Odds to win the competition |
|
Barcelona |
 |
|
Barcelona is the favorite to win the competition this year. With
a great play strategy by coach Guardiola, and with Messi in an
incredible form, there is no team that can beat them. Viila,
Iniesta, Xavi and many more make Barcelona's game very enjoyable
to watch. There are good news about Abidal, that seems to be in
"good shape" after undergoing surgery to remove a tumour on his
liver. He's in high spirits and he hopes to return to the pitch
soon. Another good news for Barcelona is that Dani Alves
extended his contract with FC Barcelona until 2015. |
2.20 - as a favorite
this seems the right odd for Barcelona to win the competition.
They play the best football, and if they don't loose any of
thier key players due to injuries or yellow or red cards, they
have an opened way to the final. |
|
Shakhtar Donetsk |
 |
|
Surprisingly for a lot of football fans, Shakhtar Donetks was
the only team nominated by Barcelona's coach Jose Guardiola
whena asked what team he wished to avoid in the quarter-final
stage. They eliminated AS Roma in the previous round, and if we
look at the previous encounters against Barcelona, Shakhtar
Donetk always was a tough opponent and Barcelona had trouble
eliminating the Ukranian team. |
51 - one of the
highest odds for this phase of the competition, the Champions
League trophy could be a little out of reach for Shakhtar. But,
if they manage somehow to eliminate Barcelona, we are sure odds
will change dramaticaly. |
|
Chelsea |
 |
|
The
tie of this round seems to be the all-English meeting between
Chelsea FC and Manchester United. Sir Alex Ferguson's team
denied Chelsea a first Champions League trophy in a thrilling
penalty shoot-out three years ago in Moscow. This is Chelsea's
chance for revenge. |
8 - a good offer for
the betters that will see Chelsea as the future winner of the
2010-2011 season of the Champions League. Their play improved a
lot in the last period, and Chelsea is one of the title
contenders. |
|
Manchester United |
 |
|
Manchester United surely wants to get to play the final this
year. They are the 2008 winners, winning against their current
opponent Chelsea, and they want to repeat that performance. With
Real Madrid and Barcelona, the top 2 favorites on the other side
of the table, Manchester United has a good chance to qualify for
the final. |
9.40 - after leading a
good part of the domestic league with a confortable difference
of points, Manchester United seems to have lost the steam, right
at the end. The end of the season is approaching and the fatigue
sets in. They have almost the same chances as Chelsea, since the
odds are so close. The double leg will be decided by the team
that will play better away from home |
|
Inter Milan |
 |
|
Despite loosing the first round at home against Germany's Bayern
Munich, Inter Milan managed to get a great win 3-2 in the second
leg and qualified for the quarterfinals. Their current opponent,
Shalke doesn't look as hard as Bayern Munich, but they are a
very disciplined team that can stand against any adversary.
|
10 - last year's
Champions are not seen as favorites by the bookmakers, despite
eliminating Bayern Munich after a great 3-2 in Germany. They got
closer to the leader in Italy too and they play better football
each game. They could get into the final. |
|
Shalke 04 |
 |
|
Shalke has the lowest chances to win this competition according
to the bookmakers. They have to eliminate current Champions
Inter Milan, and then have to pass either Chelsea of Manchester
United. And that will be hard, very hard. But, with a very good
tactic and a bit of luck, they can make it for the semifinals. |
77.90 - the biggest
odd for this stage of the competition. Despite eliminating
Valencia in the previous round, a team that was better quoted to
qualify, Shalke 04 has slim chances to eliminate Inter Milan. |
|
Real Madrid |
 |
|
Jose
Mourihno said that injured top Real Madrid player, Cristiano
Ronaldo will be back just in time for the double leg against
Tottenham. One more thing to worry for the English team's
defence, Ronaldo alone could make the difference in one game.
|
5.51 - the second
favorite after Barcelona to win the trophy. It will be a great
peformance for Jose Mourihno to win a second trophy after tle
last year's one with Inter Milan. If they eliminate Tottenham,
they will probably face Barcelona in the semi-final. |
|
Tottenham |
 |
|
Will
Tottenham be able to repeat the performance from the last round
when they eliminated AC Milan, one of the top favorites? Well,
Real Madrid and Juse Mourihno want the trophy this year, and the
first step is to eliminae Tottenham. Very hard mission for the
English team, but they are surely capable of getting throughm
despite having the second chance in this double leg. |
30.40 - Tottenham will
have a very tough mission to eliminate Real Madrid in this
phase. They have eliminated one of the big guns in the last
round AC Milan, and they have to repeat that performance in the
double leg against Real Madrid. |
