The casual fan who saw the latest Champions League results would think that a Liverpool-Real Madrid final is in the works. However, betting websites will tell you that it’s much more complicated than that.
It’s difficult to simply believe the betting odds that favour Real Madrid as Bayern Munich are still a great team that can trade goals with the best of them. Football betting fans still remember the sterling upset Roma pulled off when they sent Barcelona packing in the quarter-finals.
These games are just as hard to figure out as the previous ones, but that’s just the way I like it. Football wouldn’t be called the Beautiful Game if it was predictable.
Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich (May 02, 02:45 GMT +8)
Real Madrid pulled off an incredible upset against Bayern at the Allianz Arena. They snatched two goals despite the hosts’ persistent attacks. They also managed to win their domestic match against Leganes without Cristiano Ronaldo. Everything is going swimmingly for Madrid, and they just need to keep their lead to advance.
However, I don’t think the Bavarians will allow things to end like this. Robert Lewandowski will make up for his lack of goals in the previous game while James Rodriguez will look to show off in front of a crowd that shunned him. Tomas Muller, Franck Ribery and Mats Hummels will also be playing hard to make the final.
I expect a game full of goals, but the Santiago Bernabeu should be able to will the Blancos through to the final. My first tip is Real Madrid -0.25 @ 1.89 for a 🌟 punt.
AS Roma vs Liverpool (May 03, 02:45 GMT +8)
Eusebio Di Francesco must better pull off another miracle at the Stadio Olimpico if he wants to book that flight to Kiev.
While their current 5-2 predicament is similar to their 4-1 ditch against Barca in the previous round, their opponents will be more than aware of what they can do in the second leg. I don’t think Jurgen Klopp will allow such a collapse to happen and will shore up his weak links in preparation.
Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane are incredible attackers that will likely score on their own. Aleksandar Kolarov and the rest of the Roman wall must keep these men in check if they have any shot at making a comeback. Edin Dzeko must also lead the attackers in mounting a seemingly tough victory.
I would like to think that Roma will be able to catch up, but the Liverpool trio has 28 goals in Europe alone. I don’t think anyone could stop them at this point. My second tip is a 🌟🌟 bet for Liverpool +0.25 @ 1.81.
