Champions league odds and bettingtips from bwin
Today, Wednesday the other two quarter finals is going to be played and it is going to be decided what two teams will join Barcelona and Inter Milan in the semi-finals. Both today’s game is very interesting according to the pre conditions and the odds. I think that it is almost 50-50 which team will go true between Manchester United and Bayern Munchen. Between Lyon and Bordeaux of course Lyon has a favour since they won the first match with 3 – 1.
In this texts I will give you my best bettingtips in these two matches, not only 1-x-2 but even other bets that I find interesting since there is a great selection of betting opportunities.
Here are the odds (from bwin champions league betting) for the first of today’s two matches:
Girondins de Bordeaux vs. Olympique Lyon, odds: home win: 1.95 draw 3.30 away win: 3.80
My bettingtips: Bordeaux vs. Lyon draw @ 3.30 in odds
The first match between these two teams in Lyon was a fantastic game. There where lots of chances in both ways and it could have ended 4 – 3 or something like that. Now it ended 3 – 1 after some magnificent saves from both goal keepers (especially Lloris in Lyons goal).
I have a feeling that this can be just as good as the first one since Bordeaux is forced to go forward from the beginning. If Bordeaux want to go trough to the semi finals they have to win with 2 – 0 or three goals margin. If this game ends 3 – 1 after ordinary time we will have extra time and maybe penalty shoot outs.
And with that in mind Bordeaux is forced to attack from the start, which will give Lyon nice opportunities to play on counter attacks. My feeling is that Bordeaux is small favourites just as the odds are placed from bwin, but they are a bit too big favourites to be valuable betting on. But Bordeaux have pretty bad results and form in the league and that’s a fact against them. Another is that Lyon has more experience from this type of games since they have way more European cup games in Champions League then Bordeaux last years. Even if Bordeaux starts this game best and score they have to keep attacking for a second goal which will give Lyon chances on the other half as well. So I think that draw feels like a good bet and 3.30 in odds feels like a valuable odds.
Total score in the game – Over 2, 5 goals @ 2.05 in odds
This is another bettingtips that really feels good according to me today. I have a strong feeling that this will be an offensive game with lots of chances both ways and no matter which team scores first we will have attacking football from at least one side. I was pretty surprised when I saw that over 2,5 goals paid this much in odds. It might bee that the betting companies feel that Lyon will try to play with all players behind the ball and defend their lead from the first match. But with the first match in mind I feel that odds at 2,05 for at least three goals in this game feel really interesting and a very good bet. I strongly recommend this bet today!
Manchester United vs. B Munchen, odds: home win: 1.72 draw: 3.60 away win: 4.00
Bettingtips: Manchester United vs. B Munchen, home win @ 1.72 in odds
Manchester United had the lead until the last fifteen minutes of this game when the German side suddenly got an unexpected equalizer and then won the game in the last minute of stoppage time. That goal puts Manchester United in a tricky position since they have to go for a win today. But not only that – in the same minute as the goal came Man United’s best player, Wayne Rooney, got injured and will most likely miss this game.
Even though Rooney misses this game I think that United will beat Bayern Munchen in this game. Man United where the best side in the first game and is always strong home at Old Trafford. And now they have to go for a win which means that they won’t play for a 0 – 0, something that I think they would have played for if they would manage to play 1 – 1 in the first game.
There are lots of potential goal scorers in Manchester United even though Rooney is away and my guess is that they will win with 1 – 0 or 2 – 0. Even if B Munchen scores the first goal United will make it to an extra time by scoring twice which means that they still have good chances to make it trough to the semi-finals.
After Manchester United’s loss against Chelsea in the league last Saturday I have heard lots of people discuss that Manchester United probably will be eliminated in this round but I have a different feeling. I think that the home crowd will help the red devils to reach next round.
Good luck with your Champions League betting
