Spain And England Dominate Champions League 2010 Betting Odds With Barcelona As Clear Favourites
Monday 27 September 2010 at 17:37
 Spain and England continue their dominance of the Champions League with the top five places in the bookmakers lists filled by teams from the two top countries in recent Champion League history.
Barcelona And Real Madrid Too Strong For English
Spanish football is dominant on the world stage after the recent World Cup and the two main clubs in Spain look set to rule the Champions League in 2010. Barcelona won the crown in 2009 and will be very hard to beat again especially since they have added David Villa to their side since the World Cup. The bookmakers quote Barcelona as the clear favourites for the Champions League 2010 with William Hill and Totesport offering the best odds of 11/4.
The biggest threat to Barcelona retaining their title could come from their compatriots Real Madrid. Now with Jose Mourinho at the helm Madrid have also added German midfielder Mesut Ozil to their star studded line-up and Mourinho is spoilt for choice when picking his team. Mourinho looks set to challenge for his third Champions League and Real Madrid are a best priced 11/2 with VC Bet and Ladbrokes.
Man Utd, Chelsea And Arsenal Chasing Spanish Greats
The three big English clubs will have their supporters in the Champions League markets but all three have questions to answer. Man Utd are as big as 9/1 for Champions League success this year and that must reflect the fact that the club have failed to add to their squad significantly over the summer. However, Alex Ferguson's men are still a major force and Paddy Power and Stan James will get plenty of takers of their quote of 9/1. Chelsea have an aging squad and must prove they can finally lay their Champions League hoodoo to rest. The boys from Stamford Bridge are 11/2 with Coral and nearly team Arsenal are 12/1 with Ladbrokes and Blue Square. Home supporters after a bigger price may be tempted by Tottenham at 40/1 with Boylesports after Harry Redknapp's men made it through qualifying to play in the group stages of the Champions League.
