Wednesday Champions League Odds and Preview
12th December, 2007
Wednesday’s Champions League Football
Roma v Man Utd – Live on Sky One, k/0 7:45pm
After the events of last season at the Stadio Olimpico, where violence marred a good game of football, you can be sure that United will want to get their travelling fans something to cheer about this time round. With both sides having already qualified for the knockout stage, pride is the only thing at stake in this match. However, Man Utd have managed to win their previous 5 Champions League games, and if they win on Wednesday night, they will become only the 4th team ever to have won all their games in the group stage of the competition. Roma have been priced as favourites to end United’s European winning streak, with VC Bet offering 9/10 on a home win, while United have been offered at 5/2 to finish the group undefeated.
Arsenal v Steaua – Live on Sky Sports 2, k/0 7:45pm
Premiership leaders Arsenal go into this game knowing that a victory at the Emirates and a draw between S. Prague and Sevilla will see them qualify from Group H in top spot. Arsenal beat Steaua in their first game in Bucharest, a Robin Van Persie goal helped them on their way, and with Arsenal so dominant at home in all competitions, expect the Gunners to go for the jugular and Steaua to batten down the hatches. As you would expect, Arsenal have been priced as favourites, with bookies offering 1/4 on a win for the Gunners, while Steaua have been given very long odds of 10/1 to get an unlikely result.
