UEFA Champions
League: Roma v Manchester United, Schalke v Barcelona
Only
a few hours away from the Tuesday's UEFA Champions League
games Roma vs. Manchester United and Schalke 04 vs. Barcelona,
and we have the best odds on the football games offered by the
reputable British online bookmakers. At the U.K. licensed
bookmaker
Bet365 (official website, live
betting available), the punters are offered a
great payout, no matter which team they choose tonight. Let's
look at the Champions League quarterfinal games today in more
depth. Starting with the Roma vs. Manchester United game,
likely the most bet on UEFA Champions League game today in the
U.K. British fans would be hardly disappointed to see Manchester
Utd as the favorite team to win the first leg of the
quarterfinals, at
Bet365 the Red Devils are sitting on odds to
win the game of 2.40 (7/5), while the hosts from Roma are
underdog with odds 3.25 (9/4) and 3.00 (2/1) would be the payout
for a draw. Bettors are encouraged to pair their first leg
Champions League quarterfinal bet with the antepost to win the
UEFA Champions League outright, where Manchester Untied are
second favorite to win the football competition with odds 3/1
and AS Roma is underdog with odds 11/1. Keep in mind that Roma
top scorer Francesco Totti has been ruled out of Tuesday's
Champions League quarter-final first leg after suffering a thigh
injury on Saturday, while Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van
der Sar looks set to return after a groin injury.
Quickly moving to the second UEFA
Champions League game today, the matchup Schalke 04 vs.
Barcelona. Even though the game is perceived by the British
bookies as David vs. Goliath (Barcelona is the favorite to win
the Champions League at
Bet365 with odds 11/4 and Schalke is
underdog with odds 50/1), punters still stand a good chance to
make money with either of the two contenders. Barcelona is the
likely squad to win the Tuesday's Champions League game, but
Barca would still pay out on 2.20 (6/5) odds, while a victory by
Schalke 04 would deliver on odds 3.40 (12/5) to anyone betting
on the German team. As far as team condition, Schalke midfielder
Ivan Rakitic has been ruled out of Tuesday's Champions League
quarter-final first leg because of an ankle injury, but at
Barcelona Lionel Messi, Deco and Ronaldinho are all ruled out
for the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinal game
today.
