The Champions League is back, with the first legs of the Quarter
Finals starting tonight!

Two matches are being played this evening. Roma take on Manchester
United and Schalke face Barcelona.

We've used our unique Head-2-Head feature to provide a summary of
the best betting opportunities from tonight's games...

ROMA v MANCHESTER UNITED

Kick off 7.45pm
Live on ITV 1

These two sides have already played each other twice in this year's
competition. The first meeting was at Old Trafford where a single
Wayne Rooney goal gave United the victory. The next time the sides
met in Rome, with both teams already qualified for the first
knockout stages. United took the lead through Gerard Pique but the
home side equalised thanks to Brazilian Mancini - the match ended
1-1.

Now for a look at tonight's encounter...

Corners: Both these sides have the ability to win Corners. Roma
average 6.75 Corners For per home game. Man Utd average 7.5 Corners
For per away game. So the stats indicate a high Corner count in
tonight's match.

The Stats say:

• Over 10 Corners (with a saver on Exactly 10) @ 20/21 Victor
  Chandler or Over 9.5 Corners @ 7/10 Partybets

Corners: With already discussed both teams' abilities to win
Corners, but if we look at how many Corners on average each team
concedes another betting opportunity arises. Roma concede on
average 7.0 Corners per home game. United concede on average 4.75
Corners per away game. With United being the stronger side when it
comes to restricting the amount of Corners they give away, a bet on
Man Utd on the Corner Handicap appeals.

The Stats say:

• Man Utd +1 on the Corners Handicap @ 10/11 Bet365, Betfred
  and Paddy Power

Bookings: Roma are averaging 20.0 Bookings points For at home so
far in this campaign. Compare that with Man United's away average
of 7.5 Bookings points For and these stats are indicating that Roma
will receive the Most Bookings this evening.

The Stats say:

• Roma to get the Most Bookings @ 8/5 Ladbrokes, 6/4 William
  Hill and 13/10 Blue Square

Scorers: Cristiano Ronaldo is joint top scorer in this year's
competition with Barcelona's Lionel Messi both of whom have hit 6
Goals. 3 of Ronaldo's goals have come away from home. He's 11/5
with Coral to score at Anytime in tonight's match.

Roma will be without their inspirational leader Francesco Totti
through injury. Mirko Vucinic has the job of replacing Totti in
tonight's game. Vucinic is Roma's top scorer in this year's
competition with 4 goals. He's available at 3/1 with Coral to score
at Anytime tonight. 

SCHALKE V BARCELONA

Kick off 7.45pm
Live on ITV 4

Barcelona are 1/4 favourites to advance into the Semi Finals and
are currently 3rd favourites to win this year's competition behind
Manchester United and Chelsea. You can get Schalke at 3/1 to
qualify from this tie and they're currently ranked at 50/1
outsiders to win the competition.

Tonight's action...

Corners: Both these teams boast very low Corners conceded ratings.
Schalke only concede 1.5 Corners per home game, Barcelona concede
2.5. With both these teams' Corner restricting qualities, an Under
the Corners bet appeals this evening.

The Stats say:

• Under 10 Corners (with a saver on Exactly 10) @ Evens Stan
  James

Bookings: These 2 teams match up perfectly when it comes to an Over
35 Bookings Points bet. Schalke at home average 2 Cards/20 Bookings
Points per match. Barcelona's average of receiving 2 Cards/20
Bookings Points per away match mean the stats are indicating a Card
count around the 4 Cards/40 Bookings Points mark. The Bookies are
also expecting a high Card count tonight judging by the markets
they're offering.

The Stats say:

• Over 4 Cards @ 19/20 Bet365 or between 21-46 Bookings Points
  @ 7/4 Stan James
