Barcelona Vs Liverpool: How to bet and why

It will be the clash of the Titans on Wednesday when English Premier League side Liverpool will visit the Camp Nou to play against Spanish La Liga outfit Barcelona in the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Both teams have won it five times and history is set to be made as they both seek to win it for the sixth term but they stand in each other’s way.

This makes it a great game which needs a guide when making a bet.

Latest odds

The Spanish side have already been crowned champions of the La Liga this season after a 1-0 home win over Levante and bet365 offer another triumph for Barca at 17/20 (1.85).

For Liverpool that is on a winning streak of 10 games and seeing three defeats in away matches in the group stages but triumphed in both of the away legs in their previous two knockout ties.​ Jurgen Klopp’s side can be backed at 10/3
(4.33) with the draw 29/10 (3.90).

Tips and predictions

As reeled out by goal.com, over 2.5 goals and both teams to score is rated at 9/10 (1.90) and this seems like an excellent option. While first legs of knockout ties can often see teams approach the game in cautious fashion, backing a high scoring game can still prove profitable.

However, Liverpool have not won the Champions League in a longer time than Barcelona and that could steer a big hunger and desire to sacrifice for the title win as they will stand a better chance after seeing past Barcelona.
