BAYERN Munich are the shortest price favourite on Wednesday\’s Champions League fixture list even though they make the long trip to Russia to face Rostov. Bookmakers Review lists the best available odds from green listed bookmakers.
The bookies have the German champions at just 1.25 to win this Group D match-up, and even though they should get maximum points that is not a price that I will be getting stuck into.
Last weekend Bayern lost their unbeaten Bundesliga record after a 1-0 defeat at arch-rivals Borussia Dortmund and with a defeat at Atletico Madrid already in Group D, they do look on the short side at the current prices that the bookies are offering.
Rostov have struggled in the Russian league this campaign and currently sit in a lowly sixth position and when the two met in Bavaria back in September they were lucky to escape with just a 5-0 hammering and although they probably will get beat, it won\’t be by such a big margin again.
The Russians have lost just once in their four home Champions League matches which was against group leaders Atletico Madrid only 1-0 and the Spaniards are the only side to come back from Russia with maximum points and they do look slightly overpriced at the huge 15.0 with Betfred.
I am not going to back them as Munich do have enough quality to win the match but I expect them to cause the five times European winners a few problems and I like the Russians on the Asian handicap markets +1.5 goals at 2.10. Munich have conceded in NINE of their last ten matches and both teams to score also looks a bet at 2.25 with Betfred in a match where the home side have to give it a go otherwise they will be eliminated from the competition.
