BARCELONA VS INTER MILAN 2ND LEG CHAMPIONS LEAGUE BETTING TIPS PART TWO
If you think Barcelona are going to run away with this one- back them on the handicap as that's where you'll find the best odds on Josep Guardiola's side. Barcelona (-4.0) trades at 14/1 while (-3.0) is listed at 13/2. Barcelona on a (-2.0) handicap pays out at 13/5 while Barca (-1.0) is priced at even money.
There's a number of extremely solid bets out there for this one- William Hill boasts 187 markets on this match alone. Aside from the handicap, you can take Barca to come from behind in this match and win (basically backing Inter to score first and Barcelona to come back and win by any margin) at 6/1. Inter are 18/1 to come from behind and win the 2nd leg.
If you think Barcelona are going to win the first 15minutes (scoring in the 1st 15 minutes and being ahead on the 16th) you've got a 3/1 payout. If you fancy Inter Milan to score a shock early goal you've got a solid 9/1 price. I think Jose Mourinho knows how much an early goal turns the tie in their favour and he will likely have a few tricks up his sleeve.
A penalty to be awarded pays out at 9/4 while no penalties is priced at 1/3. That penalty is 11/4 to be awarded and scored and 19/2 to be awarded and missed.
Both teams are favoured to score at an 8/11 price. Only one team to score or a scoreless 90 minutes is priced at even money. Should Barcelona be the only team to score you're looking at 7/5 while Inter pays 10/1. Barcelona are odds-on to keep a clean sheet at 19/20 and I don't actually advise that bet as I think Inter will score at one point in this match.
Lionel Messi is heavily-favoured to score in the match with a slim price of 4/7 to hit the back of the net at any time. He is 5/2 to score first or last and is priced at 3/1 to score 2 or more and 12/1 to get another famous hat-trick. Messi to score anytime and Barca to win the 2nd leg pays out at 5/6.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is trading at even money to score anytime and 4/1 to score first or last. You can back Ibra and Messi to both score at 11/10. Bojan is at 6/5 anytime while Pedro trades at 5/4. Thierry Henry is listed at 6/4 to score anytime.
Diego Milito and Samuel Eto'o are co-favourites to score for Inter and they're priced at 9/4 anytime and 15/2 to score first or last. They are both at 14/1 to hit two or more and 50/1 to hit a hat-trick.
Personally, I think Samuel Eto'o would relish scoring a goal at the Nou Camp- especially one that would tilt things dramatically back in Inter's direction. Be sure to keep your eyes on Wesley Sneijder if he is fit to start as he's priced at 4/1 anytime and 11/1 first or last.
Personally, it looks like Barcelona will likely take this fixture but I think Inter are pole position to through to the next stage. I wouldn't rule out extra-time, but I think a goal from Inter will throw down the gauntlet for Barca and Jose Mourinho will be ready for them. I think this is going to be one for the tacticians and I fancy Jose to win the day.
