The game itself is a real mouth watering prospect with what are undoubtedly the current two best teams in the World going head to head in one of football’s most famous venues, the Stadio Olimpico, Rome; the perfect stage for a match that has the potential to be a classic.  Both sides are packed with talent and all eyes will be on Ronaldo and Messi, the current number one two players in World football and either of them could be the difference in winning this game. However, with the likes of Rooney, Eto’o, Henry and Tevez amongst others involved, this game really is a star studded affair and very much capable of living up to its billing in the media as the ‘Hollywood Final’.

If you are looking for a tip for this game, it would have to be Manchester United to win at even money with Coral. The Reds are well experienced in these big games and last year’s victory over Chelsea in Moscow could well prove crucial if it turns out to be a close affair. We also feel that whilst both sides are packed with attacking players, it is United who have the better of the two defences and this is what could ultimately keep the Champions League trophy in the Old Trafford trophy cabinet. Also, don’t  be surprised to see this game go to penalties and 12/1  (Stan James) about Man Utd winnnig in a shoot out looks a cracking bet.

Man Utd v Arsenal Odds favour The Champions in Champions League Semi Final Clash

*Update Tuesday 5th May 2009*

The odds for this game ahead of Tuesday night’s second leg see Manchester United as the clear favourites to be the first team to book their place in the final later this month. Bookmaker Boylesports are the best odds on United qualifying at 2/7 while Paddypower go the best price on Arsenal overcoming a one goal deficit to progress to the Rome Showpiece on 27th May.

The odds for 90 minutes play on Tuesday point towards a very close encounter with the home side the favoruites by the narrowest of margins at 6/4 and United are a shade bigger at 7/4 with Paddypower. The draw is chalked up at 23/10 with the Irish firm, a result that would favour the Reds whereas the Gunners must win if they are to progress. Equally, an away goal for United would make it an even bigger assignment for Wenger’s boys but one which many punters will think is achievable, especially with the talent in the Arsenal Squad.

************************************************

The Odds for Wednesday night’s Champions League Semi Final first leg clash between Man Utd and Arsenal at Old Trafford suggest that bookmakers are expecting Manchester United will be taking the advantage to  next week’s return leg at The Emirates.

Ladbrokes are offering the best odds (10/11) about Man Utd beating Arsenal in a game that you would expect the home team need to win if they are to progress to their second successive Champions League final, which takes place in Rome at the end of next month. Coral are offering the best price around about the Gunners winning this game at 4/1,  but Arsene Wenger and his players will be fully aware that a draw (best price 5/2 with Boylesports) or even a one goal deficit will give them a great chance of making home advantage count on Tuesday 5th May, with an away goal a major boost if they can find the back of the United net.

Recent history and stats suggest that Man Utd are a value bet at 10/11 to win this game after United have won 5 of the last 6 meetings between the sides at Old Trafford. In the process, Fergie’s men have scored 11 goals to Arsenal’s three which would point towards a correct score bet of either 1-0 (best price 11/2 @ Victor Chandler) or 2-0 (with Ladbrokes). However, it must be remembered that there is a lot at stake in this game and it may be approached in a different way than a Premier League encounter. Arsenal are also the Premiership’s most inform, without a league defeat in 2009 and with several key players returning to fitness and form they could well get a result at Old Trafford.

Chelsea v Everton Premiership Odds Favour Blues in Cup Final Dress Rehearsal

Wednesday’s Premiership clash between Chelsea and Everton at Stamford Bridge is a great example of the irony that football can often present. It is the first game that after both teams will play after triumphing in last weekend’s respective FA Cup Semi Finals and ironically it will be a dress rehearsal for when the sides next meet on Saturday 30th May 2009.

Chelsea beat Arsenal 2-1 in Saturday’s first Semi Final and Everton overcame Man Utd on penalties following a 0-0 draw in Sunday’s second Semi Final. Bookmakers Ladbrokes have installed Chelsea as the 4/9  favourites for Wednesday’s live Sky Sports game and the Blues are also favourites to win the FA Cup at a not too much bigger price of 1/2.  Ladbrokes also make Everton are 6/4 to win the FA Cup but are much bigger at 7/1 to win at Stamford Bridge, a result that would end Chelsea’s outside chances of winning the Premier League.

The stats don’t provide much hope for the Toffees who have not beaten Chelsea in 21 times of asking, last beating the Blues back in 2001 and their last win at Stamford Bridge cam back in the 1994/95 season – the same season that Everton last won the FA Cup.

Anyone having a bet on this game will surely have to side with Guus Hiddink’s men who have lost just once in all competitions since the Dutchman took charge in February and Didider Drogba, match winner for Chelsea over Arsenal at Wembley is the man who has been responsible for most of the goals during that sequenece of impressive results. Drogba has scored 9 times in the 12 games he has played under Hiddink, including scoring in each of the last four games and looks a sure fire bet to score at any time against Everton and at 11/10 with Victor Chandler, it is hard to put you off and the same firm go 4/1 that he scores the first goal in the game.

