Re: Champions League: 19th & 20th February

I tell you something...Liverpool/Celtic double pays 13/1 roughly. Thats a pretty damn good double if you ask me.

Celtic v Barcelona

Barcelona should go through but when did Celtic become a bad side at home in Europe and when did Barcelona turn around their stuttering season and become a top top side again?

Celtic have probably the best home record in the Champions League to be honest. Top sides like Man Utd, Milan, Bayern have come to Celtic Park in better form than Barcelona are now and still haven't come away with anything.

Celtic are usually around the 3.00 mark at home tops in Europe so if anyone can tell me why they are nearly 5.00 i would love to hear why.

The transfer window has done wonders for Celtic. Prior to that there were too many players who were far too comfortable in their positions as they had no competition such as Venegoor, Brown, Donati for example but since the transfer window and Celtic strengthening these players have stepped up a gear and we now find Celtic playing some great stuff just now.

Defensively they are slowly improving but its on the attacking front where they have so mnay options. You also have that top class option too from McGeady and Nakamura and Celtic come into this tie in confident mood.

Barcelona not the Barcelona we have come to known of the last few seasons. The quality is definately there but they aren't gelling aswell as expected.

Etoo, Puyol back from injuries but it will be interesting to see how they fare. I would love to see Bojan and Giovanni start as i feel they are too lightweight and would make the task that little bit easier but we will have to wait and see.

Barcelona been far from consistent and they won't relish this game too much. I think they would really be happy with a draw to be honest and won't press as much as they will be pretty confident for the game at home.

1.91 is waaaaaay too short for the away so a lay of them is the safer option as it covers the draw but i will be on the 4.90 for Celtic. Silly silly price when you take everything into account.

Milan and Chelsea are also interesting prices.
