Midweek Football betting tips
by Ben, last updated 2008-11-04 16:53:51The Champions League enters its fourth round of group games this week, with all four English teams looking to seal qualification. "The Big Four" of English football all top their respective Champions League groups, and victory for all four would increase the likelihood of another all-English final. In the UEFA Cup this week will see just the second round of group games, with Manchester City in action for the first time in their group.
I have no strong opinions on this week's Euro fixtures. Its not been the gold mine it has been in previous years. Some strong favourites have fallen.
Celtic v Manchester United, Wednesday, Sky Sports 2, 7:45pm
Manchester United travel to Celtic Park knowing a point will probably be good enough to take them through, following their 3-0 victory over the Scots at Old Trafford. Dimitar Berbatov scored a brace that night as United ran out comfortable winners, and it will be interesting to see whether Sir Alex Ferguson sticks with the successful Berbatov-Rooney combination, or rests one of them to give Carlos Tevez a chance to re-establish himself.
Celtic are the 4/1 underdogs at BGbet, as PageBet make United the favourites at 8/13.
If Nani scores at anytime during Celtic v Manchester United, BGbet will refund all losing first goalscorer stakes on the match.
If Celtic v Manchester United finishes 0-0 BGbet will refund all losing correct score bets on that game.
Not convinced that 8/13 is worth betting on. 2 of Man U's goals in the first leg were off side. This offer is tempting though.
PageBet will refund all losing correct score and first goalscorer bets in the Manchester United v Celtic game if Manchester United fail to win the game.
You could try a striker to score first
Ronaldo, C 4/1
Rooney, W 9/2
Berbatov, D 9/2
Or better still take advantage of their offer.
Manchester United 1-0 11/2 £26.15
Manchester United 2-0 6/1 £24.28
Manchester United 2-1 7/1 £21.25
Manchester United 3-0 11/1 £14.16
Manchester United 3-1 11/1 £14.16
Total stake £100, any win and you make £69.96 profit. If its a draw or Celtic win you get your money back. Only way you can lose is if, Man U score 4 or more goals or its 3-2. Sign up with Pagebet here
Looks too good to be true to be honest but occasionally you do get a bookie that hasn't thought out their special offers.
Arsenal v Fenerbahce, Wednesday, Sky Sports Xtra, 7:45pm
Arsenal v Fenerbahce, Wednesday, Sky Sports Xtra, 7:45pm
Arsenal will look to put a string of bad results behind them as they attempt to qualify for the knockout stages at the Emirates. Following the late collapse to Spurs last week, they were beaten 2-1 by an upbeat Stoke side that seemed to catch them unaware. They can draw confidence from their return fixture against the Turks though, when they demolished them 5-2 in Turkey.
Arsenal are 1/4 with PageBet to reach the knockout stages here, with Fenerbahce a massive 11/1 at Centrebet to continue Arsenals bad run with a win at the Emirates.
If Samir Nasri scores at anytime during Arsenal v Fenerbahce, BGbet will refund all losing first goalscorer stakes on the match.
Odds on away win are tempting here. Stoke exposed several weaknesses in the Arsenal team. 11/1 at Centrebet has got to be worth a couple of quid.
Roma v Chelsea, Tuesday, ITV 4, 7:45pm
Chelsea travel to Rome looking for a repeat of their 1-0 victory over the Romans two weeks ago at Stamford Bridge. Such a result would see Phil Scolari's men safely into the next round of the competition, although recent form suggests they will not just look for a 1-0 victory. Successive 5-0 wins over both Middlesbrough and Sunderland in the Premiership have raised expectations even higher in West London, as Scolari has his team playing in a manner owner Roman Abramovich has always wanted.
Roma are the 14/5 underdogs with VCbet, while Chelsea are 10/11 with BGbet.
If Joe Cole scores at anytime during Roma v Chelsea, BGbet will refund all losing first goalscorer stakes on the match.
I am not convinced that Chelsea odds on away from home in the Champions League is a good bet, especially against Roma. Guess this is one to skip or a bet on Roma on the Handicap.
Liverpool v Atletico Madrid, Tuesday, ITV 1, 7:45pm
Liverpool host Atletico as both sides look for the victory that could put them into the knockout stages. They drew 1-1 in the return fixture two weeks ago, although Liverpool were without Fernando Torres that night. The former Atletico front man could be in line for a return at Anfield on Tuesday, a boost to a Liverpool side already confident after their great start to the Premiership.
Liverpool are big favourites at 1/2 with PageBet to effectively seal qualification, while Atletico are the 5/1 outsiders with Centrebet.
If Alberto Riera scores at anytime during Liverpool v Atletico Madrid, BGbet will refund all losing first goalscorer stakes on the match.
I would have maybe backed Liverpool but for the loss at the weekend. Liverpool don't need to win this game and maybe last weekend was the end of their lucky streak.
