We take a look at the final Champions League last 16, 2nd leg matches taking place on Saturday and suggest a bet in each game.
BARCELONA v NAPOLI – Click here to bet
This fixture finished 1-1 back in Napoli in February.
Barcelona are undefeated in the Champions League this season and in their 3 home matches in the Group Stages they won 2 and drew 1. Their most recent League match was a 5-0 away win over Alaves, but prior to that they lost 2-1 at home to Osasuna, a shock result, given their visitors were 16/1 underdogs.
Napoli are also undefeated in the Champions League with 4 draws and 3 victories and on the road they have drawn 2 and won 1. Napoli have lost their last 2 domestic matches on the road.
Betting:
Barcelona 6/10
Draw 63/20
Napoli 17/4
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Barcelona (-1) at 31/20
Neither side has looked to be firing on all cylinders in their domestic League but Napoli’s away form is particularly concerning, I think Barcelona will win this with some room to spare.
BAYERN MUNICH v CHELSEA – Click here to bet
This tie looks done and dusted after Bayern Munich hammered Chelsea 3-0 on the road in the first leg in the last week in February. They won all 6 of their Group matches and all 3 of their home games were won by 2 goals or more.
Chelsea won 2 and drew 1 of their 3 away matches in the Group Stages and having lost to Arsenal in the FA Cup final, they most likely just want this season to end.
Betting:
Bayern Munich 4/10
Draw 17/4
Chelsea 6/1
Suggested Bet: Under 3.5 goals at 15/20
The Goal Market suggests that this is going to be an open and free flowing game, but I am not so sure. Bayern Munich pretty much have the job done and I don’t think they are going to over extend themselves while at the same time Chelsea shouldn’t offer them too many problems.
Look out for our Previews of the Quarter-Finals which take place in the middle of next week.
