BAYERN MUNICH VS LYON CHAMPIONS LEAGUE LAST MINUTE BETTING TIPS

Bayern Munich are big favourites to take the opening leg of their 2010 Champions League semi-final tie with Lyon by virtually all major bookmakers listing them at an odds-on price. Ladbrokes has priced the Germans at a slim 1.66 against Lyon’s odds of 5.5. You’ll find the draw available at 3.5 and that’s not a bad price for the neutral supporters.

In regards to outright qualification, Bayern are available at a 1.66 price tag while Lyon are listed at 2.1 to go through. This indicates that the bookies don’t see a huge amount between the teams over two legs- but they do seem convinced that Bayern are going to put together a big performance here. Personally, I think that Lyon could pull an Inter today- surprise the favourites and turn the tie upside down.
You can even take Lyon (+1.0) on the handicap and get an even-money payout. Bayern Munich (-1.0) pays out at 2.75. Bayern Munich have the edge on first goalscorer with a 1.53 price while Lyon are listed at 2.87. No goals in the match at all pays out at 8.0.
Mario Gomez is priced alongside Ivica Olic at 2.37 while Miroslav Klose sits at 2.62. Arjen Robben is trading at 2.75 while Lisandro Lopez is listed at the exact same price. Thomas Muller and Franck Rivery are available at 3.5, which is the same price as Bafetimbi Gomis. Michel Bastos and Sidney Govou are priced at 4.5.
A red card at any point in this match pays out at 3.25 while an own goal at any time is listed at 9.0. Any player to hit a hat-trick is priced at 21.0 while any player to score two goals or more will pay out at 3.5.
Bayern Munich are listed at 2.75 to win to nil while Lyon pays out at 6.5. The Germans are 2.0 to keep a clean sheet while Lyon trade at 3.75 to do the same. A penalty to be scored at any point in the match pays out at 3.0 while a missed penalty is listed at 10.0.
I think this one comes down to how organized Lyon can stay during the opening 45 minutes. Bayern will look to come out and dominate the game quickly at the outset. I think they definitely fancy themselves over the French side, but they are a team that has been riding their luck for the entire tournament. A complete tactical cock-up from Sir Alex Ferguson gifted Bayern their semi-final tie against Lyon and I think that the French team have more to play for and are good value for money.
