Champions League Tuesday Betting Tips Pt 1
- By A.J. Ryder on February 18, 2014 17:44 GMTWe are finally through the lengthy multi-month break between the Champions League Group Stages and the Champions League Knockout Phase. With plenty of footballing action still to come as we enter the business end of the European season, today’s selection of fixtures is keeping in line with the two per day per week with Tuesday and Wednesday matches that was introduced last year.

Both matches kick off at the exact same time and you will likely imagine the bulk of punters will be keeping their eyes firmly-fixed on the mega-clash between Manchester City and Barcelona. This is going to be the biggest test of City’s side that they have seen since the Sheikh purchased the club a few years back and began putting on his own Abramovich show.
It is definitely an interesting dichotomy since Barcelona are the epitome of a massive side that has always been big and there are few clubs outside of Russia that have seen bigger turn-arounds in a short span than what we’ve seen at Manchester City over the past while.
City have some of the best players on the planet but they don’t always play the best football and they are involved in a full-on shoot-out for the English Premier League title right now with Chelsea and Arsenal.
Barca get the edge from the bookmakers and they come into the match with a 2.4 price tag to get the outright result while Manchester City are priced at a 2.9 margin and that will probably attract a fair amount of betting volume as we get closer to the match-up itself.
The draw is an interesting 3.4 and you reckon that City would be okay with this remaining tied after a single match with the mental capacity that they can handle pretty much any side in the reverse fixture needing to get the win.
