WE could be set for another all-Spanish Champions League Final (7-5, William Hill) with Real Madrid and Barcelona favourites to negotiate tricky last-four ties.
First up tonight Real visit newly-crowned Italian champions Juventus and tomorrow Pep Guardiola faces his former side as Barcelona tackle Bayern Munich in what should be a cracker.
Real are a best 4-9 at Betfred to qualify and 13-8 at McBookie to win in Turin on Tuesday.
Juve are 2-1 with McBookie to reach the Final and 21-10 at Ladbrokes to carve out a first-leg lead.
The Italians' hopes are hampered by the loss of midfielder Paul Pogba and the best they'll get in my opinion is a draw. Real can be backed draw no bet at 4-5 with Coral.
Juventus are playing their first semi-final for more than a decade but they have lost just one of their last 54 homes games this is the toughest test they've faced.
Top-level experience counts for a lot and Real have it in buckets. Cristiano Ronaldo netted in his last two outings against Juve and bagged a hat-trick against Almeria at the weekend. He is 9-2 at Ladbrokes to score first and a tempting 17-10 with 888sport to net at any time.
Real are without Karim Benzema and Luka Modric but Gareth Bale is fit to start.
Carlos Tevez has bagged five goals in his last five home games and is 23-10 at 888sport to score.
Juve's strength is in defence and remember both sides won their quarter-final ties 1-0 on aggregate to consider under 2.5 goals at 4-7 with bet365.

Under 1.5 match goals
I quite fancy a 2-2 draw in this tie.
Rarely you will see a price on Ronaldo Anytime at odds against for tomorrow. He’s accounted for half of Madrids away goals in the competition too with 4, only failing to score in the Madrid derby with a masterclass from Jan Oblak in goal. Scored in his last two appearances against Juventus (3 altogether). Coming off a hat-trick at the weekend. Juventus don’t concede too often at home, but that’s in Serie A. Dortmund and Olympiakos have scored in Turin this season, and Fiorentina were unlucky not to get three last week with a missed penalty. Juve have kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6, with Madrid keeping the opposition at bay in 7 of their last 8, but the last 3 h2h’s have seen over 2.5 goals.
Ronaldo Anytime best available @ 17/10 @ 888, but I’ll be taking 8/5 @ BV as I don’t have an account with 888. (Posted this afternoon but now avilable @ 8/5 at best).
Nae too sure, seen last couple RM games and he was not so greedy and setting up Hernadez and other guy. Must be something wrong with him or style or Hernadez role.
Imo, good luck hope he scores – you money more important than my opinion.
Great minds Mr F ;)
365 are doing the £50 offer for both games this week. I assume those that know their marbles will have their theories
In 7 attempts away to juventus real have only won once and drawn once and lost the rest…
Juventus strength is their defence and speedy man tevez up front who is in fine form this season…. Can’t back Real Madrid on past performances against juve…. Especially wen juve are 2-1 at home… Think they could finish the match off if they can keep real from scoring and play the ball up to the little man tevez…. Gd luck all
Bets
Juve win 2/1
Juve win and btts 11/2
where are people going with their £50 in play bets for tomorrows game? tempted to go for BTTS or something, but may just go for the 0.5 goals before the game, cover it and then draw in game
Ingrm; If you are going for over 0.5 match goals for your pre-bet, and a draw in-play, you don’t need to cover your pre-match bet, because the only alternative outcome is 0-0, which your in-play draw will cover.
Was thinking ronaldo anytime for my bet also
Oh yeah lol, must’ve mixed up the two bets Alan
Pre match £50 double chance on a home or away win 7/20
Returns £67.50
Inplay £50 on the draw 9/4 returns £162.50
Profit will be minimum of £17.50 or £62.50 either way it’s guaranteed.
can someone explain what the £50 thing is please?
Both semis BTTS 5/6 tonight 8/11 tomorrow’s match
Gona have £50 ew on Ronaldo 9/2 with bet365 1/3 of the odds if scores anytime can’t b bad
On real Madrid to win, seen Juve lately and forms bot as good.
real Madrid to win
Anyone taking any punts with their risk free bet?
Like Ronaldo to score 2
I’m backing up three things: BTTS, Cristiano to score 2 and Real Madrid wins while both teams scoring.
Also, I’m playin with a bet from Copa Libertadores on Tigres to win by more than 1 goal.
