Champions League Quarter-Final Betting Odds

The first leg of the Champions League Quarter Final kicks off tonight and tomorrow night, with the Premiership holding a very strong hand with all four English clubs still in the mix. Manchester united, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal are now just 4 games away from a Final place. With Chelsea and Liverpool meeting each other again for the 5th consecutive season, one thing is guaranteed, there will be 1 less English team in the Semis. Lets have a look at the latest Champions League 2009 Betting offers.

Manchester United take on Porto tonight at Old Trafford with a little bit more wind in their salis than previous weeks. A last minute winner against Aston Villa at the weekend will have rekindled a side that had hit a off patch lately. Bookies make Man Unt bold favourites for this game, but never rule out the attacking flair of Porto.

Manchester United v Porto Betting Odds
Man Unt To Win	2/5	2/5	2/5	2/5	5/12	2/5	2/5	2/5	1/3	2/5
Porto To Win	8	9	6/5	15/2	10	9	15/2	15/2	15/2	8
Draw	10/3	16/5	10/3	3	37/10	3	100/30	10/3	33/10	10/3

Villarreal go into their home tie with Arsenal as second favourites. I think personally the bookies have called this one wrong. Sure, Arsenal have found their feet again and seem to be playing with the type of spirit that is Wegner’s trademark football. However, Villarreal are a tough side to play against on their home ground never mind beat.

Villarreal v Arsenal Betting Odds
Villarreal To Win	15/8	9/5	13/8	7/4	39/19	7/4	7/4	13/8	17/10	17/10
Arsenal To Win	8/5	8/5	17/10	13/8	17/10	13/8	13/8	7/4	6/4	13/8
Draw	11/5	11/5	9/4	11/5	9/4	21/10	11/5	21/10	2	11/5

There are certainties in life such as each morning the Sun will rise in the East and Liverpool and Chelsea will be paired against each other in the Champions League knockout stages. It has to be Liverpool in this one, the overall shape of the team is looking strong and you have to admit that Chelsea will need to be at their best to stop Liverpool from scoring. Liverpool for me by 2 goals.

Liverpool v Chelsea Betting Odds
Liverpool To Win	5/4	11/10	11/8	5/4	25/19	5/4	13/10	5/4	6/5	11/8
Chelsea To Win	13/5	11/4	9/4	5/2	3	12/5	12/5	12/5	23/10	23/10
