Champions League ties offer tasty treat for football betting punters
|
|

The quarter-finals of the UEFA
Champions League begin next week with two gripping ties that are bound to get
the heart pumping for football punters out there.
Barcelona host
Atletico Madrid in an all-Spanish affair and
Manchester
United look to do the impossible and overcome Bayern Munich in their first
leg on Tuesday.
A day later, Paris Saint-Germain entertain Jose
Mourinhos Chelsea while Real Madrid wrap up the ties against Borussia
Dortmund.
For plenty of punters, the entertainment wont just stop
with the football, for there is some serious profit to be made from these ties.
And, for the first time in a long time, predicting the outcome to each
first-leg game should be straight forward.
Those who bet with

will be aware how lucrative a successful accumulator can be. Accas are the best
way of backing dead-certs and generating a potentially hefty profit from them.
They involve backing the results of a number of matches, all of which must come
through.
This midweek, accumulator seekers could do a lot worse than
following the Champions League, so lets dissect the probable outcomes on
Tuesday and Wednesday.
Barcelona rampaged past Manchester City in
the previous knock-out round and are locked in a battle with Atletico for the
Liga title after scoring 12 goals in three home games. Madrid, meanwhile, are
in better form with five straight victories (as of Friday) but crucially these
sides have drawn their three head-to-heads this season.
Although
Atletico have not won at the Nou Camp since February 2006, the likelihood of a
draw this week especially considering this is only the first leg
is worth the 4.33 price.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich will now focus all
their attention on Europe after wrapping up the Bundesliga title last weekend.
The German champions should overpower Manchester United in midfield, stifle the
advances of lone forward Wayne Rooney and pick apart a defence that crumbled
against Manchester City last Tuesday night. At 1.44, Munich are as safe as bet
as any to win.
On Wednesday, assuming youre acca is still active,
a draw or narrow defeat for Chelsea is most likely in Paris, for PSG are
rampant at home and Mourinho is unlikely to dedicate too many men forward but
instead wait for the return leg to strike. Chelsea are confident enough to park
the Blue bus all night and carry a one-goal deficit back to Stamford Bridge,
and so PSG are a good win/draw bet at 1.28 on the Double Chance.
That
leaves rampant Real Madrid versus a Dortmund side that has lost its way in
recent weeks. Their 2-1 home defeat to Zenit in the previous round was enough
to still see Dortmund through but punters can expect Madrid to inflict the same
pain on last years Champions League finalists as Schalke received at the
hands of the Galacticos in February. Madrid to win, at 1.36, is the jewel in
your accumulator.
So, although two teams are no certainties to win their
matches, a Champions League accumulator is still the best way to bet on
European football this week.
