I have:

City/Bayern Draw
Villareal/Napoli Draw
Real Madrid to beat Ajax
Man Utd to beat Basel
Inter to beat CSKA Moscow
Chelsea to beat Valencia (last night = win)
San Diego Chargers (-10.5) v Jacksonville Jaguars (Monday night = win)

€20 on.
Pays €9,230

timmy880 · 07-12-2011 3:08pm

Under 2.5 goals in Basel V Utd is the best value I can see for tonight.

seanhynes · 07-12-2011 3:11pm

crap odds but can see it winning 20 returning 63..Lille are the dodgiest of the 3 but they played very well away to Moscow and Trabzonspor barring that win in milan and turkish teams in general are usually very poor travellers

Man Utd 4/7
Benfica -1 2/5
Lille 4/9

Whats with the lack of corner markets on bet365 for the CL games tonight ?

They were fine for me. I did over 10.5 Asian corners in Man U/Lille/Ajax games.

Treble @6/1

seathestar · 07-12-2011 3:27pm

A Treble tonight:

Man Utd 4/6
Lyon 10/11
Lille 2/5

All have to get results to get through, cant see Utd playing for a draw, they should go all out for the win. Lille should have too much for the Turkish side. Slightly worried about Lyon, havent been great away but Zagreb have been poor throughout the group stage so hopefully they can get the job done.

lille/traz- Over 5.5 cards @ 1.83
Treble @5/1

hefferboi · 07-12-2011 4:08pm

What do ye make of CSKA?? I can see them beating Inter as Inter are already through and Moscow need the win.

After reading some stats in opta....... this game has draw written all over it: but good luck Razor if you back Napoli.

Villarreal lost just two of their first 38 European home games (excluding qualifiers), but have lost the last two to now make it four defeats (W25 D11 L4).

If they lose, Villarreal will become the first ever Spanish side to finish with 0 points in the group stage in Champions League history.

Napoli have won none of their last nine games away from home in European competition (D4 L5, excluding qualifiers). One of the games in that run was a 1-2 defeat to Villarreal in February in the Europa League.

Napoli playmaker Marek Hamsik has scored in his last two European appearances against Villarreal.

This will be the fourth encounter between Villarreal and Napoli, both teams have won once and a draw completes the record.

No Italian side has ever won at El Madrigal in European competition (one draw and four defeats, excluding qualifiers).

Sorry but no, Napoli need to win , if they done and city do they are gone .

napoli will win

Srooney03 · 07-12-2011 4:58pm

Did you see how easy City won in Spain?

This is a very poor Villareal team and history is not gonna help them.

If the reports are right and the probable team is anything to go by i can see City romping home on a glimmer of hope that Villareal will do them a favour against Napoli!

Doxa Dramas V OFI Crete,

Crete all the way.

NaiveMelodies · 07-12-2011 5:47pm

I think 15/8 City United double is very good.

United won't leave anything to chance and should hammer into Basle. Rooney up front aswell, a good bet for FGS.

City have been formidable recently, and should be playing a weakend bayern team. I could see them winning 3-1.

Headshot · 07-12-2011 5:50pm

surprised by the odds on overs 2.5 goals

Ajax - Over 5.5 corners @ 2.00

That is the bet of the night..I'm going for a large stake on this.
Real are playing a B team, Higuain and Benzema only regulars starting.

Ajax need a point to qualify. They havce got 10 corners in both home games in CL and managed 6 away in bernabeu

Also really like City to win as Bayern squad rumoured to be riddled with the flu

inforfun · 07-12-2011 6:37pm

Wasnt going to do a thing but found a loyalty bonus from bet365.

1 Over 3.5 Benfica v Otelul Galati
(Number of Cards in Match) 07/12/2011 None 2.20 To Run
2 Lille Lille v Trabzonspor
(Full Time Result) 07/12/2011 None 1.40 To Run
3 Man City -1.0 Man City v Bayern Munich
(Alternative Asian Handicap) 07/12/2011 None 2.075 To Run

Think (hope?) City will win rather comfortably but still go out as the Spanish will do Napoli a favour.

Smithwicks Man · 07-12-2011 7:08pm

Napoli -2 corner bet @ 10/11 .. good shout? I can see them going all out for the win even if they go 1 up as they'll need to make sure and villarreal have nothing to play for...

