Holding a precious 2-0 first leg lead over Torquay, Cheltenham are just 2/9 via bwin to get the job done and book their place in the League Two play-off final as the pair prepare to renew hostilities at Plainmoor.

The Gulls are 4/1 courtesy of Ladbrokes to turn things around in front of their own supporters but they’ve left themselves a lot to do and their current form doesn’t suggest that they can overhaul the two-goal deficit despite the Robins poor recent results on the road.

Nevertheless, the hosts are Stan James’ 11/10 favourites to win the actual second leg but with Cheltenham only needing to protect what they have it looks likely to end up all square, a result Boylesports rate at 5/2.

Taking that further William Hill mark 6/1 against it finishing one-apiece but with Mark Yates’ Robins likely to look to keep things tight, it’s worth considering Coral’s 5/1 for scores to be level at the end of each half, a wager that would be a success if the contest is goalless.

Recommended Bets:
Draw/Draw in HT/FT – 5/1 (Coral)

Chelsea’s achievement in reaching the Champions League final can’t be overstated. Reduced to ten men and with what can only be described as a makeshift defence, the Blues produced an incredible rearguard effort to repel a Barcelona side widely regarded as the best club team in the world despite missing out on the La Liga title and Europe’s top prize.

Having toppled the defending champions in such dramatic circumstances, Chelsea’s name must surely be on the trophy then, some might suggest, however they face another huge test in the final, which by coincidence, they have to contest in their opponents’ home stadium. Subsequently, they’re bet365’s 15/8 outsiders to be crowned European champions in Bayern Munich’s Allianz Arena, where the Bundesliga outfit are 4/9 with Stan James to prevail.

It follows that Jupp Heynckes’ troops are favoured to emerge victorious in the match betting, Skybet pricing them at 5/6 to come out on top in normal time, while Boylesports quote Roberto Di Matteo’s men at 7/2 and the mouth watering showdown is 11/4 via Betfred to be all square after 90 minutes, a wager that could prove popular when there is so much at stake.

With that in mind, punters sensing a cautious approach from both teams can back the clash at 10/1 (William Hill) to go to extra-time having finished goalless, but the absence of John Terry and the fitness doubts surrounding Gary Cahill and David Luiz mean that Di Matteo might face something of a crisis at the back and it follows that the Blues’ potentially depleted defence reduces the likelihood of them keeping a clean sheet.

It could also be pivotal to the outcome as it’s hard to see Chelsea producing a display of rearguard resilience mirroring that in the Camp Nou and the Bavarians could therefore edge it, Ladbrokes making them a tasty 11/4 to defeat the Blues by a one-goal margin. Alternatively, the ‘hosts’ are 8/1 courtesy of BetVictor to finish on the right side of a 2-1 scoreline and Coral post 7/2 against Heynckes’ charges shading it following a cagey, level first period.

The unstoppable Mario Gomez meanwhile, has struck a dozen times in the competition this term, a record bettered only by Barca’s Lionel Messi and he’ll relish coming up against a weakened Chelsea back four. The Munich front man is an enticing 4/1 with Paddy Power to break the deadlock and 6/5 (Coral) to strike at any stage.

Elsewhere, former Blues winger Arjen Robben is 6/4 via Paddy Power to return to haunt his old club by getting on the scoresheet, BetVictor rate Didier Drogba at 10/1 to open the scoring at the other end and the same firm offer the Ivory Coast international at 16/5 to add to his tally at any time.

Recommended Bets:
Draw/Bayern in HT/FT betting – 7/2 (Coral)
Mario Gomez to score first – 4/1 (Paddy Power)

“Aidan O’Brien’s stranglehold on the Investec Oaks has been broken by The Fugue after an impressive trial success, and John Gosden’s charge will be hard to displace from the head of the betting after that victory,” said Coral’s David Stevens.

“Now all eyes will be on the Dante, to see if Bonfire or Mandaean can lay down an Investec Derby challenge to hot favourite Camelot,” added Stevens.

BetVictor are also betting on who will play in the centre of the defence for the Three Lions and make Chelsea’s John Terry and Gary Cahill the 4/5 favourite with Terry and Lescott 5/2 and 8s Bar.

BetVictor Spokesperson Charlie McCann: “Rooney is 9/2 fav to be England top scorer but it is possible that he may only play one game in the tournament; in the absence of Rio Ferdinand we think Hodgson will pair the Chelsea defenders Terry and Cahill but they have not played together too many times at Club level and Terry and Lescott might be the value at 5/2.”

Money continues to pour in for England and they are now just 2/1 to win the series 2-0. Andrew Strauss’ form is still in the spotlight and Hills offer 5/6 he scores 32 or less while he is 5/1 to notch a century. The Test is 5/1 to be complete on day 3, 7/4 on day 4 and 4/6 to last all 5 days.

“England are being backed as if they cannot lose and the question on punters lips is not who will win the test but how quickly England will put the test to bed,” said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams.
