CHAMPIONS LEAGUE ........


Porto-Chelsea // Barcelona-Liverpool


I have four bets to put online for this evenings action, but only have time to put basic comments. Therefore, I shall keep the stakes small.


"The Chosen One" returns to his former club and will probably settle for a draw and take the Portugese champions, back to Stamford Bridge, all square.


Porto have impressed me greatly this season, almost as much as any team I have watched. They are not out of this tie by any means and could spring a surprise. Think this is the most interesting match of the night and will become more so, if Porto stick to their plan, to play a 4-3-3 system.


Barca and Pool have created more headlines off the pitch this week. The difference is that the English side seem to have put their in-fighting behind them, the Spanish giants have reacted by dropping Samuel Eto'o.


Even Ronaldinho seems to have lost his smile, rumours are that he too, is out of love with Barcelona and is on his way in the summer, probably to Milan.


So, all is not rosy, they created little in the loss at Valencia, at least until, Lionel Messi joined the action and lack a spark.


Liverpool are well suited to playing away in Europe and should be capable of containing a lack lustre Barcelona.


3 points Porto +1/2 ball 1.75 asian line.

3 points Liverpool +3/4 ball 1.90 asian line.


Good Luck.
