Champions League Final: All The Odds

Champions League Final: All The OddsBookmakers unable to separate Barca and Man U in betting.

By Nadav S | May 23, 2009

Next week's UEFA Champions League final between Barcelona and Manchester United is shaping up as the best in years, with most bookmakers unable to separate the two in betting.

For that reason, it's worth shopping around on each item. UK bookie William Hill is quoting odds of 8/5 on both teams for a win after 90 minutes of regular time, a more generous offer than VC Bet's quote of 6/4 on both teams. The flipside of this is that VC Bet is more generous for those wishing to place money on a draw, offering odds of 11/5 compared to William Hill's 9/5.

Of course, the odds are constantly changing - Barcelona has firmed to 2.37 favoritism at Ladbrokes, ahead of Manchester United at 2.60.

With such a major focus on the match, the bookmakers are offering a wide array of options covering everything from goal scorers to half-time scores.

Ladbrokes is offering some of the more interesting options, including betting on how the first goal will be scored: no goal is the leading option, at odds of 1.01, followed by the most common method of right leg, at 1.60. Left leg and header or any other body part are well behind at 4.50.

William Hill is focusing more on half time scores and first and second half betting, although once again the two teams are inseparable. Both are 11/4 to score in each half, both are 2/1 to keep a clean sheet.

With a week still to go until European football's biggest match of the year, all the bookmakers will no doubt be introducing more options as the game draws closer.
