There’s a lot riding on this week’s Champions League football games, and the English teams need to hold their nerve if they are to deliver.
The betting odds are stacked against Chelsea qualifying and, with their tie in the balance, Manchester United have a lot of work to do. So let’s take a look at our Asian Handicap Betting picks this week, it’ll be a good test with three ties which could go either way.
Barcelona vs (1-1 on agg.) Chelsea (March 15, 03:45 GMT+8)
I include this clash as one of those three but what a task the Blues have. Ernesto Valverde’s Barcelona has won five of its last six at home, while Chelsea has been in patchy form in the league, losing their last two, on their travels, to Manchester United and City. Can they win away at a big club?
I can’t see it, so am backing Barca to have a half-time lead at odds of 1.94 for a 🌟🌟🌟 bet.
Manchester United vs (0-0 on agg.) Sevilla (March 14, 03:45 GMT+8)
The Red Devils have been formidable at home and have shown recently how quickly they can break and hurt opponents, as Liverpool discovered at the weekend. But Sevilla is a quality European outfit, sitting fifth in La Liga and with back-to-back wins before this weekend’s fixtures.
I think United will keep it tight and so my 🌟🌟 bet here is on Under 2.5 goals at 1.80.
Besiktas JK vs (0-5 on agg.) Bayern Munich (March 15, 01:00 GMT+8)
Well what can Besiktas hope for when Bayern comes to town? To avoid another thrashing would be a start. I think they will, but any hopes of overturning a five goal deficit are madness. The big money transfer of Cenk Tosun to Everton leaves the hosts a bit short up front, but they should give the Germans a better game in Istanbul.
I’m going for a match of between 2 and 3 goals here, for a 🌟🌟 bet at odds of 2.21.
AS Roma vs (1-2 on agg.) Shakhtar Donetsk (March 14, 03:45 GMT+8)
Two sides in decent form meet in Rome to battle it out for a quarter final place. Shakhtar has won the last six in all competitions while Roma has been vulnerable at home, losing three of the last five. But the hosts seem to have overcome a stutter, and in Edin Dzeko they have a potential match-winner. I think they’ll have just enough to see them through.
Roma to progress to the next round is at odds of 1.67 for a 🌟🌟 bet.
