Napoli vs Chelsea Odds – Edinson Cavani 11/2 To Open Scoring

Napoli vs Chelsea – Tuesday 21^st February (Sky Sports 2. 19.45)

Chelsea will look to put their stuttering form behind them when they travel to Italy to face Napoli in the first-leg of their last 16 Champions League clash. Under-fire manager Andre Villas-Boas will be fully aware of the threat that Napoli possess and will be desperate for a decent result in order to quieten the critics. The Serie A side have an outstaying record at the Stadio San Paolo and inflicted a damaging 2-1 defeat upon Robero Mancini’s Manchester City in the group stages. They head into the match as the 13/10 favourites with Paddy Power, while Chelsea can be backed at 11/5 to come away with a priceless win, meanwhile a draw is also available at odds of 11/5.

Chelsea are lacking in confidence at the moment after four matches without a win. They played out a lacklustre 1-1 draw at home to Championship side Birmingham at the weekend and they have been plagued by recent reports of player unrest. The Blues do not have the best of records in Italy having won just one of their nine matches in the country and if they do not come away with a positive result you feel they will struggle to qualify for the quarter-finals. Napoli can be backed at 8/1 to go into the second-leg with a 2-1 advantage, while they are priced at 11/2 to win 1-0. Chelsea are available at 7/1 to record a 1-0, while a 1-1 draw could be the way to go at 5/1.

Napoli have a fearsome frontline and will be looking to take advantage of Chelsea’s wobbly defence. With odds of 11/2 Edinson Cavani leads the betting in the First Goalscorer market, while Ezequiel Lavezzi is available at 13/2 and Cristiano Lucarelli at 7/1. Didier Drogba, who is a welcome presence in the Chelsea attack following his return from the African Cup of Nations, can be backed at 6/1 to open the scoring, with Daniel Sturridge priced at 15/2.

AC Milan vs Arsenal Odds – Robin Van Persie Last Goal Special

AC Milan vs Arsenal – Wednesday 15th February (ITV 1, 19 45pm)

The Champions League makes a welcome return this week with Arsenal flying the flag for the Premier League as they travel to AC Milan for the first-leg of their second round tie. It will be a tough test for Arsenal who will be looking to draw inspiration from their stunning 2-0 win at the San Siro back in 2008 but will be aware of the immense firepower of the Serie A leaders. The Rossoneri are available at evens to win on Wednesday, while Arsenal can be backed at 14/5 to come away with the win, with a draw priced at 12/5. If Robin van Persie scores the last goal in this game Paddy Power will refund all losing firts/last goalscorer, correct score & scorecast singles on the match.

AC Milan qualified for the second round after finishing second behind Barcelona in Group H, while Arsenal topped Group F. It is safe to say that Milan simply do not like playing English opposition as they were dumped out of the Champions League by Tottenham last season, Man Utd in 2010 and Arsenal in 2008 when The Gunners became the first English club to beat AC Milan in the San Siro. Arsenal can no longer look to Cesc Fabregas and Emmanual Adebayor for inspiration but they do have the outstanding Robin Van Persie who is having an excellent season. Arsenal’s recent slump appears to be behind them following their 7-1 thrashing of Blackburn Rovers and Saturday’s hard fought win away to in-form Sunderland. However, their away record in Europe is not the best, with Arsene Wenger’s men winning just three of their last 12 matches on the road in the competition.

Milan possess one of the strongest attacks in Europe with the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Alexandre Pato and Robinho in their ranks and you fancy them to breach a less than resilient Arsenal defence. Ibrahimovic is available as the 9/2 First Goalscorer, while Pato and Lopez have been handed odds of 6/1 to open the scoring. Arsenal’s star man Robin Van Persie is also available at 6/1, while Thierry Henry is priced at 9/1. Milan look a good bet at 7/1 to win 2-1, while Arsenal can be backed at 9/1 to come away with a 1-0 win. Meanwhile a 1-1 could be worth a punt at 11/2.

FC Basle v Man Utd Betting: Wayne Rooney Last Goal Special

FC Basle v Man Utd – Wednesday 7^th December (ITV 1, 19.45pm)

Manchester United travel to FC Basle tonight needing a point to qualify for the Champions League knockout phase. Fergie’s men are the hot odds-on 8/13 favourites to come away with the win, while the Swiss side can be backed at 9/2 for a shock victory that would see them progress through to the later stages of the competition. You can take advantage of the Paddy Power Champions League money back special – If Wayne Rooney scores the last goal, then they will refund all losing first/last goalscorer, correct score & scorecast singles on the match.

