Punters should pile on Pedro to strike first with Barca likely to bash BATE tonight!
Published on 06/12/2011 19:09
Predictably, Barcelona are priced up at extremely prohibitive odds – 1.30 is the best offer in town with 888sport.com and Ladbrokes – for their encounter with BATE Borisov at the Camp Nou tonight, despite the distinct possibility of Pep Guardiola fielding an under-strength side.
Indeed, the Blaugrana have already sailed through to the knockout stages, unsurprisingly, and the Catalan giants have much bigger fish to fry with arch enemies Real Madrid to do battle with …
Czech out a cracking bet for AC Milan's trip to the Synot Tip Aréna this evening
Published on 06/12/2011 18:55
AC Milan have not been particularly effective on the road in this season’s Champions League and, given that the reigning champions have already qualified along with Barcelona for the knockout stages of the competition, they may well be thwarted when square up against Viktoria Plzen at the Synot Tip Aréna this evening.
Pavel Vrba’s men lost the reverse fixture 2-0 at the San Siro, and were subsequently hammered at home by Barca, but the Czech champions earned …
Arsenal's Chance Of Beating Dortmund Revolves Around Van Persie
Published on 23/11/2011 10:32
Arsenal can book their place in the next round of the Champions League with a win at the Emirates on Wednesday night but top spot in the group cannot be guaranteed until the final match. Last season Arsenal finished runners up of their group and drew Barcelona in the second round, Barcelona have knocked Arsenal out of the competition for the last two years and Arsenal will be keen to avoid Barcelona and other likely group winners when the draw is made for the second round, a win …
Bayer Leverkusen Likely To Be Very Tough Opponents For Under Pressure Chelsea
Published on 23/11/2011 10:00
Chelsea have managed to win just once in their last six 90 minute matches and three our of four league games lost means the pressure is well and truely on their new manager Andre Villas-Boas. Chelsea currently top their Champions League group though and can secure top spot if they beat Bayer Leverkusen, who sit two points behind Chelsea in second. Should Chelsea lose this match then doubts will not only creep in about Chelsea's ability to qualify from the group but there…
Napoli Not To Be Underestimated Against Full Strength Man City
Published on 22/11/2011 09:59
Man City may be cruising in the Premiership but qualification for the knockout stage of the Champions League is still far from guaranteed in their maiden season in the competition. City's remaining matches in the group are away to Napoli and home to Bayern Munich, a loss here would leave City needing to beat Bayern Munich to be able to qualify. A draw would still leave City with problems but a win guarantees City a place in the next round with a game to spare so we should…
Rooney Not 100% To Line Up For Man Utd Against Benfica
Published on 21/11/2011 16:28
Man Utd currently top Champions League Group C despite having won only half their games in the competition so far, only one goal keeps them ahead of Tuesday's opponents Benfica which makes this game a crucial decider for who wins the group and avoids the big guns in the next round. The first game between the sides was 1-1 and whichever side wins this game will be three points above the other with a better head to head record so the loser cannot qualify as group winners.

