Champions League Midweek Betting Tips PT 2

Chelsea are the even money favourites to get a result from their tricky away clash at Galatasaray. It will see Didier Drogba face off against his old club on the biggest stage in Europe and you can bank on them pushing the Blues all the way as the Turkish side are easily one of the hardest clubs to play an away fixture to in the entirety of the European continent.

The Turks are a 4.0 shot to win the first leg of the tie and the draw can be backed at a 3.3 margin. While Galatasaray certainly isn’t an ideal draw for anyone - Manchester United were able to deal with them not too long ago and it must be admitted that the bookmakers see Chelsea going through here with a 1.18 listing compared to Galatsaray’s 4.5. 

These are the types of fixtures that Jose Mourinho really knows how to win and I wouldn’t get too excited for a 4-3 thriller but expect a pair of 1-0 or 2-0 wins for the Blues as they keep their eyes firmed-fixed on the next (much more difficult) stage of the competition. 

Olympiacos and Manchester United should be an interesting affair with United having a bit more success from their endeavors in the Champions League than in their domestic situation back in England. Obviously, things have not exactly gone according to plan with David Moyes at the helm but a solid European campaign could see them finish the season with something to smile about.
