Champions League Picks
The Champions League group stage of sports betting is coming to a close for the 2011 – 12 seasons. Yesterday were the final games prior to the top teams advancing to the next round. As a result, some teams left everything on the field, while others carried over their weak play and were soundly defeated. Here is a bookie software look ahead to the next batch of games scheduled for December 6, 2011.
Olympiacos v Arsenal – In the second round of the Champions League tournament, Olympiacos opens against Arsenal. At first glance, Olympiacos supporters were probably hoping for this matchup, as Arsenal’s defense has struggled greatly over the last couple of seasons. However, over the last month and a half of EPL play, the Gunners offense has basically picked up the slack for the defense. What this means when betting on the game, is that you should take the Gunners, since they have a ton of momentum right now.
Barcelona v Bate – Another game fans and handicappers alike will be watching with a close eye, will be Barcelona v Bate. Barcelona is the defending champion of the tournament, and has lived up to their end of the bargain, by dominating their competition. Barcelona won all four games in the group stage of the tournament and appears to be destined for another shot at the UEFA Champions League Cup. When you have a roster with seven of a possible 11 franchise stars, it is hard to imagine that they could lose to any other team. Look for Barcelona to turn this game into an NFL game, by winning seven to nothing.
Chelsea v Valencia – This game should be the most intriguing one of the December 6, card, as Chelsea is reeling after a loss last night too Bayern Leverkusen on November 23, two to one. Chelsea must put in a better performance, in order to come close to a Championship berth.
