The odds are updated on a frequent basis. You might therefore find that they are different to the ones listed for the above betting predictions.
Chelsea Big Favourites With the Bookies
You might not get rich backing Chelsea at -435 to win this Champions League clash although these betting odds imply a 81% chance that the favourites end up winning. If you’re looking for an alternative angle, the underdogs Ajax are trading at +1000.
There’s a nice alternative in the form of the Half-Time Result market. This allows you to back Chelsea at -164 to lead at the break or alternatively opt for Ajax at +650. The draw is the third option at +215.
Over 2.5 Goals is the market leader and that means three or more goals are predicted. Both Teams to Score is a two-way market and, in terms of price, there’s not much to split Yes and No.
The good news is that you can access hundreds of markets for any Champions League game. The best football betting sites have a massive range of pre-match and In-Play betting options.







João Pedro Favourite to Find the Net First
There is -128 available that João Pedro finds the net anytime, while the favourite to score the first goal is on offer at +280.
