BARCELONA VS INTER MILAN 2ND LEG CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FULL PREVIEW
If the bookmakers are anything to go by, Barcelona will win tomorrow’s match but Inter Milan will be lining up in the final to face Bayern Munich. That’s right, despite boasting a price of 2/5 to win the 90 minutes at the Nou Camp tomorrow, Barcelona are priced at 5/4 to go through to the next round with Inter Milan listed at a slim 4/7 to progress to the final, but a whopping 6/1 listing to win tomorrow’s match.
The draw is priced at 15/4 and it will definitely not be enough for Barcelona as they need to make up a two goal margin, albeit with the help of an away goal.
Punters can back Inter Milan on a draw no bet at a 9/2 price with popular Irish bookmaker Paddy Power.
Additionally, Paddy Power is offering up a first rate money-back special for this massive fixture! If a team leads the match at half-time and fails to win, Paddy will refund all first/last goalscorers, correct scores and scorecast single bets.
With Barcelona priced at such slim odds, those looking to back the Catalan Club will have to do so by the handicap market if they are looking for some decent value. Barcelona (-1.0) rewards at even money while Barcelona (-2.0) pays out at a solid 3/1. You know that most of Barca’s fans will be expecting an absolute romp tomorrow to send their players through to the next stage.
Personally, I think that Inter Milan will score a goal at the Nou Camp and that absolutely piles the pressure on top of Barca. Should Inter score first during the match, Barcelona will need to conjure up a 4-1 victory in order to progress. I think a 3-1 result is quite plausible and that would see us into extra time- can you imagine how exciting that would be?
The odds of a 3-1 result are very plausible, with Paddy Power listing it at 15/2. A 2-0 result for Barcelona is the favoured outcome at a 6/1 price- that would see Barcelona through on away goals.
Lionel Messi is at odds of 4/7 to score anytime and 11/4 to score first. He is 15/8 to score first for Barcelona. Messi trades at 17/2 to hit a hat-trick vs Inter Milan.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is at 10/11 anyime and 4/1 first or last. He is 11/4 to score first for his team and you’ll also find Pedro trading at the same price.
Bojan and Thierry Henry are listed at 13/10 anytime and 5/1 first or last. They are both trading at 7/2 to score first for their team.
Inter Milan will be looking to Diego Milito and he is listed at 7/4 anytime and 7/1 first or last. He is 11/4 to score first for Inter. Samuel Eto’o knows a thing or two about scoring at the Nou Camp and he really could turn out to be thorn in Barca’s side. He’s listed at 15/8 anytime (a great price) and 15/2 first or last. He is 3/1 to notch the first for Inter.
Wesley Sneijder could start tomorrow is he is passed fit and you’ll find him at 11/4 anytime and 10/1 to score first or last. He is 4/1 to score first for Inter.
If you’re looking to back a red card at any point in the match, you’re looking at an 11/5 price with Rafa Marquez, Gerard Pique and Thiago Motta all listed at 16/1 to be red carded. A penalty to be awarded at any point is at a very slim 6/4 price.
