Bayern Munich head the betting before the return of Europe’s premier club competition on Tuesday night. Joe Dyer runs through the latest odds…
The Champions League returns to our screens on Tuesday with the first pair of last-16 fixtures and we have an early chance to look at two genuine contenders when Manchester City host Barcelona.
That clash pits the third and fourth favourites against each other, though at 6.611/2 Barca are a far shorter price to win the trophy than City (14.5n/a). Accordingly, the Spanish side are shorter than City in the match odds, trading at 2.568/5 to win with the Premier League title favourites 2.982/1
The winner market is headed by reigning champions Bayern Munich (3.613/5) who can focus entirely on the competition given they have a 16 point lead in the Bundesliga. Pep Guardiola’s team will be in London on Wednesday night for a last-16 meeting with Arsenal.
Arsene Wenger’s team – 40.039/1 to win the Champions League – can rarely have been as long as 5.14/1 to win a home game but that is what the market prices them for a victory on Wednesday with Bayern as short as 1.774/5 to triumph in 90 minutes. Back in the winner market, Real Madrid split Guardiola’s current and former clubs in the betting – Carlo Ancelotti’s team are 5.69/2 to triumph in the Lisbon final. Real go to Gelsenkirchen a week on Wednesday for a game they are 1.594/7 to win.
After City, Chelsea are the Premier League’s brightest hope. The Blues are 14.5n/a in the betting and are well-fancied to get past Galatasaray next week, available to back at even money to triumph in the first leg in Turkey.
Manchester United’s poor domestic form is reflected in their price of 20.019/1 to win the competition, the same as injury-hit Borussia Dortmund, last year’s finalists.
Seven teams are shorter than that pair in the betting with the market struggling to split Paris St Germain and Atletico Madrid. Flying high in their domestic leagues – PSG are five points clear in Ligue 1 while only goal difference keeps Barca ahead of Atletico – the two clubs trade at 16.5n/a to land what would be a first Champions League title for either.
