The final round of group games in the UEFA Champions League
is upon us, and with only two dead rubbers it promises to be two nights of
tension and excitement for football punters.
A few teams have been completely out of their depth in this year's
competition, none more so than MSK Zilina.
They have to be one of the weakest teams I have ever seen play in the
Champions League, and while their game against Spartak Moscow is one of the
matches that has no bearing on qualification, I can't see them picking up a
point. Wait for the team news from
Moscow, but if McGeady and Ari take the field they should slice through
Zilina's leaky defence. Spartak are 2.38
with youwin.com - that's a bet.
This stage of the group stages always throws up value in the
draw, many teams will be going out knowing that a stalemate will achieve as
much as a win, and that can change the pattern of play considerably when it
comes to the final quarter of a game.
Two matches in this category are Manchester United v Valencia and
Shakhtar Donetsk v Braga. United have
always found it tough against Spanish sides, and while they took all three
points from the Mestalla, Valencia enjoyed the best of the play that
night. The draw is 3.80 on
youwin.com. Shakhtar should win their
game against Braga at first glance, they hammered them 3-0 in the reverse
fixture, but Braga were value for their win over Arsenal, and as that followed
a victory against hopeless Partizan, their confidence will be up. If this one goes to the final 30 minutes with
the game still in the balance, expect Shakhtar to try to shut the game
down. The draw is 3.60 with
youwin.com. Back both draws and have
some on the double at 13.68.
As usual, youwin.com have been generous with their enhanced
multiple offering, with 8 extra value accumulators to choose from. It might not excite those looking to play at
big prices, but 2.75 about Barcelona, Arsenal and Bayern all winning their home
ties is a price that will have the big hitters licking their lips. Qualification and group classifications will
be in the balance throughout both nights, so make sure you check out
youwin.com's live betting for some in-play value. Happy punting!
