Gonna be a great night in front of the TV tonight, even though this rounds top matches are tomorrow. But still, we got Arsenal, Barcelona, Liverpool, Inter Milan all playing tonight, so there will be some great action.
So are there any good betting options?
In Group H this round will make it clear what team will follow Arsenal to the next round. I expect that team to be Olympiakos. The Greeks have five straight wins in the Greek Super League, with 7-0 in goals in the last three. They’re trailing leading Panathinaikos by nothing more than one less goal scored.
The Greeks are up against the Belgium champions Royal Standard de Liege. Standard have started their season ok and are in 4th place (last five:WDWWL).
Olympiakos are in great shape and I think playing at home will provide the edge they need. Standard will have troubles scoring against the Greeks great defense. 2-0 is a realistic outcome.
Olympiakos to win pays 1.80 by Betsson.com right now, which I consider to be a fairly good price.
The safe bet is Olympiakos to win, but beeing the Gunners fan I am I can’t help myself and I will bet a double. I just can’t see Arsenal not winning against AZ Alkmaar even with a few players on the injury list. The Dutch team have had a terrible start to their season and should not be in shape to threaten Arsenal’s three points.
Today’s bet
AZ Alkmaar v. Arsenal @ 1.50
Olympiakos v. Standard @ 1.80
A pretty nice double paying 2.70. Let’s get £250 down.
