey’s no pushover, but River’s pressure breaks teams, and they are thru with a win.

💬 Viewer Button Pick

👑 Today’s Viewer Pick comes from one of our favorite long-time BucketHeads, Reed Phillips, who kept it classic:

Clean. Sharp. Confident. A parlay with purpose and two teams that need to finish the job.
