TOTTENHAM VS BARCELONA WEMBLEY CUP BETTING TIPS

We've got two rare Friday night football fixtures this evening and while Celtic vs Al Ahly sounds like an interesting match-up, I expect all eyes to be tuned in squarely to the Tottenham vs Barcelona match that takes place at 20:00.

Top UK bookmaker William Hill has unleashed some very surprising odds with Barcelona listed as 6/5 favourites to beat Harry Redknapp's Spurs. The draw pays out at 12/5 while a match-winning performance from Tottenham would garner an 11/5 price- good odds all around.

In terms of the correct score market, you'll find that the lowest-priced selections are a 1-1 draw and 1-0 Barcelona, both scorelines listed at 11/2. 1-0 Spurs, 0-0 and 2-0 Barcelona are all evenly-priced at 13/2. 2-1 Spurs pays out at 12/1 while 2-1 Barca is listed at 15/2. 3-1 Barcelona isn't out of the question and you'll be looking at 20/1- the same price as a 3-0 result.

Barcelona to win both halves is listed at 12/5 with Spurs to win both halves at 9/2. Draw/Barcelona is 4/1 while Draw/Tottenham is 6/1. Spurs coming from a half-time deficit to win the match pays out at 25/1.

Thierry Henry is the favoured goalscorer for Barcelona with a 5/4 anytime price and 5/1 first and last. Lionel Messi is 6/4 anytime and 11/2 first/last. Bojan is 7/4 anytime and 6/1 to score first or last. Eidur Gudjohnson is well-priced to score anytime at 10/3.

For Spurs, it looks like they'll be turning to Jermaine Defoe to get the business done in the opposite net. He's 2/1 to score anytime and 7/1 first or last- that's a good bet on the last goal I think. Darren Bent is 9/4 anytime and 15/2 first and last- an identical line as Robbie Keane. Roman Pavlyuchenko is 11/4 anytime and 8/1 first and last. Keep your eye on Luka Modric at 5/1 anytime and Jermaine Jenas at 6/1. Aaron Lennon is good value to score at 11/2- his pace could trouble Barcelona.

Barcelona are 9/5 to win to nil and 3/1 for Tottenham to do the same.

If you're looking to do any spread betting with Sporting Index on this match-up, you'll find plenty of value there as well. Some notable prices include Tottenham (-1.0) selling at 4 and buying at 5.5. Barcelona winning with a (-1.0) handicap is selling at 7 and buying at 8.5.

Tottenham to score 1 and win is selling at 6 and buying at 9. Barcelona score two and win is selling at 9 and buying at 12. Interesting odds across the board.
