Champions League Results: 3-2 in Florence matched at 95 as Gunners also open fire

Arsenal put five past FC Porto as Fiorentina crash out on away goals in Florence…. “The Italians were matched at 3.5 to win the match and that was ultimately a winning bet, as was the 3.7 Bayern were matched at to qualify. The big winning punters were those who predicted the 3-2 scoreline though, that was matched at the most attractive odds of 95.0.” Arsenal sent a chilling message to the remaining Champions League contenders that they mean business after dumping FC Porto out of the competition by winning the second leg 5-0. A hat-trick from Nicklas Bendtner did most of the damage in a game where they were matched at a high of 1.7 on Betfair to win.

Champions League Betting: Fiorentina v Bayern Munich

Tobias Gourlay saw enough in Bavaria a fortnight ago to think there might be a Florentine renaissance on Tuesday evening.

Recommended Bets: Back Over 2.5 Goals at 1.95; back Fiorentina at 3.55 To Qualify

Ahead of the first leg of Fiorentina’s Last 16 tie with Bayern Munich, the Italians were in no sort of form. In the end they got no sort of result, but that’s not to tell the full story. With just over a quarter of an hour left, Massimo Gobbi was sent off, when he might easily not have been. It was 1-1 at that point, but if anyone deserved to be ahead it was the visitors. With a minute left, Bayern’s Miroslav Klose scored from an offside position. The goal was allowed to stand and the Germans had a 2-1 win to take to the Artemio Franchi this week.

Just a fortnight after he played ‘the biggest game for us in five years,’ La Viola’s captain, Riccardo Montolivo, is preparing for ‘truly the game of our lives.’

Bundesliga Betting: Visit of Leverkusen to spell yet more trouble for Bayern

Kevin Hatchard tells us how Louis Van Gaal seems to have lost the Bayern Munich dressing room just months into his reign and where our money should be on this weekend’s Bundesliga matches. “Such open dissent spells real trouble for van Gaal. He has a history of failing to control players with big egos, and only seems to get the best out of teams when he has a captive audience.” Bayern Munich 1.92 vs Bayer Leverkusen 4.5 , the draw 3.75 If the pressure wasn’t on Bayern boss Louis van Gaal before, it certainly is now after general manager Uli Hoeness described Sunday’s clash with leaders Bayer Leverkusen as “the game of the season.” Bayern are eighth after winning just five of their 12 Bundesliga matches, and they have failed to convince in recent draws against Stuttgart and Schalke.
