The action is back underway in mid-February and it’s going to be interesting to see if any English sides are able to outperform their expectations. The bookmakers definitely think that Manchester City are in the mix to finally break their Champions League duck - even if their English Premier League position doesn’t make them look like world beaters right now.
There are several really interesting clashes that are going to be played out in the knockout stage of the competition that we are about to enter. There’s plenty of amazing action in store and plenty of solid betting opportunities out there for the savvy punter.
It’s probably not a huge surprise that Bayern Munich are trading as the betting favourites to win the Champions League this season and plenty of football observers are definitely agreeing that they are the ones to beat. On paper, Bayern have the strongest side but you have to wonder whether another team can build up enough momentum to genuinely trouble the Germans when it matters most.
Right now, punters will find Bayern Munich trading at a best price of around 11/4 to lift the trophy at the end of the Champions League. They face their stiffest competition from Manchester City who can be backed around a 9/2 margin - it’s notable that they trade at that price since the bookmakers had them listed as the outright favourites to win the thing at the start of the season.
Liverpool are trading as the third favourites with a lot listing of around 13/2. Even though they have gone off the boil a bit in the English Premier League over the holiday fixture season - they have so much talent on display and so many potential match winners on the pitch every time.
