Coral’s Champions League best bets for final group games

It should be a case of fill your boots for Cristiano Ronaldo and co, who are even-money chances to score over 3.5 goals.

Olympiakos v Arsenal – Olympiakos win or draw

The Gunners have thrown themselves into an awkward position where they need to win in Greece in order to have any chance of making the last 16. If you had said to Arsenal fans that they would have beaten Bayern Munich and failed to qualify they would have laughed at you, but that is a real possibility.

Arsene Wenger’s men don’t exactly have the greatest of records on visits to the Karaiskakis Stadium, losing on all three trips in the Champions League.

They might not lose this but they will struggle to grab the three points. Olympiakos are 4/5 to win or draw.

Valencia v Lyon – Valencia win to nil

Gary Neville’s appointment at Valencia shocked many and now it is time for the former pundit to take charge of his first game. The Spaniards must win to have any chance of qualifying and they should do that comfortably against a weak Lyon side.

French club Lyon are already eliminated with a single point in Group G, while they have scored just three goals in the process.

Valencia will be buoyed after their draw with Barca and the new boss effect will carry them through. Back them at 11/8 to win to nil.

Bayer Leverkusen v Barcelona – match total over 3.5 goals

These have been two very entertaining teams in this year’s competition, with a combined 26 goals in their matches so far.

Expect more fun here. Barcelona’s front three are unstoppable when on form, which is seemingly all the time, and Leverkusen’s Javier Hernandez has 11 strikes in his previous 10 outings.

A match total of over 3.5 goals is an enticing 27/20 price.
