Match Betting (1x2)

Chelsea have drawn Bayern Munich in the Champions League last sixteen and that conjures memories of that famous European Cup final in 2012 when the Blues won the trophy at the Allianz Arena after coming from behind and eventually winning on penalties.

Another minor miracle might be needed to overcome the German champions this time around, although a first leg victory on Tuesday 25 February would certainly give them a fighting chance and you can back the London side at 11/4 with Unibet to claim the spoils.

Frank Lampard will send his team out in an attacking mode, although they have been regularly picked off by lower-ranked Premier League teams this season and will face a Bayern side who have already enjoyed an emphatic victory in London this term.

Munchen claimed an unreal 7-2 victory at White Hart Lane a few months ago and that explains why they are trading at 21/20 with Unibet to get a first leg victory that will set them up for progress to the last eight of the competition.

As for the draw, that is available at around 14/5 and would mean the tie is still up for grabs, with Bayern likely to be happy with the match ending all square providing that they got at least one goal.

To Qualify

The bookies do not want to take on Bayern Munich despite the fact that they’ve not had things their own way domestically this season. At the time of writing, Hans-Dieter Flick’s side sit third in the table and the team parted company with previous manager Niko Kovac after some poor results.

The biggest price you can get about the Bavarian side going through to the last eight stage is 2/7 with Ladbrokes, although they might not feel comfortable having the favourites tag against a team who were a box of tricks during the group stage.

It was no mean feat to finish above Ajax in the table for the English Premier League team and they can be backed at 31/10 with Paddy Power to pull off an upset and qualify for the quarter final stage themselves.

Asian Handicap

If you want to get with Chelsea in an alternative way to the Full Time Result market, then perhaps you might fancy backing the Blues at 8/9 on the Asian Handicap with half a goal advantage.

It means that Lampard’s side would only need to avoid defeat in order for the bet to win, although some might feel as though Bayern Munich can enjoy another big win in the English capital.

You can back the visitors at 43/20 with a -1 goal handicap and that would mean money back if they won the game but a profit if they were able to triumph by two goals or more.

Both Teams to Score

Chelsea know that they have to go out in search of goals against this team and Spurs did find the net twice against them in that 7-2 clash, with Tottenham actually the better team in the first half.

The “Yes” option on this market is a 4/7 poke with William Hill, although perhaps Lampard will play things in a cagier fashion and BetVictor have 17/10 that at least one team ends with nil.
