- By A.J. Ryder on August 20, 2014 01:14 GMTAtletico Madrid, who deserve plenty of respect, are available at 15.0 and looking like an interesting shot to get the tournament victory. Arsenal and Juventus are both in the hunt at 21.0 while Monaco is continuing to move forward and they look good at a 26.0 price right now.

Borussia Dortmund can also be backed at 26.0 and they look like one of the higher odds sides that are ripe to move forward and completely out-perform expectations this year in European competition.
It’s also extremely interesting to see Liverpool priced at a 29.0 listing to get the better of the other teams in the contest and win their first Champions League in nearly a decade. One gets the feeling that it would be a complete and total vindication of Brendan Rodgers leadership even if Liverpool weren’t able to finish in the top four in the Premier League this year.
However, with Manchester United getting off to a sputtering start in the copmetition one has to wonder just how far Liverpool could push it this year in shifting United down to a lower tier of competition.
There are a few other interesting and notable sides still trading in the mix for a Champions League victory but the odds start to increase fairly dramatically at this point. Punters will find Roma available at 34.0 while Benfica can be backed at a 41.0 price tag right now.
Athletico Bilbao are an interesting outside shot at 67.0 but you reckon they will be satisfied to get out of the group stages. The odds then jump considerably to CSKA Moscow at 101.0 along with Bayer Leverkusen, SChalke, Zenit St. Petersburg, Porto and Shakhtar Donetsk.
