Live on Skysports 4: Weds 19.45: Real Madrid are 2/7 with Ladbrokes for a Champions League win and Karim Benzema is set to strike.
Real Madrid are 5/1 second favourites with Betfred to win the Champions League but they’re an even shorter price, 2/7 (Ladbrokes), to kick-off their campaign with a victory against Dinamo Zagreb.
Skybet price a victory by at least two for Jose Mourinho’s charges at just 8/11 but there is nevertheless decent value to be had in Croatia, where Madrid marksman Karim Benzema could torment the hosts.
The Frenchman is starting to warm to life in the Spanish capital and is in favour at the Bernabeu after a slow start so he’s the first scorer pick at 4/1 with Coral.
Elsewhere, Bayern Munich have made a flying start domestically and are 5/4 via Boylesports to transfer that form to the Champions League as they visit Villareal. However, the La Liga outfit are no pushovers at El Madrigal and can nick a point (12/5, bet365).
Meanwhile, 2/5 favourites Inter are home bankers as they host Trabzonspor and the Serie A side stand out in the handicaps, where Blue Square make them 11/10 to overhaul a goal start.
Recommended Bets:
Karim Benzema to score first – 4/1 (Coral)
Villareal and Bayern Munich to draw – 12/5 (bet365)
