Friday 28 August 2009 at 10:33
Despite recent English dominating of the Champions League, it seems that Spain is the country to watch with the Champions League Betting Odds making Barcelona and Real Madrid the teams to beat in the competition this year.
Barcelona Favourites Ahead Of Big Spending Real Madrid
Barcelona are favourites to do what no other club has ever done, retain the Champions League trophy. Barcelona can be backed at odds of 9/2 with SkyBet and Boylesports and the bookies reckon their main competition will come from rivals Real Madrid, who can now boast the likes of Ronaldo, Kaka and Benzema in their line up. Real Madrid are 5/1 with Paddy Power, Stan James and Coral to win the Champions League.
Chelsea Fancied Slightly More Than Man Utd By Bookies
The best of the English challenge is expected to be Chelsea, who have gone close a few times in the Champions League but not quite succeeded. Chelsea are 15/2 with Coral which puts them just ahead of last year's runners up Man Utd who can be backed at 8/1 with Sportingbet. Man Utd look as though they could be England's best hope again so 8/1 with Sportingbet looks a decent price.
Easy Draw For Arsenal Sees The Londoners Well Backed
Arsenal were dealt a favourable group draw and as a result they have leapfrogged Liverpool in the betting, Arsenal can be backed at 10/1 with Paddy Power and Blue Square to win the Champions League whilst Liverpool are now best priced 12/1 with Bet365 and SkyBet.
