This is a colossal week in Champions League football and one in which we could be saying goodbye to two of the really big guns.
Sports betting pundits agreed that PSG and Juventus would be in the mix at the climax. But the second favourites and last year’s finalists have an uphill task if they are to make the last eight. If they do, then it’s ‘bye bye’ to Real Madrid and Spurs!
Paris Saint-Germain vs Real Madrid (March 7, 03:45 GMT+8)
This week’s Asian Handicap Betting picks will be full of drama, and no more so than at the Parc des Princes where Unai Emery must prove that his moneybags side can break through the glass ceiling of the Champions League. But what a task! To overturn a two-goal deficit against one of the masters of Europe without your star man, Neymar, would be impressive indeed. Edinson Cavani could step in to win, but I think experience will count and so am backing Los Blancos to win with a +0.50 goal start at odds of 1.88, and that’s a 🌟🌟 bet.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Juventus (March 8, 03:45 GMT+8)
And this game could arguably spring an even bigger surprise in some respects. While Real Madrid vs PSG was always the tie of the round, the Bianconeri was a clear favourite in this one. But while Gonzalo Higuain gave them a two-goal lead, they surrendered that to leave the tie wide open. I think it will be a tight game at Wembley, but I have a sneaky feeling both teams will score.
For a 🌟🌟 bet, you can back 2 to 3 goals at odds of 1.90.
Manchester City vs FC Basel 1893 (March 8, 03:45 GMT+8)
There will be no such tension at the Etihad where Basel will arrive with the task of achieving the impossible. Well not quite, but there’s more chance of the fans turning up in shorts as the Siberian weather in Manchester continues. The Sky Blues have a habit of finishing teams off early and they’ve already done that.
I also think they’ll make a quick start here and for a 🌟🌟🌟 bet, how about a first-half home lead with a -1.00 goal handicap and odds of 2.00?
Liverpool vs FC Porto (March 7, 03:45 GMT+8)
And we have another exhibition match at Anfield where even the most optimistic Porto fan will be hoping to avoid another hiding. The Liverpool strikers are having a competition between themselves as they continue to terrorise defences at home and abroad. So my money is on at least two of Firmino, Salah and Mane to score!
And for another 🌟🌟🌟 bet I’m backing Liverpool at odds of 2.14 to win with a -1.25 goal handicap.
