LYON VS BORDEAUX CHAMPIONS LEAGUE BETTING TIPS

The all-French clash in the 2010 Champions League is one of the more intriguing fixtures, with a lot of footballers observers being quite impressed that Bordeaux have managed to make it this far. A combination of footballing guile and some fairly soft draws have seen the French upstarts make it to the quarter-finals to tackle the league-leading Lyon.

Olympique Lyon are considered the solid favourites to win this one with an 11/10 price from William Hill. The draw pays out at 21/10 while Bordeaux pays a solid 14/5 margin. Clearly the match should go in Lyon’s direction, but I do fancy Bordeaux to notch an away goal to keep the tie alive heading back to their stadium for the return leg.
In regards to the correct score betting, you’ll find that a 1-0 result for Lyon is the favoured outcome at a 9/2 margin. Lyon to win 2-0 pays out at a solid 15/2 while 2-1 pays 8/1 and a 3-0 whitewash pays a hefty 16/1. 3-1 for Lyon (a plausible scoreline if the hosts play well) trades at 18/1.
A 1-1 draw pays out at 11/2 and is considered to be the second favourite outcome to this fixture. A 0-0 draw is listed at a slim 13/2 while 2-2 pays out at 18/1.
Bordeaux are trading at 7/1 to win the match 1-0 while they are listed at 16/1 to win 2-0. A Bordeaux 2-1 victory pays out at 12/1.
The correct score betting is especially interesting with Lisandro Lopez considered a heavy favourite to score. He’s trading at around 5/4 at the moment and 5/1 to score first or last. He’s 15/2 to score 2 or more and 33/1 to hit a hat-trick. Michel Bastos is listed alongside Bafetimbi Gomis at 7/4 anytime and 6/1 first or last. Kim Kallstrom is at 7/2 anytime and 10/1 first or last. Sidney Govou is worth taking a look at with a 4/1 anytime price.
Marouane Chamakh is 15/8 to score anytime and 13/2 to score first or last. Fernando Cavenaghi is listed at 2/1 and 7/1, while the talented Yoann Gourcuff is listed at 11/4 anytime.
Keep in mind that you can also get each-way odds on the first goalscorer with a 1/3 margin on the top 5 places.
I think if Lyon are going to take this one, it will likely be by a two goal margin, so I’ve got my eyes on the handicap betting where Lyon (-1.0) trades at a very solid 3/1. Lyon (-2.0) is a hefty 17/2.
There is goalscorer match betting in this one between Lisandro Lopez and Marouane Chamakh. The tie is odds-on at 4/5 while Lopez is favoured at 9/4. Marouane Chamakh is at 11/4 to score more goals than his opponent. There is an even tighter one listed between Bafetimbi Gomis and Fernando Cavenaghi with the Lyon player at 5/2 and Bordeaux’s representative at 3/1. The tie pays 7/10.
