Tonight's bets

Here are your Recommended Bets for tonight's games. Starting with the
live Sky Sports 2 game at Anfield…

Liverpool v Marseille

Wed 26th Nov, 7.45pm 
Live on Sky Sports 2
Ref: Olegário Benquerença

Form

Liverpool are 2nd in Group D by goal difference – they are level with
Atletico Madrid on 8 points. A draw tonight would put Liverpool through
to the Knockout Stages – but a win would keep them in the fight to top of
the group.

Marseille are 3rd with 3 pts, and to have any hope of qualifying they
need to beat both Liverpool and Atletico in their two remaining games.

Corners

We had a winning ‘Corner Handicap’ bet on Liverpool’s last home game (v
Atletico Madrid on 4th Nov) – and the stats are pointing to the same
market tonight…

Liverpool were a strong corner winner at home last season. In 100%
of their Champions League games at Anfield, they won the most corners.
They averaged 4 corners more than their opponents per game, with
averages of 6.8 Corners For and 2.8 Corners Against.

Also, it's worth noting that in the Premier League last season Liverpool
won the most corners in 89% of their home games. They have won the most
corners in 6 of their 7 home league games so far this season too (85%).

In their 2 home Champions League games in 2008/9, Liverpool have ‘out-
cornered’ PSV Eindhoven 3-1 and Atletico 11-2. Giving them home corner
averages of 7.0 For and 1.5 Against.

Marseille have failed to win the most corners in either of their 2 away
games so far – their away corners averages are 5.5 For and 6.0 Against.

Liverpool and Marseille also met in the Group Stage last season.
Liverpool won the corner count 7-4 in the game at Anfield. Marseille were
‘out-cornered’ by 3 or more corners in 2 out of 3 away games in 2007/8.

Also – a ‘saver bet’:

• Staking around 1/6th of your main stake on the ‘Corner Handicap
  Tie’ @ 6/1+ (7.00+) will leave you ‘level’ overall if Liverpool win
  exactly 3 corners more than Marseille

For example – with Betfred…

£10 on Liverpool ‘-3 Corner Handicap’ @ 6/5 with Betfred 
= £22 return if the bet wins.

£1.67 on the ‘Corner Handicap Tie’ @ 6/1 
= £11.69 return if Liverpool win exactly 3 corners more than Marseille

Atletico Madrid v PSV Eindhoven

Wed 26th Nov, 7.45pm 
Live on Sky Sports Interactive
Ref: Massimo Busacca

Form

This is a similar situation to the other Group D game between Liverpool
and Marseille (see above) – Atletico are top with 8 pts and PSV are
bottom with 3 pts.

Corners

Atletico have won the most corners in both their home games so far. Their
averages are 5.5 Corners For and 4.0 Corners Against.

PSV Eindhoven have conceded at least 2 corners more than they’ve won in
both their away games. Giving them away corner averages of 1.5 For and
4.0 Against.

Last season PSV were ‘out-cornered’ in 2 out of 3 away Champions League
games, and their away corner averages were 2.3 For and 3.3 Against.
(Atletico weren’t in the Champions League last season.)

In fact, PSV have only won more than 2 corners in an away game once in
the last 2 Champions League seasons.

PSV’s poor ‘corner-winning’ stats also point to a bet on a low number of
‘Total Corners’ in tonight’s game…

3 out of 3 PSV away games went ‘Under 10.5 Corners’ last season, and 2
out of 2 away games have gone the same way this season (totals of 7
corners and 4 corners).

Atletico have a 50/50 record for ‘Under 10.5 Corners’ games at home this
season (the game that went ‘Over’ only had 11 corners).

The ‘Corner Handicap’ bet for tonight’s Atletico v PSV game is available
with Bet365 and the ‘Total Corners’ bet is available with several
bookies.

And…

Our fourth Recommended Bet today is for a team ‘To Qualify from their
Group’… 
 
Group B – ‘To Qualify’

With only one round of Group fixtures to go after this week’s games, most
group tables are looking pretty clear cut. But Group B is still wide
open, meaning decent odds are still available in the ‘To Qualify’ market
(the top 2 teams qualify for the Knockout Stages).

Here is the current Group B table ahead of tonight’s games…

Position and Team     Goal Difference   Points
1. Inter Milan                +3                 8
2. Anorthosis Famagusta +1                5
3. Panathinaikos           -1                  4
4. Werder Bremen         -3                  3

Remaining fixtures…

Tonight:
 
Inter Milan v Panathinaikos
Anorthosis v Werder Bremen

Next month:
 
Panathinaikos v Anorthosis
Werder Bremen v Inter Milan

The ‘surprise package’ in the Champions League this season has been the
team from Cyprus, Anorthosis Famagusta. They are currently in 2nd place
in Group B, and look to have the ‘best’ run-in in their remaining games -
at home to Werder Bremen tonight and away to Panathinaikos in December.

If Inter and Anorthosis were to both win tonight, they would both
Qualify. Any other outcome means the battle will go down to the final
round of games. With this in mind, today is a good time to back
Anorthosis ‘To Qualify’ – they are available at 15/8 (2.88).

Here's a summary of our recommended bets for tonight's games.
