While both of the contests have significant favourites to win tomorrow’s affair - the first leg of a two-legged series for those who aren’t initiated in Champions League structure - but the fact remains that both Barcelona and Bayern Munich are heavily-favoured to progress to the next stage of the competition. In fact, it will be an absolute shock for the punters if Atletico or Manchester United wind up progressing through to the semi-finals of the Champions League proper. 

Sure, stranger things have happened, but what a story it would be if one of these teams (particularly David Moyes’ side) were able to secure passage through to the semi-finals. 

Barcelona host Atletico in the first fixture and they are priced at 1.53 to get the victory while the visitors can be backed at a lengthy 6.5 listing for the dramatic upset victory. The draw is trading at 4.20 and looks like much more of an in-running wager than something you would lump on before the match. 

In regards to outright qualification over the two legs of the Champions League quarter final, you will find Barca available at a 1.36 price while Atletico is trading closer to 3.0 with most major bookmakers. 

It probably won’t surprise too many that Lionel Messi is the favoured anytime goalscorer in the match with an extremely short price of 1.36 to get on the scoresheet at any point in the fixture. The next shortest-priced contender is Neymar who is available at 2.20 while Pedro Rodriguez is available at a 2.37 listing. 

The shortest-priced correct score outcome is 2-0 paying a 7.5 margin.
