 Football... Only Bettor Bets: Champions League and Europa League

On this week's Football... Only Bettor, Kevin Hatchard is joined by Mark O'Haire and Jake Osgathorpe to talk Champions League and Europa League Listen to the podcast and get their best bets...

Champions League - Outright winner

Jake: "Man City 3.30 and Bayern Munich 4.30 are in the same side of the draw so, if they come through their quarter-finals against Lyon 65.00 and Barcelona 9.60 respectively, City and Bayern will meet in the semis. Whoever wins that would be favourite in the final.

"On the other side of the draw, I would swerve PSG at [6.4 ] in the outright winner market and instead look at Atalanta 14.50."

Mark: "I'm getting a bit nervous about my bet on Atalanta but I don't think they should have drifted from 11.00 to 14.50."

Champions League quarter-finals

Atalanta v PSG

Mark: "This is probably the tie of the round. PSG are the right price, favourites at 2.12 but not clear cut. I'd be backing goals instead of win-draw-win as it's fairly evenly matched."

Kevin: "Some of the to score bets are gob-smackingNeymar odds-against 11/10 to score. There are other tasty options for goalscorers."

Jake: "Atalanta on xG are the best team in Serie A but bad defensively in Europe. PSG could exploit that. Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals on the same game multiples really appeals to me."

BTTS & O2.5 - 1.7 on the Sportsbook

RB Leipzig v Atletico Madrid

Mark: "We need to know more about Atletico's Covid-19 problems as it's possible two players have tested positive for the virus.

"Leipzig are 3.20 to win. They won't like playing against Atletico's defence and will be frustrated trying to counter-attack. But Leipzig still have quality players in attack."

"I'm siding with Atletico Madrid in a low scoring game. They've kept 22 clean sheets in all competitions this season."

Mark: "I'd take 2.20 on Atletico double chance & under 2.5 goals. But wait until Covid-19 news."

Jake: "This is the best Atletico team in the last five years on based on xG. Get Atletico onside, even without key players. Back the draw at 3.25."

Barcelona v Bayern Munich

Kevin Hatchard: "Messi produced the magic against Napoli but Barca are defensively suspect and difficult to back against Bayern."

Mark: "This is a step too far for Barca. Bayern are the bet at 2.08."

Jake: "I would be tempted to back Bayern with a 1.5 goal handicap."

Manchester City v Lyon

Mark: "Man City are 1.30 - a 77% chance of winning - but I don't think it'll be a given at a neutral ground. City are too short on their own, so I'd back City to win and both teams to score at 7/4."

Europa League quarter-finals

Manchester United and Inter Milan have already reached the semi-finals.

Shakhtar v Basel

Jake: "I'll back both teams to score at 1.78."

Wolves v Sevilla

Mark: "I'll take 9/4 for a penalty to be awarded in the game."
