BARCELONA VS ARSENAL 2010 CHAMPIONS LEAGUE PREVIEW AND BETTING TIPS

After pulling off some surprising heroics last week, Arsenal still have it all to do as they travel to the Nou Camp as a 5.0 longshot to progress to the next stage of the Champions League at the expense of Barcelona. The score is deadlocked at 2-2 with Barca in the drivers seat, having notched two away goals. It is almost surprising that this match even matters, as it easily could have been 6-0 at half-time in the first leg. 

In regards to this fixture, Barcelona are listed at 1.36 for the outright victory and I expect that price to shorten in the next 24 hours. Arsenal are listed at 8.0- and they will need to either win the match or draw at 2-2 or higher if they are to force extra time. The draw pays out at 4.5 for this fixture.
The favoured correct score outcomes are 6.5 for the 1-0 or 2-0 result in Barcelonas favour. A 1-1 draw pays out at 8.0 while a 1-0 result to Arsenal pays 13.0. Arsenal would force extra time with a 2-2 result- that pays out at a solid 17.0. A 2-1 result, which would see Arsenal progress, pays out at 23.0. 3-2 to Arsenal pays a whopping 101.0. 
Barcelona are expected to dominate the match and they are priced at 1.8 to take both legs of the half-time/full-time market. Draw/Barcelona pays out at 4.5. 
Lionel Messi's odds to score against Arsenal are listed at 1.72- the only player who trades at an odds-on price. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is out for this fixture so many expect Messi to come good and score a few goals against Arsenal. Bojan is trading at 2.5 while Thierry Henry is listed at the same price. Andres Iniesta is listed at 4.0 with Xavi trading at 4.5. 
The lowest-priced Arsenal player to score anytime is Nicklas Bendtner who trades at a 4.0 listing. Eduardo can be backed at 5.0 while Samir Nasri is likely to be the go-to-guy for this massive clash and you'll find him trading at a massive 6.0 to score anytime- that's a great bet in my opinion. With Barcelona missing several key central defenders, Arsenal may be able to force a few early ones into the net. Nasri is likely to be the focal point in the absence of Fabregas- I would go so far as to say this is Nasri's biggest test in an Arsenal jersey. 
Barcelona to progress in extra-time pays a massive 29.0, Barcelona via penalties pays out at 51.0. Arsenal to win by extra time or penalties pays 67.0.
