2018 Champions League Betting Update PT 2

There is still the matter of the final qualifying fixtures still to be played but oftentimes these don't have a tremendous amount to do with the teams who are vying to actually win the tournament - as many of them have already qualified directly.

It's also a rather interesting to see that FC Barcelona are trading at a shorter price than the past champions Real Madrid - especially because Barcelona have not been playing their best stuff as of late and it now appears as though the Cristiano Ronaldo factor is definitely playing into things and reflecting itself in the odds right now. The departure of Zinedine Zidane also appears to be having something to do with Real not being fancied as an outright winner.

Paris st-germain are another team in the running and they also trade in the single digits - this extremely deep side has plenty of talent and plenty of ability but you kind of get the feeling that it may come down to who they wind up with in their group and then if they have a relatively easy path to the title fixture.

This is a PSG team that you would not be surprised to see go very far into the tournament but they do not appear to have the extra caliber that sides like Juventus and Manchester City appear to be boasting at this time.

Bayern Munich are also rounding out the top 10 favorites for the 2018 champions league and they also traded a single-digit price - this is a side that has done some major damage in Europe over the last couple of seasons and many of these players have experience winning World Cups in Champions League trophies, and that's something you can never discount.

One of the most interesting outside options here appears to be Liverpool who are trading into the low double digits with a couple of bookmakers and have a sign that appears to be capable of taking on virtually anyone in Europe if they wind up playing the best stuff on the day.
