Champions League Betting-Barcelona v Chelsea

Chelsea travel to the Nou Camp to take on Barcelona in the semi final of the Champions League and they will have to be at their very best if they are going to try and keep the tie in the balance for the second leg.

This could turn out to be a really good match to watch as Barcelona can only really play the one way…attack, and Chelsea will be looking to put a shaky Barcelona defence under as much pressure as possible. It’s a match that looks to have goals in it and the over 2.5 goals at 4/5 (Betfred) looks to be worth considering. In seven of the10 matches Barcelona have played in the competition this season there has been over 2.5 goals.

Barcelona have scored four goals in each of their last two home games in the Champions League and had effectively killed off the match and the tie before half time. It’s likely they will come out and try to get an early goal tonight too and with that in mind the half time/full time result of Barcelona/Barcelona 15/8 (Stan James) is another that look s to be worth a bet.

Chelsea have been hitting the goals trail on their last couple of away matches too and we believe they will score in the Nou Camp tonight. They have managed a 1-1 and 2-2 draw in recent years and another draw tonight is quoted at a best price of 14/5 (Betdaq).

We don’t believe Chelsea will win as the have only managed one away win in the competition. They are 5/1 (Betfair) to win the match, but realistically the chances of that look pretty slim and we wouldn’t be advising a stake on them.

There’s a wealth of talent on show in this match with any number of players capable of getting the first goal. We’ve gone for Xavi 18/1 (Coral) and Frank Lampard 10/1(Paddypower) as our choices.

We’re also going for Barcelona to win by 2 goals which is available at 4/1 (Ladbrokes).

Both teams to score looks to be pretty much a banker and at 4/5 (Totesport) is a bet we like.

We’re taking Barcelona to win 8/11 (888Sport) and we are having a bet on the 4-2 correct score 66/1 (Bet365) and the 3-1 scoreline at 66/1 (888Sport).