Man Utd Odds on to beat Porto as they Resume Quest for the Quad!

Man Utd resume their quest for the elusive Quad when they welcome Porto to old Trafford on Tuesday in the first leg of their Champions League Quarter Final. With the Carling Cup in the bag and the Reds sitting pretty at the top of the Premier League, Sir Alex Ferguson’s sides attention will be firmly focussed on making home advantage count at Old Trafford and taking a lead to Portugal next week for the return leg.

United are 2/5 with Bet365 to secure the home win, but they will surely be looking to score more than one goal and keep a clean sheet (4/5 with Totesport) at the same time, somethign that the return of Vidic and Ferdinand to the squad will surely help.

In the correct score market, Manchester United to win 2-0 (11/2 with Betfred) and 3-0 (17/2 with Bet365) make most appeal and in the first goalscorer market, it is difficult to look beyond either Ronaldo (4/1 best odds at Ladbrokes) or Wayne Rooney, who is a best prce 5/1 chance at Bet365.

Southend vs Chelsea cash back offer

Chelsea travel to Southend United’s Roots Hall stadium to take part in their 3rd round FA Cup replay match following their 1-1 draw on January 3rd. The match will be shown live on ITV1 (20:10 kick off) and commentary is available on BBC Radio 5 Live.

Paddy Power will refund all losing first and last goal scorers, correct score and scorecast single bets on this match if Frank Lampard scores the last goal of the match.  He is currently at 9/2 with PaddyPower to be the last goal scorer, the favourite to score last is Drogba at 7/2.

Southend put on a brave display when playing away at Chelsea for their 1-1 draw and therefore they must fancy their chances of winning the match when they have their full home crowd behind them.  However this does not stop bookmakers putting Chelsea as the favourite to win the match and they are currently priced at 1/4 for an away win and 5/1 for the draw, Southend are 10/1 to win the match so could be worth placing a couple of pounds on them to be giant killers.

If however you fancy placing a bet on the first goal scorer the market for Southend is Dougie Freedman who is placed at a tempting 14/1 as is fellow player Lee Barnard, however in these FA cup ties its normally a defender that pops one in from a scrappy corner so Adam Barrett at 50/1 for first goal scorer or 17/1 for an anytime goal is virtually a must.  For Chelsea Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka are both given odds of 2/1.

Chelsea v Liverpool Betting Offer

The top two teams in the Premier League go head to head at Stamford Bridge on Sunday with Chelsea taking on Liverpool. Both teams remain unbeaten in all competitions and come in to the game in great form, leaving the odds compilers with something of a headache. Chelsea are the favourites to win the game at odds of 10/11 with Paddypower, a price that is more than double the usual odds about a home win for the Blues and sure to make plenty of appeal to backers who think Chelsea are a good thing. However, Liverpool will equally have plenty of backers at seemingly generous odds of 10/3.

The best result for the bookies would therefore probably be the draw at 9/4, providing that one of the leading suspects for first goalscorer doesn’t oblige. With Didier Drogba still out injured, Nicolas Anelka (9/2) and Frank Lampard (6/1) look the biggest goal threats for Chelsea, while Liverpool will be hoping that Fernando Torres can return from injury to feature in the game. If he does, the 13/2 about the Spaniard scoring the first goal is sure attract plenty of support as too will Steven Gerrard at big odd of 11/1. Gerrard is the feature player of Paddypower’s cashback offer on this game. If the Liverpool captain scores at any time during the game, Paddy Power will refund all losing firs goalscorer, last goalscorer, correct score and scorecast bets on this game.

Will Celtic beat their away day blues at Old Trafford?

Celtic go to Old Trafford on Tuesday as part of their Champions League campaign and will hope to end their poor away form in the Champions League when they visit Manchester United, Celtic have played 16 matches away and lost all but one when they managed a draw, there home form has been more respectable having won 13 out of their 16 games and only losing one when Barcelona beat them 3-2.

To help the game be less predictable Paddy Power will refund all losing first/last goalscorer, correct score & scorecast singles if Wayne Rooney or Robbie Keane scores last in the match.  Celtic will be without Midfielder Marc Crosas and Manchester United’s Patrice Evra is doubtful with a hamstring injury.

CFR Cluj v Chelsea Champions Legaue Betting Odds

Chelsea travel to Transylvania on Wednesday to face, European unknowns CFR Cluj, however, these unknowns defeated Roma away in the opening game of Champions League Group A and Chelsea will be well aware that they have their work cut out to beat the Romanian champions. The majority of bookmakers have priced Chelsea as the short priced favourites to win, with William Hill as short as 1/3, whilst Boylesports are a little more generous and offer 1/2 that the Blues can get the win. Bet365 and Skybet offer the best odds on Cluj victory, both offering 15/2 about what would be another shock.

Didier Drogba is back from injury and he is 9/2 with bet365 to score the first goal of the game and what would be his first of the season. A Chelsea 2-0 victory is the favoured scoreline at odds of 5/1 but a 1-0 win (11/2) would surely please the Blues and may be the score to place a bet on.
