Champions League Winner 2006/7

[Rob the I ty]

Good value on Inter at the moment. With 13 straight Serie A wins and 1 loss this whole campaign, maybe this perrenial underacheiver could finally win.

[Aarun]

I believe Inter will get to the final at least.

[Hooligans]

Call me crazy but I beleave Celtic has a chance to beat AC Milan. And advance to the next round. If Celtic's form is good on gameday. The odds are great.

UEFA Champions League 2006/07 - AC Milan vs Celtic

AC Milan	1.28
Celtic	3.50

This of course is to win the 2 game series. From Bet365

And for those who beleave Inter has a good chance of winning the Champions League the odds are nice on Bet365 @10.00

Celtic - AC Milan

I also have a feeling that Celtic could go through. Especially if they snatch a win in 1st leg at home. What I think is not impossible... Milan haven't convinced me so far this season and Celtic in front of home crowd can be tough opponent for them. It's early but I'm thinking about:

How will qualification occur (2 legs)?
Team 1 to win leg 1 and qualify @ 4.60

At bwin.

Have fun!

[Sir Fernando]

I'll have a little bit on Arsenal

[Jumbo]

Believe it or not,Roma,Roma,Roma.

[Barty_uk]

Your going by JerryDrake

I dont think so...

Man Utd or Chelsea....

Man U will be to strong for Roma next time out...

[Barrydoherty54]

I stuck on £10 on liverpool winning it a couple months ago before the played Barca!! Good odds of 28/1 so £290 back if they win it and its looks like they have a good chance now! Playing Psv next and down to 7/2 to win it

[colmoneill]

I'm looking to stick a big wad on a team, with the hope of trading out if the reach the final.

As the final could go either way on the night, I'm more concerned with trying to find which team will make it to the final....

The three English teams are the favourites with either Chelsea or Liverpool likely to get to the final in my opinion.

I know it's dangerous, but I'm discounting Valencia due to their lack of away goals all season.

The other half of the draw is harder to call.

Roma are in with a big chance.

Man U are really the only team in this half who have other things to play for and this may count against them. Bayern, Milan and Roma are all out of their respective title races and I feel one of these will be too strong for Man U.

Although Chelsea are favourites and offer only odds of 4.3 I will probably take these as my choice to get to the final and hopefully win it.

I think Robben and Shevchenko are coming into a bit of form, and with the solid spine of Mourinho, Cech, Terry, Lampard and Drogba I can see them getting by Valencia, Liverpool and PSV.

I am open to debate and will wait another week before placing my bet so please discuss!

[Rob the I ty]

Roma @11.00 seem to be the best value at the moment. I think they have a great chance to beat ManU, if Totti and Mancini are on top of their games the Giallorossi will be very tough. If Roma win and play Milan they have already beaten Milan twice this season, and I would feel confident if Roma was playing Bayern as well.

[colmoneill]

Nice one Rob.

After thinking about it for the last day or two I think I will be dodging the Chelsea bet.

They'll play their home legs first in the QF and SF if they get there, which may be crucial disadvantage in a competition that looks so tight.

Morientes will be missing for Valencia as he has just picked up a knock, but I still think they are a huge danger to Chelsea.

I may dodge this market altogether

[B-busta]

My pick is Roma as well, Just cant see a player such as Totti not winning this title in his career and this is probably his best chance.
Man U are fav's for many people but Roma is better in every department IMO.

[drawback05]

Liverpool look like finalists to me, the other side of the draw is more muddy. I'd like to be at 28/1 like that bloke up there. I'd lay them in the final then obviously !
For a winner I'd say the winner of Milan Bayern

[ksportz]

Just read through all of this thread and pretty much all the top 10 teams have been tipped / fancied along the way.

This really tells me that the Champs League is now similar to the FA Cup in that the same batch of 5-6 teams are gonna be in the fianl every year bar the odds shock finalist.

For my two'peneth I think it will be a repeat final..

Liverpool vs AC Milan

Anyone know how to bet on the two finalist? Can I do a double on the next round on those two teams??

Mike

[Muse]

Betfair have a nomiate finalists category.

but you only get 5.1 on Liverpool/AC, I don't think it's value really.

[Rob the I ty]

Good call on the final teams. As for the final itself I can't see Milan with almost the exact same lineup as the final in Istanbul not to beat Liverpool. If there has ever been a revenge match this is it, Liverpool to their credit fought back hard in that final but they had no business winning that game, Milan owned them for all but 15 minutes and L'pool scored on their only 3 chances of the game, not to mention Gerrard dove to get a penalty.

[chsua10]

No way Milan could lose this time...

[Valderrama11]

I don't think Jose thought he could lose either, revenge and all that eh?
It will be close for two reasons, 1. Liverpool are a much better side now than in 2005, in 2005 there was no, Reina, Agger, Mascherano, Sissoko, Pennant (my god, remember Nunez ), Kuyt and Crouch. And, 2. Milan are worse now than in 2005, forget the San Siro game, the Mancs didn't turn up, let Kaka run riot (Carrick is no replacement for Keane), had a half fit Vidic playing and Fletcher in midfield ffs. Milan's team is creaking with another 2 years of age and anyone who's watched them in Serie A this season won't have been overly impressed.

[Punto Banco]

Even as a pool fan it is impossible to say that AC are not Favs 4 this match... but in saying this I wouldn't discount them... they have a chance primarily by keeping tight and sneeking through or by getting a draw and taking it out in more even circumstances... I know that I will be staying away from 1x2 betting myself and will most likely dabble in Goal scorers 4 the game... its just to hard 2 pick... as a pool fan I'm just really happy that Ronaldo is cup tied... It is really AC's only deficiency as the men upfront really havnt been doing there job... It has really been all Kaka and Seedorf... Early on I just feel Agger will have problems in up against these two and may be the 1 that cost pool the match... but It could also be Gerrard 2 step up again and save them... for Liverppol to have a chance Gerrard will have 2 do something special, I'm not saying anything like 2 years ago in Istanbul (Horrible spelling) but really he just needs to play a more active and influential role up front... I personally would prefer their Barca setup... Bellamy and Kuyt with Gerrard roaming in behind but it is also hard 2 deny Crouch a spot as before last leg he really has done a spectacular job this CL season... thats enough ranting 4 now more closer to matchday....

[Sir Fernando]

Milan when they play, whether their winning/losing aound the 60 minute mark in most games will hit a 'flat spot' i've noticed, probably age catching up with a few of them, they're not the youngest squad of players.

come on Liverpool!!!!
