Champions League Betting Odds Make Barcelona And Real Madrid Favourites Ahead Of Man Utd And Chelsea
Monday 14 September 2009 at 15:38
 The Champions League group stage gets underway this week and Barcelona and Real Madrid are the current favourites in the Champions League Betting Odds ahead of the likes of Man Utd and Chelsea.
Spanish Giants Dominate The Betting
Last year's Champions League winners Barcelona are favourites to do what no other club has done – retain the Champions League title. Barcelona are best priced 9/2 with SkyBet and that puts them half a point in front of their Spanish rivals Real Madrid, who are rated at 5/1 with Paddy Power, Stan James and Coral. Real Madrid have a new generation of Galacticos and will clearly be expected to do well in the Champions League.
Chelsea Rated Better Than Man Utd
Chelsea are the favourites from the English clubs, their chances are rated at 13/2 with Paddy Power and Coral. Their transfer ban shouldn't really affect their Champions League hopes this year as most players they could sign in January would be cup tied anyway. Man Utd have been involved in the final for the last two seasons and they are expected to perform well yet again, they are fourth favourites at 8/1 with Blue Square despite being just 5/1 with Ladbrokes.
Arsenal And Liverpool Have Decent Chances
Arsenal were backed after the draw for the group stage where they received a very kind draw, they are now 10/1 with Blue Square and Coral to win the Champions League. Liverpool are rated not far behind Arsenal, they are 12/1 with Bet365 and SkyBet. For more Champions League Betting Odds click on any of the bookie links above.
