At the outset, the bookmakers appear to be giving the odds to Cristiano Ronaldo & Co as they are considered to be the outright favourites to secure qualification. As it currently stands, you’ll find the Galacticos trading at a 4/6 listing to progress through to the final by any means.
Bayern Munich, last year’s defending champion, are the 11/10 longshots to venture through to another final. With Real Madrid playing some really champagne stuff at the moment, there is every reason to back them now if you believe they will get the better of the German side in the first leg.
What often happens is the first leg winds up being a far too cagey affair and things sort of fizzle out into a 0-0 draw. You get the feeling that this year it could be a little different as both sides simply offer so much going forward.
The German side are favoured to win the first leg and the bookmakers have them listed at odds-on to do so. They are trading at a 4/6 price right now and it will be interesting to see how the odds fluctuate during the build-up to the match.
The last hour or so will be interesting as you might expect a fair amount of late money to pour in on Real Madrid. WIth a match that’s likely to be a cagier affair despite both teams offering up a lot going forward, there is every chance that the first goal in this one comes from a dead ball situation.
