BettingDiaryThe final night of Championship League Group Stages takes place on Wednesday and we pick 3 of the games to have a bet on.

 

 

 

 

MIDTJYLLAND V LIVERPOOL – Click here to bet

Midtjylland are without a win in their 5 games getting just 1 point and they are guaranteed to finish bottom of Group D. Liverpool on the other hand have had 4 wins and a loss in their 5 games and are certain to finish top.

Midtjylland’s 2 home games have seen them lose 2-1 to Ajax and 4-0 to Atalanta although in the qualification stages they had convincing victories over Slavia Prague and Young Boys both by 3-0 margins.

Liverpool have yet to concede on the road in their 2 Champions League matches beating Atalanta 5-0 and Ajax 1-0 and they were rampant in the League on the weekend beating Wolves 4-0 at home.

 

BETTING

Midtjylland 12/5

Draw 28/10

Liverpool 21/20

Suggested Bet: The draw at 28/10

The first thing that might surprise you about this bet is that the fact that the draw is as short as 28/10. This is due to the fact that Liverpool have nothing to play for and will no doubt rest key players for the match. This may allow Midtjylland in to grab a point.

Other markets of interest to me would be under 2.5 goals at 12/10.

REAL MADRID v BORUSSIA MONCHENGLADBACH – Click here to bet

Group B is very well poised with Monchengladbach leading on 8 points ahead of Shakhtar Donetsk and Real Madrid on 7, Inter are not totally out of it on 5 points and should Real Madrid lose they could go through with a win over Shakhtar Donetsk.

Real Madrid’s 2 home games have seen them beat Inter 3-2 and lose 3-2 to Shakhtar Donetsk. Monchengladbach’s away matches were a 6-0 win over Shakhtar and a 2-2 draw with Inter.

These sides met at Monchengladbach earlier this season in the Tournament and the score finished 2-2.

BETTING

Real Madrid 15/20

Draw 61/20

Borussia Monchengladbach 7/2

Suggested Bet: Over 3.5 goals at 5/4

This game should be an exciting one with end-to-end action and there has been 4 goals or more in all 5 of Monchengladbach’s Group Stage matches and in 3 of Real Madrid’s 5 games.

MANCHESTER CITY v MARSEILLE – Click here to bet

City are 3 points clear of Porto in Group C, but with a comfortably better goal difference looks certain to secure top spot. Marseille are still in the hunt for a Top 3 finish, currently level on points with Olympiacos although slightly behind on goal difference.

City’s 2 home games have seen them beat Olympiacos 3-0 and Porto 3-1 and Marseille have lost both games on the road 3-0 to Porto and 1-0 to Olympiacos, but they did get their first win of the campaign 2-1 against Olympiacos at home last time out.

BETTING

Manchester City 9/20

Draw 77/20

Marseille 6/1

Suggested Bet: Handicap, Marseilles (+1) at 18/10

I am taking a view this week that the English Premier League sides who have nothing to play for will be far from their best and I think that Marseilles are going to go better than many expect.