United head into tonight’s crucial match plagued with suspensions and injuries, especially in attack where they will have to do without Dimitar Berbatov and Javier Hernandez, which means the pressure will be on Wayne Rooney and Danny Welbeck to deliver goals. It also gives Federico Macheda and Mame Biram Diouf the opportunity to shine. The meeting between the sides at Old Trafford back in September was a six-goal thriller, with Ashley Young scoring a last minute goal to snatch a point for United. Even though a draw tonight would ensure progress to the next round, United will be going all out for the three points, and they are available at 8/1 to come away with a 2-0 win. They are also priced at 13/2 to win 2-1 and 12/1 to record a 3-1 win, as they did the last time they came to Basle in 2002. Alternatively a 1-1 draw can be found at 6/1.

Fergie will be hoping Wayne Rooney can find his goalscoring touch, with the striker is the 4/1 favourite to open the scoring and the same odds to score the game’s last goal. Danny Welbeck, who scored two in the home fixture, is available at 5/1 to score first, while Mame Biram Diouf and Federico Macheda are priced at 7/1. Basle’s Alexander Frei, who also notched two goals in the previous meeting, can be backed at 8/1 to be the First Goalscorer while Marco Streller is available at 10/1.

Champions League Betting – Goalscorer Special With Ladbrokes

Arsenal vs Borussia Dortmond – Wednesday 23^rd November (Sky Sports 2, 19.45pm)
Bayer Leverkusen vs Chelsea – Wednesday 23^rd November (ITV 1, 19.45pm)

Chelsea and Arsenal will be looking to fly the flag for England in Europe tonight following disappointing performances by the two Manchester club’s on Tuesday. The London teams will battle it out with German opposition as they have the chance to win qualification to the knock-out stages. Ladbrokes will refund losing first goalscorer bets if your selection scores later in the game.

Chelsea currently top Group E and a win this evening could see them qualify for the next round, although this depends on the Valencia result. Boss Andre Villas-Boas heads into the match under pressure following Chelsea’s recent slump in form in the Premier League which has seen them lose three of their last four matches. Europe may come as a welcome distraction but it will by no means be an easy match as Leverkusen are just two points behind in the group and Chelsea have won just once in five previous trips to Germany. However, Ladbrokes have Chelsea as the 11/10 favourites for the win while the home side, who have beaten both Valencia and Genk at the BayArena this season, can be backed at 5/2 to make it three against Chelsea. A draw is available at 9/4.

Fernando Torres is the 5/1 favourite to open the scoring, while Didier Drogba and Daniel Sturridge are priced at 11/2. Frank Lampard is available at 7/1 to score first while Leverkusen’s Eren Derdiyok, Stefan Kiessling and Andre Schurrle can all be backed at 8/1. We expect this to be a tight game with a 1-1 draw a possible outcome at 6/1.

Two in-form teams meet at the Emirates stadium tonight as Arsenal’s take on Borussia Dortmund. While the Gunners have won ten of their last 12 matches, Dortmund have won seven in nine, with both teams showing great character to recover from slow starts to the season. Arsenal will be disappointed with their goalless draw at home to Marseille in their last Champions League match but will put that behind them tonight as a win will ensure they qualify for the knock-out stages. Their opponents will provide stiff competition and will be going for the win as a defeat could end their qualification hopes. They will also be fired up following their impressive win aagainst rivals Bayern Munich at the weekend. Ladbrokes have Arsenal as the evens favourites, while Dortmund are available at 13/5 to come away with another impressive away win. A draw can be found at 5/2. The simply outstanding Robin Van Persie is the 7/2 favourite to open the scoring tonight, while Marouane Chamakh is available at 6/1.

Man Utd v Benfica Odds – Javier Hernandez Betting Special

Man Utd v Benfica – Tuesday 22^nd November (Sky Sports 4, 7.45pm)

Manchester United tackle Benfica tonight in the Champions League in a match that pits together the top teams in Group C.  Since their humiliating defeat at home to fierce rivals Manchester City, United have won five matches on the bounce without a conceding a single goal. They currently lead Group C but their qualification is by no means certain, with tonight’s opponents Benfica second only on goal difference and FC Basel just three points behind in third. If Basle lose to bottom side Otelul Galat tonight then United only need a draw to qualify, and with just one defeat in their last 34 home games in the competition Fergie’s men will certainly be confident. However, they come up against an in-form Benfica team who are undefeated in 20 matches this season and will be going all out for the win.

