Manchester City are now favourites to reach the Champions League semi-finals, with bet365 going 8/13 about Manuel Pellegrini’s side qualifying at the expense of Paris Saint-Germain.
The 2-2 draw at Parc des Princes was a match riddled with defensive errors and PSG will still feel confident of making it through, with William Hill chalking up 11/8 that we see the French champions claim the spoils.
Laurent Blanc’s team won at Stamford Bridge in the previous round and Paddy Power have 7/4 about Paris winning on the night, with the Manchester City defence looking pretty vulnerable in the French capital.
City’s task is simple. Win the game and go through, with Stan James making it 8/5 that they claim victory on the night, while a 0-0 or 1-1 draw would also be enough due to the away goals rule.
Winner have 5/2 about the game ending all square, although the visitors will be in search of goals and Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a 4/1 poke with Paddy Power to make up for all those misses in the first leg by scoring first.
Real Madrid suffered a surprise 2-0 reverse at the Volkswagen Arena last week although the bookies certainly aren’t ruling out Zinedine Zidane’s team still making it through.
Paddy Power have even money that Real go through and there should be a different atmosphere at the Bernabeu where the Madrid side have been largely invincible this term.
William Hill go 2/9 that Real win on the night, with Wolfsburg a massive 16/1 (BetVictor) and the German side will look to protect the lead they have established, although attack could be the best form of defence.
Ladbrokes offer 6/1 that the match ends in a draw although Real will be throwing the kitchen sink at their opponents and Paddy Power have 5/2 that Cristiano Ronaldo gets the ball rolling.
