BARCELONA TO THRASH PANATHINAIKOS- BETTING ODDS AND TIPS

Barcelona head into tonight's champions League match up, with Greek outfit Panathinaikos, on the back of a weekend they will be trying their darndest to forget. Having suffered a shock defeat to Spanish minnows Hercules, the team’s intention tonight will be clear from the get-go that this loss was merely a blip,  and will not be repeated.
With that loss signalling Barca's first home league defeat since May 2009- home fans did not hide their feeling as the players left the field, and this will serve as more than enough motivation heading into tonight’s game.
Betfair are the pick of the bookies when looking at a 'sure thing' bet of a Barcelona win at 1.15, to Panathinaikos's massive 28.0. Don’t even bother looking at the draw odds...this result will go one way, and one way only.
There are few changes from a Barcelona team make-up perspective with Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta and Xavi all remaining world-class in their respective positions, and David Villa having already started to score for Barca.
Statistics don’t lie and the fact remains that Barcelona have been the most successful and consistent Spanish club in the Champions League since the mid 2000's having last won Europe's most prestigious club competition in 2006.
Betfair are also putting this game at a highly one sided high scoring affair with a 1-0 Barcelona win at 10.0, less likely than a 3-0 win at 7.6. 
To put into perspective the gap between these two sides is evident by the massive 630 given to a 3-0 win the way of Panathinaikos. To any football fan this result is unfathomable.
Pep Guardiola's Barcelona team will start not only today game as favourites, but also favourites to win the entire tournament.
A quick review of the Barcelona starting line-up reads as the 'who's who' of world football, and as such the scorer odds are conservative at best with David Villa odds on to score at 1.36, with Lionel Messi at 1.4. 
On the Greek end- ex- Liverpool striker Djibril Cisse is expected to cause Barcelona hassles, however the margin is clearly evident with him set at 13.0 to open, and 6.0 to find the net at anytime.
William Hill also have some great deals evident with under/over goal forecasts with under 3.5 sitting at an enticing 1.7, and over 3.5 at 2.05
An interesting statistic to note heading into today’s showdown is that Panathinaikos have lost on 10 of the 11 previous visits to the Iberian nation, securing a single draw. When the team last met in the group stage of 2005-06, the Greeks were hammered 5-0 at Camp Nou.
Barcelona will be under pressure this week...and they will rise to the occasion. This match will be one-sided with Barca winning...and winning well