United are the 4/7 favourites with Paddy Power while Benfica have been handed odds of 11/2 to come away with a surprise win. Benfica will look to draw inspiration from Basel’s thrilling 3-3 draw at Old Trafford, with a draw priced at 11/4 tonight. Wayne Rooney can be backed at 7/2 to be the First Goalscorer tonight, while Javier Hernandez, who popped up at the weekend to score United’s winner against Swansea, is priced at 9/2 to score first. If Hernandez scores last, Paddy Power will refund all losing first/last goalscorer, correct score & scorecast singles on the match. With four goals in his last three games Rodrigo looks like a very tempting 10/1 bet to open the scoring at Old Trafford.

Man City are also in action tonight as they travel to Napoli in search of a vital three points. Roberto Mancini’s men have recovered from a difficult start in the competition to record back-to-back wins against Villarreal. City are currently second in Group B and a win tonight would guarantee qualification to the next round. However, that task is much easier said than done, as City found out in their opening Champions League match when Napoli held them to a 1-1 draw. The Italian side are unbeaten in their last ten European home games and three points tonight would take them above City into third place and put them in a great position to qualify. Paddy Power have City as the 11/10 favourites for the win, while Napoli are priced at 13/5, with a draw available at 23/10.

Paddy Power Champions League Money-Back Offers

Arsenal v Marseille – Tuesday 7.45pm Sky Sports 2
Villarreal  v Man City - Wednesday 7.45pm Sky Sports 2

Europe’s most lucrative football competition returns to our screens this week as we enter into the second-half of the Group Stages. On Tuesday in-form Arsenal entertain Marseille at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners have shrugged off their wobbly start to the season with eight wins in their last nine matches, including a stunning 5-3 win at Chelsea on Sunday. Arsene Wenger’s men stunned Marseille in their previous meeting in October with a last gasp winner courtesy of Aaron Ramsey and they look like a good bet to come away with another win against the French side. The result in France propelled Arsenal to top spot with seven points, while Marseille are just a point behind in second. Arsenal should extend their lead on Tuesday night, with Paddy Power making them the odds-on 8/13 favourites, while Marseille are priced at 9/2 to come away with the three points.

If Robin Van Persie scores the last goal, Paddy Power will refund all losing first/last goalscorer, correct score & scorecast singles on this match. The flying Dutchman scored a hat-trick at the weekend, taking his 2011 tally to an incredible 28 goals in 27 league games. The 28-year-old is the 7/2 favourite to open the scoring on Tuesday and is also available at 12/1 to score another hat-trick. Gervinho is available at 6/1 to be the game’s First Goalscorer while Theo Walcott has been handed odds of 7/1.

In contrast to their stunning league form Man City have struggled to get to grips with the Champions League this season. City are currently third in Group A and you feel that they must come away with a win against Villarreal if they are to challenge Bayern Munich for top spot. Paddy Power have installed Roberto Mancini’s men as the 8/13 favourites for the win, while Villarreal are 9/2 to record a much needed three points. Paddy Power are also running a money-back special on the game whereby if a goal is scored in the last five minutes, then they will refund all losing first/last goalscorer, correct score & scorecast singles on this match. Sergio Aguero is the bookies favourite to open the scoring with odds of 9/2 while the in-form Edin Dzeko is available at 5/1 to score first. It will probably be a tight contest, with a 2-1 City win at 13/2 looking like a good bet.

Champions League Money-Back Special – Marseille v Arsenal

Marseille v Arsenal – Wednesday 18th October (ITV 1, 7.45pm)

Arsenal travel to France tonight to play Marseille in their third Group F Champions League match. The game promises to be an exciting encounter with Marseille currently sitting a point above The Gunners at the top of the group with six points. Therefore a win for Arsene Wenger’s men would propel them up to top spot and edge them closer to the knock-out stages. Paddy Power have installed Marseille as 11/8 favourites whileArsenal are priced at 21/20 to come away with the three points, with a draw available at odds of 11/5.

