OLYMPIAKOS VS BORDEAUX CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 2010 BETTING TIPS
We’re just a few minutes away from kick-off in the lower-profile Champions League fixture of the day. We have Laurent Blanc’s Bordeaux side taking on Greek stalwarts Olympiakos and the bookies are listing the visiting French side as the favourites.
Top UK bookmaker William Hill has posted odds of 6/4 outright on Bordeaux to take the victory. You’ll find the Greeks not far behind at 2/1 with the draw listed at the exact same price. I have a feeling that this one could be really close and it will be difficult for either side to run away with this one.
Bordeaux have won five Champions League fixtures on the bounce and have only conceded one goal during that period. The favoured correct score result is either 1-0 to Bordeaux or a 1-1 draw, both listed at 9/2 margins. Olympiakos 1-0 pays out at 5/1 while A 2-0 or 2-1 victory for the French side pays out at 8/1. A 2-2 draw pays a solid 16/1 price.
Bordeaux are 11/5 to win to nil and 13/10 to keep a clean sheet. If both teams score during the match, you’re looking at 11/10 while just Bordeaux getting on the scoreboard pays out at 13/5. Neither team to score pays out at 6/1.
An own goal at any time during this match pays out at 9/1 and if the first goal is an own goal you’ve got a hot 16/1 payout. When games are close, like we expect this one to be, it can make sense to make a pre-match come from behind and win bet. Both side are 15/2 to come from behind and draw the match, while come from behind and win pays out at 12/1 for the Greeks and 10/1 for the French.
Arsenal target Marouane Chamakh is the favoured goalscorer for Bordeaux with a 6/4 price anytime and 11/2 first or last. Former Manchester United player David Bellion trades at 15/8 anytime while the talented Yoann Gourcuff can be backed at a 2/1 price anytime. Henri Saivet is a quality player you may not have heard of and he is listed at 9/4 to score anytime. Bordeaux have a number of goal threats.
The Greeks will be turning to Costas Mitroglu and Matt Derbyshire at 15/8 anytime while Diogo and former Newcastle player Lomana Lua Lua both trade at 2/1 to score anytime. Olof Mellberg is also taking to the field and he trades at 8/1 to score anytime.
Bordeaux come into this one as the form side with more potential goalscorers, the Greeks will be looking to keep this one tight and will try to avoid conceding. I think it either goes Bordeaux’s way or winds up as a 0-0 draw.
