There are 2 more Quarter Final games being played tonight.

Let's get straight into the action with the all Premier League tie
at Anfield...

Liverpool v Chelsea

Live on Sky Sports 2, 7.45 kick off
Ref: Claus Bo Larsen

Liverpool and Chelsea have met each other 8 times in the Champions
League in the last 5 seasons.

Here are the strongest trends from those matches...

·         8 out of 8 games have gone Under 2.5 Goals

·         6 out of 8 games have gone Under 10.5 Corners

·         6 out of 8 games have gone Under 35 Booking Points

·         Liverpool have received the First Card in 6 out of the 8
matches

Goals

As we can see all 8 games between these two have gone Under 2.5
Goals. Last season's game at Anfield ended 1-1.

• Plus, in domestic competition 7 out of their last 8 meetings
  have gone Under 2.5 Goals - including the two Premier League games
  this season.

Under 2.5 Goals is odds-on at around 1/2 tonight, but you couldn't
hope to find a 'stats bet' with more form behind it.

Corners

Liverpool have won the Most Corners in all 4 of their home
Champions League games this season. The bookies are giving
Liverpool a '-1 Corner Handicap' in tonight's game - that would
have paid out on all 4 occasions so far this season.

Last season Liverpool won the Most Corners in 100% of their home
games. Backing them with a '-1 Corner Handicap' would have paid out
66.6% of the time.

In this season's Premier League meeting Liverpool won 12 Corners
compared to Chelsea's 1.

• This season Chelsea have only won the Most Corners in 50% of
  their away Champions League games.

Booking Points

Even though these two opponents are fierce rivals, only 2 games out
of 8 in the Champions League have gone Over 35 Booking Points or
Over 3.5 Cards.

The bookies have set their marker at 45 Booking Points or 4.5 Cards
tonight. Going Under the bookies' marker would have paid out in 6
out of 8 meetings.

Tonight's second game is a clash between two European giants...

Barcelona v Bayern Munich

Live on Sky Sports 3, 7.45 kick off
Ref: Howard Webb

Goals

Both teams match-up well in the First Goal department...

·         In 3 out of Barcelona's 4 home games this season the First
Goal has come Before 27th Minute

·         In 3 out of Bayern Munich's 4 away games the First Goal has
come Before 27th Minute

The average First Goal time in Barcelona home games is 25 minutes.
And the average First Goal time in Bayern Munich away games is 20
minutes.

Corners

There is also an opportunity in the 'Total Corners' market here...

Barcelona home corners:
6.75 For / 1.75 Against
Average Total = 8.50 per game

Bayern Munich away corners:
4.75 For / 5.75 Against
Average Total = 10.5 per game

100% of Barcelona's home games have gone Under 10.5 Corners this
season. 50% of Bayern Munich's away games have gone Under 10.5
Corners. With Barcelona expected to have a lot of the ball - their
home possession average in this season's competition is 65.33% -
another 'low' corner total could be on the cards.

Another 100% Barcelona trend that is worth mentioning is their
ability to out-corner opponents...

• Barcelona have won the Most Corners in all 4 of their home
  games this season

The bookies have given Barcelona a big '-3 Corner Handicap' to
overcome. However backing Barcelona with a -3 Corner Handicap this
season would have paid out in all 4 of their home games so far.

Booking Points

Barcelona are averaging just under 1 Yellow Card (10 Booking
Points) per home match this season. It's their opponents that have
been receiving the majority of the Yellow Cards/ Booking Points in
matches.

However, opponents Bayern Munich currently average just under 2
Yellow Cards (20 Booking Points) per away game. And 3 of their 4
games have gone 'Under 35 Booking Points'.

Just like in the Liverpool v Chelsea match the bookies' marker is
set at 45 Booking Points or 4.5 Cards.

Both these teams match up well for an 'Under' bet in tonight's
game.
