Man City odds-on to qualify from group
MANCHESTER CITY’S comeback win against Bayern Munich kept their Champions League qualification hopes alive, and they are 10-11 with bet365 to reach the knockout stage and 4-5 with Boylesports to fall short.
Manuel Pellegrini’s men need to win at Roma on matchday six and also need Bayern to beat CSKA Moscow, who hold a head-to-head advantage over City.
Chelsea made sure they will finish top of Group G with a 5-0 victory over Schalke. They were a best-priced 6-1 to lift the trophy before last night’s matches and are 80-1 for a clean sweep of trophies – Premier League, FA Cup, Capital One Cup and Champions League.
Zenit St Petersburg kept their hopes alive for a place in the Champions League knockout stages after Danny’s goal gave them a 1-0 win against Benfica in Group C.
The result ended Benfica’s hopes as they lie three points adrift of the Russian outfit who have beaten them home and away.
