There is a lot to like about the way things are looking here in the 2015/16 Champions League and you can do very well right now if you have a feeling of how things are expected to shape up thanks to some really solid prices available - even on the betting choices for the tournament trophy. 

Expect some solid performances in store from the better-favoured teams like Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. These three superstar clubs have formed the backbone of European competition over the past few seasons and we don’t expect anything to change that dramatically here. 

You do have to wonder whether this will be the year when we have a real upstart contender for Champions League glory instead of the usual suspects all again. It seems a little bit unlikely this time around but you have to reckon that there will be some punters willing to take a gamble on a smaller club having a genuine chance at making a very big impression. 

The betting favourites to take the trophy again this year are Barcelona and Lionel Messi & co are trading at a 3/1 margin right now to secure the coveted title of best football club in all of Europe. That’s not altogether a bad price as it appears as though the core of the team will remain together and the chatter about Neymar leaving to Manchester United proved to be nothing more than a bunch of desperate back page filler that got a journalists job done for the day.
