CHAMPIONS LEAGUE - Tuesday, April 4

[MarkieMark+]

Any opinions regarding Tuesday's Champions League matches?

My plays will be:

AC MILAN (-0.5) -135 over Lyon (Olympic)
I expect AC Milan to crank it up at home, much the same way they did against Bayern Munich in the last round. The 1st Leg ended 0-0 in France but Milan were the better team with more chances and Shevchenko will not be as unlucky at home. Juninho is back in the line-up for Lyon but Tiago is out.

Villarreal vs. Inter Milan; OVER 2, -120 (Olympic)
Villarreal need to win this 2nd Leg match at home in order to progress after losing 2-1 in Milano. The Away Goal for Villarreal means that a 1-0 win for the Spanish side will see Inter eliminated so the Italian club cannot afford to sit back and play for a 0-0 result.

funny... i ll lloked at the soccer forum to see if somebody already started a thread on today s games and decided to do it myself. just to find out we posted at the same time. As you can see we have exactly the same opionion on the games, which makes especially the over much stronger for me.

 

[MarkieMark+]

Yes, I see that. Good luck, chriscol.

I jumped on your play from Germany too.

Mark,

I'm agree with your Milan pick - got them at -122 @ Mansion (Who still have -130 btw)

Forza Milan!

"The Away Goal for Villarreal means that a 1-0 win for the Spanish side will see Inter eliminated so the Italian club cannot afford to sit back and play for a 0-0 result."

Mark, they CAN afford a 0-0 result, no reason to not be extra cautious and start attacking letting themselves open for the 1-0 against them. It's not as if they had to attack from point one in the game.

As for Milan, as much as I like them, at 1.8 it is low at this level and going against a team that is among the few favourites to win the champions league, have tremendous talent and have been crusing in the french league.

Not go against the grain just for the sake of it but I watch a lot of Ligue 1 and I really like Lyon today. I took them at + .5 + 118 but a straight up win at + 350 is worth a small side bet. If they get by Milan today, and I think they will, it wouldnt surprise me one bit if they went to win the CL, as I've mentioned on here before.

GL all

Wow, Lyon levels it @1-1 as they just ATE UP a free-kick!

 

[JackDee]

lyon are dominating this one, that of course doesn't mean they are going to get what they want, because milan's type of play is letting the others some space and action, unfortunately for them both caca and inzaghi, and pirlo too, don't seem in any good form today. Let's see.

AC MILAN 3-1 FT
Late heroics from Inzaghi. Milan fans must have been SWEATING that one out!

VILLAREAL 1-0 FT
The AWAY goal is a dagger to the heart of INTER. What a shitty season for them.

I think tomorrow it is BARCELONA and ARSENAL TO ADVANCE
