Hitmen have their eyes on the Golden Boot
NO team in the Champions League era has ever successfully retained the trophy with Real Madrid the latest team to try to end the hoodoo of the holders.
The ten-time European champions are 9-4 to win a tight market headed by Barcelona, and the Golden Boot market is equally close between El Clasico superstars Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
Ronaldo and Messi are both available at 11-8 with the dynamic duo locked together on eight goals, one behind Shakhtar striker Luis Adriano. Six-goal Luis Suarez is another potential candidate and the former Liverpool man is 33-1.
Adriano is already out of the competition, and Ronaldo will be looking to improve his tally against Juventus on Tuesday before Messi and Suarez get to work against Bayern Munich on Wednesday.
BoyleSports have shoved injury-hit Bayern out to 19-4 to win at Camp Nou, although the German giants received a huge boost with the news striker Robert Lewandowski is set to play through the pain barrier.
Spanish media have suggested Bayern boss Pep Guardiola is going to line-up in a 5-3-2 formation in a bid to limit the damage that could potentially be caused by Barca’s devastating forward line of Neymar, Suarez and Messi.
Bet365 are running a free in-play bet offer on both of this week’s Champions League semi-final first legs.
To qualify punters must place a pre-game bet which will be matched on any in-play market risk free up to a maximum of £50.
