For some sides this week’s Champions League game is an opportunity to guarantee qualification and for others it a must win game to keep hopes of qualification alive. Check out all the latest football betting tips in our football section.
The one side who is desperate for a win is Liverpool who will be looking at a UEFA Cup run at best if they fail to do so. Betfred’s 2/7 makes no appeal considering how much Liverpool have struggled and a much better bet comes in the correct score market where Liverpool are 6/1 to win 1-0 with Bet365. Liverpool haven’t exactly been scoring for fun recently and Besiktas are no mugs, even away from home where their significant home advantage is lost.
Another side well capable of scraping a 1-0 win are Celtic who host Benfica. Celtic have a very strong home record in Europe and rarely concede. Meanwhile Benfica continually struggle to score with all of their goals coming in the last five minutes of their games. Celtic should just shade this and 1-0 is well worth a bet at 6/1 with Bet365.
Also on Tuesday Chelsea travel to Germany to face Schalke and one man who has a point to prove to many is Frank Lampard who seems to have fallen foul of his international fans. Since his return from injury he has been scoring for fun and at 15/2 with Betfred to open the scoring he looks a good value bet. The 11/10 about a Chelsea win at Blue Square is also worth considering.
On Wednesday Rangers face Barcelona at the Nou Camp and Barcelona should win this one comfortably. Thierry Henry should get the bulk of the chances and he is confidently selected to score the first goal at 4/1 with Blue Square.
Manchester United host Dynamo Kiev having beaten them easily a couple of weeks ago and this could be a bit of a rout. Deciding how many United will score is no enviable task so stick to backing anytime goalscorers. Wayne Rooney is 6/5 and Cristiano Ronaldo is 6/4. Back both and just one of them scoring will yield a profit, although both should score.
Finally, Arsenal travel to Slavia Prague having already put seven past them at the Emirates Stadium. There is no stopping the Gunners at the moment and certainly no stopping their sensational midfielder Cesc Fabregas. He has to be backed to score the first goal at 15/2 with Bet365. You can back each way for extra security, he is bound to be amongst the goals, of which there should be many.