Paddy Power are offering a fantastic money-back special whereby if Robin Van Persie scores the last goal, then they will refund all losing first/last goalscorer, correct score & scorecast singles on the match. The Dutchman scored two fine goals against Sunderland at the weekend and he is available at 11/2 to score the final goal of the match tonight. Van Persie has been priced at 4/1 to score in an Arsenal win, and the striker has also been handed odds of 12/1 to score two or more goals during the game. It will no doubt be a tight match with a 1-1 draw at 5/1 looking like a possible outcome.

Chelsea are also in European action tonight at home to Genk. Chelsea are currently top of Group E and Paddy Power have them as the heavy 1/8 favourites to win and extend their lead at the top, while Genk have long odds of 22/1 to snatch an unlikely win at Stamford Bridge, with a draw priced at 7/1. Didier Drogba and Fernando Torres are both available at 3/1 to open the scoring.

Champions League Money-Back Special – Manchester City v Villarreal

Champions League Money-Back Special – Manchester City v Villarreal

The Champions League returns to our screens on Tuesday with both Manchester clubs aiming to get back on track following slow starts. Both teams have relatively straight forward matches with bookmakers’ Ladbrokes offering a money-back special on the Manchester City v Villarrreal game. Ladbrokes will refund losing First Goalscorer bets on the match, if Edin Dzeko scores at any time. Dzeko was rested in City’s 4-1 win at the weekend which means he will be refreshed and ready to rumble on Tuesday. The Bosnian international can currently be found with odds of evens to score at any point during the match.

In contrast to their excellent league form Man City have struggled to get to grips with the Champions League. They were surprisingly held at home in their opening match against a battling Napoli and then they were totally outclassed in their last outing away to Bayern Munich. That match of course will be remembered for the whole Carlos Tevez saga but City have a good chance to put that behind them and kick-start their European dreams by getting their first win in the competition at home to Spanish side Villarreal, who are pointless after two matches. Ladbrokes have City as the odds on 1/3 favourites while Villarreal have been priced at 9/1, with a draw available at 4/1.

City have been scoring for fun at home this season and they look set to run out comfortable winners on Tuesday, with a 3-1 scoreline at 10/1 looking like a tempting bet.  Providing he is back to match fitness the in-form Sergio Aguero is the 7/2 favourite to open the scoring, while his strike partner Edin Dzeko is priced at 4/1 to score first. Midfield duo Samir Nasri and David Silva have both been handed odds of 7/1 to be the First Goalscorer while Villarreal striker Giuseppe Rossi is available at 9/1.

City’s fierce neighbours Manchester United are also in action on Tuesday with a trip to little known Romanian side Otelul Galati. Like City, Man Utd have had a disappointing start to the Champions League, failing to win in both of their games so far. However, last year’s runners up should simply be too strong for Galatic, whom themselves have yet to register a point in their debut season in the competition. Ladbrokes are United at short odds of 1/5 to come away with the three points, while the home side are the huge 14/1 outsiders. Wayne Rooney is the 5/2 favourite to open the scoring.

Champions League Betting – Valencia v Chelsea Money-Back Special

Valencia v Chelsea – Wednesday 28^th September, ITV (7.45pm)

Chelsea face a tricky encounter with Valencia at the Mestalla Stadium on Wednesday in their second Champions League Group E match. Chelsea may be the 7/5 favourites to win the game but they will certainly be made to work for the three points. At 2/1 Valencia represent good value and with home advantage they will be difficult to beat. Paddy Power have a fantastic Money-Back Special available for the match whereby if there are more than four goals in the game, Paddy Power will refund all losing First/Last Goalscorer, Correct Score & Scorecast singles on the match.

Fernando Torres has two goals in his last two league games and will no doubt be eager to bounce back following his sending off against Swansea City. The Spaniard has had a mixed season so far but is still the 5/1 favourite to open the scoring. His strike partner Didier Drogba marked his return to action with a neat goal at the weekend and can be found with odds of 11/2 to score the first goal on Wednesday, while the former Valencia midfielder Juan Mata is available at 8/1. Valencia’s Roberto Soldado is priced at 11/2 to open the scoring while Aritz Aduriz is available at 7/1.

Chelsea have lost just one of the last seven away games in Europe and in four Champions League meetings with Valencia they are yet to experience defeat, winning two and drawing two. Furthermore Chelsea have won both of their last two visits to the Mestalla by a 2-1 scoreline and are priced at 8/1 to come away with the same result. We think it will be a tight game, with both teams likely to settle for a share of the points, with a 1-1 draw looking a favourable result at odds of 5/1.
