CL 6 & 7 Nov
George Oborne's expert picks for Champions League games on 6th and 7th November 2007.
Liverpool v Besiktas
Liverpool are in great need of a win, they haven’t won a game in a while though although they should not have problems producing a victory on Tuesday, especially as they are playing at Anfield.
Besiktas aren’t playing particularly well and are currently 3rd in their league. Besiktas will still be gunning for the UEFA spot on offer for finishing 3rd. I can see Liverpool defending a one nil lead, therefore at 1.92 for a 1 ¾ handicap looks pretty tasty.
Have a two point bet on Besiktas (+1 ¾) at odds of 1.92 on Betfair.
[Liverpool won 8-0]
Chelsea v Schalke
Schalke are playing very poorly in the Bundesliga, they haven’t won in their last four games, and currently lie seventh in the league. Chelsea are on great form and odds of 2.28 on betfair for the Chelsea win are an absolute steal.
Have a two point bet on Chelsea at odds of 2.28.
[Chelsea drew 0-0]
Fenerbache v PSV
Both teams will be looking to push into second place by winning tonight. The teams are similar in ability and the odds are therefore very cagey for each of the two teams.
What is noticeable about the two teams is that they both are having no difficulty in finding their opponents net, and at the same time conceding with a similar ease.
PSV has won three of their last four, yet have conceded four in the same period similarly Fenerbache have won their last three and have also conceded in each of those victories.
I can therefore see the game producing a large quantity of goals and therefore at odds of 2.20 a bet on the game producing over 2.5 goals looks to be a solid bet.
Have a one point bet on the game producing over 2.5 goals at odds of 2.20.
[Fenerbahce won 2=0]
I can’t really see too much other betting in the Champions League this week though.
