BARCELONA VS ARSENAL LIVE BETTING TIPS AND SPECIAL BETS

There is going to be an absolutely insane amount of live betting unfolding on this match and, I can assure you, that if Arsenal grab the early goal then the floodgates will certainly open up with hundreds of millions of pounds and Euros going down on this fixture. If you can get your bets in before the match starts, check out the excellent Match Specials that they have available over at Ladbrokes.

Should Arsenal manage to score in stoppage time at the end of 90 minutes- you’re looking at an 11.0 payout. Should Lionel Messi NOT score- you’ve got a 2.0 price. Messi is 2.5 to a single goal against Arsenal (not one or more- just the solitary goal). Should he score two, you’ve got a 6.0 listing. Should Messi hit three or more against the Gunners then it is a slim 13.0 payout.
How’s this for an enticing bet- Barcelona vs Arsenal to break the record for goals scored in a Champions League match (currently listed at 11 goals). A 6-6 result minimum in either direction pays out at a whopping 51.0. Should an Arsenal player leave the field on a stretcher you’re looking at a 2.75 payout. Now, that bet may seem a bit ghoulish, but if you factor in that the Gunners could be looking to run out the clock if the result looks like its going in their favour then you might see the intelligence of the bet. It would have been a great selection in the last fixture, but in this one I’ll likely be steering clear.
If the woodwork is hit three or more times you’re looking at an 8.5 payout.
After a rather dour affair between Inter Milan and CSKA Moscow, many football observers will be hoping for a first-class attacking match. If you plan to bet live on Barcelona vs Arsenal there’s a few key points that you need to remember.
Take a look at the players odds to score at anytime and keep those in mind. During the match, your money is going to be made on the “who scores next” market and those prices are always in between the anytime odds and the first goalscorer odds.
Additionally, if you’re looking to back the draw- back it around the 30 minute mark, as that’s when the odds usually start to drop if the match is still 0-0.
The best way to ensure value on all your bets, especially the correct score market, is to wager two steps ahead of the match. If its 0-0 and Barca look to be threatening, don’t back them to win 1-0 as the value just isn’t there. Back them to win 2-0 and you’ll enjoy a very solid price. The problem is that once you get your goal and the match is 1-0 you basically have to cheer against anything else happening- a stressful situation. I prefer the thrill of the chase and if you position your bets in sequential fashion- you can really capitalize.
Should Arsenal score first, expect their price to drop from 8.0 down to about 3.5. If Barcelona score first, but it was a cheap goal, then your Arsenal odds are going to skyrocket- and in that case I’d drop a cheeky bet on them to do the impossible. They nearly did it last time.
I expect a closer contest than many other punters believe and Arsenal to progress after extra time or penalties pays out at a very solid margin.
