Champions League Betting Tips PT 3

Manager Zinedine Zidane deserves a lot of credit for what he put together in his first season in charge at the Bernabeau stadium. There are many neutral observers who are confident in his ability to pull off something similar here once again. There is plenty to like about Real Madrid's price – especially if you can grab them at a solid 5/1 prior to the kick off of the season.

The odds then take a pretty considerable jump to a 12/1 margin for the likes of Manchester City and it is nice to see the English side getting respect as the top English club in Europe despite many always feeling as though City have been unable to achieve what they are really capable of when they participate in European play. They always tend to perform admirably in the Premier League are nearly always in the mix for it – with last season being a rare exception to that rule.

The fact remains, however, that City just aren't that same dominant force against the more cultured and patient sides in Europe. They boast a lot of players who have had success with major continental sides but City have always been at their best playing against Premier League oppostion and countering the fast and aggressive style of attacking with the precision passing and power game they boast through the center of midfield thanks to the indomitable Yaya Toure.

Manchester City can be backed as low as a 10/1 margin right now but that is more than likely to drift a bit and you will also be able to spot them at a price of around 12/1 with a numner of major bookmakers right now too.

Juventus are another one worth keeping your eye on and there are a number of bookmakers who seriously do not seem to agree on a price for the high profile Italian side. They had a good season in the Champions League last year and much is expected of them this year- particularly if they can hold onto Paul Pogba. Some bookmakers have them floated as low as an 8/1 margin while several others have them trading at a 16/1 listing and looming as a second tier outsider.

Atletico Madrid deserve plenty of respect at a 16/1 margin right now and PSG also find themselves right in the mix with a price of about 16/1. There are a lot of big sides floating around that right now and you'll also find Dortmund in that range with a few books pricing them as high as 20s but more than a couple listing them at 16s.
