Champions League Betting Tips

This Tuesday will see the 2009/2010 Champions League campaign kicks off. The 4 representatives of the EPL were drawn in to relatively easy groups, managing to avoid super powers such as Real Madrid, Bayern Munich or Inter Milan. No wonder that anything but topping their groups will be a huge surprise.
According to Betfair, the Premier League teams are between the favourites to win this year’s Champions League, but the Spanish giants – Barcelona and Real Madrid were marked as clear favourites with better odds to finish as winners: 5.3 and 6 respectively.
But let’s leave May 2010 aside and focus on this Tuesday and Wednesday. The first week sees Liverpool host Hungarian champions Debrecen, in what should be an easy win for them, while at the same time Arsenal travel to Liege, to face Standard Liege and Manchester United will play against Besiktas in Turkey. Both are tricky away matches, but both Arsenal and United should record wins.
Carlo Ancelloti said last week that Chelsea's main target is the Champions League, and he thinks that his team is finally up for the challenge. Chelsea begin their campaign against Porto on Tuesday without Didier Drogba and Jose Bosingwa, suspended for their semi-finals show of last year. Porto, just like Chelsea, enjoy a great start for the season and it looks that the new striker Radamel Falcao Garcia fills the gap Lisandro Lopez left.
It could go either way on Tuesday; let me know your thoughts:

The Premier League is back!

After the international break, we are glad to welcome the Premiership back. This weekend brings us a couple of hectic matches, involving 4 of the better teams in the league.
The first one brings Arsenal to the Stadium of Manchester, to play boldly rich Manchester City. In recent years, this was a must win match for Arsenal, but with the new and improved Manchester City, they look as favourite for this one. As these two will probably fight for a Champions League spot to the end, this match is highly important for them both.

As soon as this match ends, we shift our attention to White Heart Lane, where steaming hot Tottenham take on Manchester Untied. Now, there is no doubt that United is the better team, but Spurs kicked of the season in the best possible way. This is a massive test for both teams. United will need to show they have what it takes to win yet another championship, while Tottenham should use this match as a way to show they are set and ready to challenge the top 4 clubs of the Premiership.