Regardless, gonna go for Rooney insurebet 1st scorer @ 14/5

And a 30/1 double of City/Munich 45+ Points and 12+Corners , and Basle/United 55+ Points and 11+ corners , just for a laugh!

clearodara · 07-12-2011 7:10pm

Hoping this comes in, pays 150 for 20 quid bet:

Benfica @ 1/7

Lyon @ 4/11 Draw No Bet

Napoli @ 4/5

still 80/1 for a gomez hat-trick if gomez he starts .

i think if your bayern you will want to beat the best of the best in europe, city this year so far is the best , why would you not play your best players to say that we beat the best in europe.

magherakid · 07-12-2011 7:40pm

Man Utd Team: De Gea, Smalling, Vidic, Ferdinand, Evra, Park, Jones, Giggs, Nani, Rooney, Young

How are city the best when they're not even going to make it past the group stages? I'm sure the bayern manager doesn't think his side have anything to prove in such a meaningless game after they cruised through the group.. The players won't give it their all either.. City victory me thinks.

Yardie · 07-12-2011 7:50pm

Phil Jones starts as holding midfielder tonight. I' m not sure he has composure for that spot in such an important game.

Last time he played there against Liverpool he was out of his depth and was very fortunate to avoid a booking.

Shaqiri could cause him some probs too.

PP have quoted me 3/1 to be booked. 33/1 for the red.

Small nibble.

Jax Teller · 07-12-2011 7:50pm

Have to back city with that Bayern line up

Bayern XI vs. Man City: Butt - Rafinha, Boateng, Badstuber, Contento - Tymoshchuk, Gustavo - Alaba, Olic, Pranjic - Petersen

Man City team (vs Bayern Munich): Hart, Savic, Kompany, Lescott, Clichy, Yaya, Barry, Nasri, Aguero, Silva, Dzeko

Blatter · 07-12-2011 7:51pm

Real Madrid XI vs Ajax: Adán, Arbeloa, Albiol, Varane, Coentrao, Sahin, Granero, Callejón, Kaká, Benzema, Higuaín

They are a great price at above evens to beat Ajax.

A lot will want to prove themselves ahead of the Clasico as well.

especially after hearing the Bayern line up. although the weather in Manchester is dreadfull,its pissing down.

awhir · 07-12-2011 7:59pm

also went for man u & man city -1 asian @ just over 3/1

colly_06 · 07-12-2011 8:00pm

Savic could be City's weak point. Not going to touch them tonight. Just Naples and United for me.

NaiveMelodies · 07-12-2011 8:00pm

City at 4/6 is an awesome price with the 2 lineups in mind.

paulb06 · 07-12-2011 8:00pm

Bet 365 gave me a €15 free bet so have put it on Yardies and 1 of Headshots selections, Ajax over 5.5 corners, Utd and City over 2.5. Here's hoping..

Nodin_ · 07-12-2011 8:03pm

So Paddypower has removed the enhanced treble for Man Utd, Man City and Lyon wins. Hmmm...Paddy must be bricking it now that the weakened Bayern team has been announced

wp_rathead · 07-12-2011 8:07pm

Man City v Bayern Munich

Most Goals in 2nd half @ evens

57.1% of CL goals came in 2nd half for City
(80% of PL goals came in 2nd half for City)

Munich seem to concede most of their goals in 2nd half, Villereral got 1 and Napoli got 2 in second half. Don't have the stats for goals conceded in Bundesliga, but this is looking a good bet.

That is quite a weak BM team, apart from Olic and Pranjic they don't offer much

markc91 · 07-12-2011 8:16pm

what do yas reckon with united to wil to nil @15/8 might be a bit biased being a united fan but only conceded in 1 of our last 9 CL away games and probably our strongest back 4 with Jones in front???

i think your asking for a lot there,in asking UTD to win,and win by holding the other team scoreless away from home........ @ odds of 15/8, up to you mate,but i wouldnt touch that bet, but if you fancy it,go for it.

Football Friend · 07-12-2011 8:23pm

Went for a rather audacious accumulator and having seen the Bayern lineup Im already fearful! But in saying that I think City have been pretty poor in Europe so far this season and were given a footballing lesson in Munich earlier in the season so fingers crossed!

Benfica @ -1
Lyon to win
Sow anytime scorer
Inter draw no bet
Napoli to win
Over 2.5 goals in United game
Both teams to score Madrid game
Munich to win

Like I said ambitious to say the least!

Odds were around 300-1 I think..or a little under that.

Jax Teller · 07-12-2011 8:23pm
