Champions League Preview 27th November

November 27, 2007

The final Champions League fixtures of November kick off on Tuesday night, and we’ve got some great value offers to make for some exciting betting!

The first big game on Tuesday night sees Man Utd host S. Lisbon at Old Trafford (live on ITV1, k/o 7:45pm). United’s European form has been fantastic this season, as they are the only Champions League participants with maximum points, having notched up 4 successive wins in the competition. However, they can expect fierce resistance from S. Lisbon, who need a win to maintain their hopes of beating AS Roma to second place in Group F. With Sporting old boys Nani and C. Ronaldo looking to start the match, expect them to be fired up against their old team. Man Utd have been touted as favourites for this match, with Better pricing them at 4/9 to get the home win. With S. Lisbon given odds of 1/2 to get an unlikely win, the safe money is on Man Utd to get the three points.

BGbet are offering to refund all losing first goalscorer bets on Man Utd v S. Lisbon if Nani scores at anytime in this match.

The other game of interest for British supporters has Sevilla facing Arsenal at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán (live on ITV4, k/o 7:45pm). Arsenal secured their place in the Champions League first knockout round three weeks ago but they will have to avoid defeat at Sevilla if they wish to finish Group H as leaders. With three successive victories following their defeat at the Emirates Stadium on matchday 1, Sevilla are just a point behind and will overtake the Gunners should they beat them at home. Bookmakers have placed Sevilla as favourites for this match, with centrebet offering 5/4 on a Sevilla win and VC Bet pricing Arsenal at 19/10 to take all 3 points win.

BGbet are offering to refund all losing first goalscorer bets on Sevilla v Arsenal if Emmanuel Adebayor scores at anytime in this match.

Both these matches are part of VC Bet’s fantastic enhanced doubles and multiples offers, such as 9/1 that Man Utd and Sevilla will both win and 54/1 for both Tevez and Adebayor to score first in their respective matches.

Wednesday night’s action kicks off with Liverpool v Porto at Anfield (live on Sky Sports 2, k/o 7:45pm).

Liverpool’s record 8-0 defeat of Besiktas has breathed new momentum into their campaign, with what had begun to look like a forlorn dream after Benitez’ men had followed their initial 1-1 draw in Porto with successive defeats, 1-0 at home to Marseille and 2-1 at Besiktas. Liverpool still have a lot of work to do but are determined Portuguese opposition will not end their interest in Europe’s premier club competition for the second time in three years. Group A leaders Porto travel to Anfield in high spirits and will be looking to get 3 points to guarantee their passage to the knockout stages.

After Liverpool’s last European performance, bookmakers have priced them as favourites at home, with Better offering 2/5 on a win for the Reds and centrebet offering odds of 7/1 on Porto pulling off the result that kills Liverpool’s Champions League ambitions.

BGbet are offering to refund all losing first goalscorer bets on Liverpool v Porto if Steven Gerrard scores at anytime in this match.

Elsewhere on Wednesday night, Chelsea face Rosenborg at the Lerkendal Stadion (live on Sky Sports Xtra, k/o 7:45pm). The last time these two teams met in the first game of Group B it finished 1-1 at Stamford Bridge, a game Chelsea were expected to win. As it transpired, Rosenborg have been able to maintain this level of performance and will be closer to qualifying for the knockout stage of the competition if they are able to gain maximum points from this match.

Although Rosenborg have performed fantastically well in this campaign, bookmakers have priced Chelsea as favourites at 4/7 (VC Bet) with Better offering 9/2 on Rosenborg continuing their impressive Champions League run.

BGbet are offering to refund all losing first goalscorer bets on Rosenborg v Chelsea if Joe Cole scores at anytime in this match.

VC Bet are offering enhanced doubles and multiples offers, so if you want to team up Arsenal, Liverpool, Man Utd, Celtic and Chelsea, VC Bet are offering odds of 20/1 that they all win their matches and 30/1 that Torres and Drogba both score first during the Liverpool v Porto and Rosenborg v Chelsea matches respectively.
