Champions League: Matchday 3

The story so far – 8 bets, 4 wins, 8pts staked, +2.00pts

Bayern Munich have to be opposed based on historical results but this is tricky as they are much stronger now than they were previously. There have not been many meetings between Italian and German teams in the last few years but this could be the season that the Italian league starts to improve again in Europe. Athletic Bilbao are not performing too well at home but maybe they have a decent chance at Porto. Not too far to travel for them either.

On Wednesday Juventus look good value and have to take Liverpool against Madrid as Spanish teams have done very poorly in the group stages in England. Finally going with Monaco again at home against Benfica this time.

 

Roma v Bayern Munich – Roma +0.5 @ 2.00 with Bet365

Porto v Athletic Bilbao – Athletic Bilbao @ 5.75 with Bet Victor (6.0 is around with some bookmakers)

Olympiakos v Juventus – Juventus @ 2.05 with Bet365

Liverpool v Real Madrid – Liverpool +0.75 @ 1.82 with Bet365

Champions League: Matchday 2 – Roundup

Matchday 2 results

Sporting v Chelsea – Sporting to win @ 5.25 with Bet365 – Lost (1-0) -1

PSG v Barcelona – PSG +0.5 @ 1.95 with Bet365 – WIN (3-2) +0.95

Atletico Madrid v Juve – Atletico @ 2.2 with Bet365 – WIN (1-0) +1.2

Another pleasing week on this and a little cushion of profit. PSG were great winners over Barca and I chose the PSG +0.5 result as there was value with both the home win and the draw. The straight win would have been better but this is all about value

Champions League: Matchday 2

The story so far – 5 bets, 2 wins, 5pts staked, +0.85pts

This week Chelsea look a little short at Sporting. Sporting haven’t started the season that well but have not lost with 2 wins and 4 draws. Portugal has not been a particularly happy place for English teams and a draw would not be a surprise. Similar(ish) story with Barcelona visiting PSG.

 

This week’s bets are below (all these bets will be 1pt)

Sporting v Chelsea – Sporting to win @ 5.25 with Bet365

edit (Tues AM):

A good start and probably a bit of luck with Zent beating Porto and playing most of the game against 10 men but also slightly unlucky Man City did not hold on for a draw.
