Champions League Football Betting Update - 04-08-08
April 8 - UK online bookmakers have gone as short as 4/6 about Manchester United's chances of winning tomorrow night's second leg quarter final match against Roma in the latest 2008 Champions League betting.

Roma's coach has already greased the wheels by proclaiming that United are the best team in the world with the best player in the world. No, it's not Wes Brown silly but Ronaldo, the snotty second coming of Pele. But don't be fooled by Roma's rope-a-dope strategy. This is the team that saw of Real Madrid and they play very well on the road.
Still, it would be a sports betting upset of note if they were to win this game, and a huge upset if they wiped out the 0-2 deficit from the first leg and advanced to the last four. Their odds to win tomorrow night are 9/2. The draw, which seems the least likely result of all is 5/2.
The other game sees Barcelona heavily favoured to dispose of Schalke. Barca are a best price of 4/9 to win this one.
Chelsea and Arsenal have both scored early goals in their quarter final clashes, keeping alive the very real possibility that three English Premier League teams will be in the semi-finals of the Champions League, an unprecedented event that displays the utter dominance of the league in world football today.