Can Barcelona be considered good value at around 7-4 to win the 2011/12 Champions League?
Published on 07/11/2011 19:48
Despite the strength of the Premier League, which is widely perceived as the most competitive league in world football, the first three clubs in the betting to prevail in this season’s Champions League are all based outside of England.
In terms of strength in depth, it’s hard to argue that the Premiership isn’t the most hotly-contested league, but equally it’s hard to argue with the odds compilers’ unanimous assessment that Barcelona, Real Madrid…
Man City May Have To Settle For A Draw Against Villarreal
Published on 02/11/2011 10:40
Out of all the English sides in this year's Champions League Man City still look the least likely to qualify, they were handed a very tough group and if not for a last minute Sergio Aguero winner in the first match against tonight's opposition Man City would be in a perrilous position. Man City are still outside the top two in Group A but they will be hopeful of a second ever Champions League win against a team who has lost all three games in the competition this…
Do Lyon possess the sang-froid to cope with rampant Real Madrid on Wednesday night?
Published on 01/11/2011 19:31
Lyon have yet to lose at home in four previous meetings with Real Madrid, but they will be very much the underdogs when Jose Mourinho’s men come calling at the Stade Gerland on Wednesday night.
Los Blancos are the only side in the Champions League this season still with a 100 per cent record in the competition intact, something they preserved with utter aplomb when thrashing Lyon on Matchday 3 a fortnight ago, and the Spanish giants are already virtually assured of their …
Les Dogues will have too much bite for Inter Milan at the San Siro on Wednesday
Published on 01/11/2011 19:15
There’s no doubt that the Champions League group matches being played on Wednesday night have a more competitive look compared to those the day before, and one of the tightest games may be at the San Siro where Inter Milan, winners of this tournament in 2009/10, play host to French side Lille.
Going into this match the French champions have yet to record a victory in Group B, but there’s is certainly cause for optimism for the visitors. Indeed, Inter currently lead …
Back Bayern to sail past Napoli in their Champions League clash on Wednesday
Published on 01/11/2011 19:00
Bayern Munich will all but seal their place in the knockout stages of the Champions League if they see off Italian side Napoli at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday night and, ominously for the visitors, Jupp Heynckes’ men have won nine of their last 10 matches in this competition on home soil.
The side from Naples earned a highly creditable draw at home against Bayern a fortnight ago and, also to their credit, they’ve kept clean sheets five of their last games…
Bank on Barcelona to seal place in Champions League knockout stages with ease against Plzen tonight
Published on 01/11/2011 18:47
Barcelona beat Czech Republic champions Viktoria Plzen 2-0 at the Camp Nou in their Champions League encounter a fortnight ago, and Pep Guardiola’s men can cement their place in the knockout stages by winning the return leg this evening.
The Catalan outfit have lost just one of their last seven away matches in Europe’s premier club tournament, and while Plzen are unbeaten in four matches in this competition at the Synot Tip Aréna this term, in that quartet…
Man Utd Can Beat Otelul Galati By Three Or More Goals
Published on 01/11/2011 17:46
Man Utd take on Otelul Galati on Wednesday night, the only team who Man Utd have beaten in the Champions League since their defeat against Barcelona in the Champions League Final in May. With home advantage Sir Alex Ferguson will be confident that his side can register a comfortable victory here and whilst a win puts them in a strong position as far as qualification is concerned, they will need other results to go their way to top the group this week.

Arsenal Strongly Fancied For Second Win Over Marseille
Published on 01/11/2011 17:11
Arsenal currently top Group F with a one point lead over the second placed team and tonight's opponents Marseille. A win here would be a huge result for Arsenal and would make top spot almost assured which should at least mean Arsenal avoid Barcelona, the team that has eliminated them for the past two seasons, in the next round.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has been given a much needed defensive boost with both Thomas Vermaelen and Carl Jenkinson being passed fit…
Champions League betting preview: AC Milan to batter BATE in Belarus this afternoon?
Published on 01/11/2011 08:23
BATE Borisov have failed to win a Champions League game in nine previous attempts and it’s unlikely that they’ll buck that trend when Italian champions AC Milan come calling at the Stadyen Dynama in their Group H encounter this afternoon.
The Belarusian outfit have scored just once in their three matches so far in this season’s tournament, and were readily outpointed by the Rossoneri at the San Siro last month, losing 2-0, which preceded a 5-0 thrashing at…

Published on 19/10/2011 08:26
Barcelona and AC Milan look poised to all but book their places in the knockout stages of the Champions League this evening when they face Viktoria Plzen and BATE Borisov respectively. The match at the San Siro may not be quite as one-sided as the one at the Camp Nou, but the Rossoneri should ultimately have far too many guns for the Belarusian champions.
Viktor Goncharenko’s charges have been found wanting defensively in a major way in this tournament following just two …
Viktoria Plzen in line for a thumping at the Camp Nou tonight!
Published on 19/10/2011 08:15
Funnily enough, the last time a club from the Czech Republic paid a trip to Catalonia to face Barcelona at the Camp Nou the club in question, Sparta Prague, was thumped 5-0, and one Pep Guardiola was amongst the scorers.
Now as coach of Europe’s outstanding team, it is nigh-on impossible to envisage anything other than a similarly facile mauling when the Spanish giants meet Viktoria Plzen for the first time in the clubs’ history tonight in their Champions League…
