Real Madrid v Liverpool
Ahead of their home leg a fortnight ago, I actually suggested that Liverpool might be good for a point. Won't be making those sorts of mistakes again. Real are ace, clearly, but odds of 10/1 for the away win here has got just as much to do with the Scousers being awful right now. You'd think they were some former Soviet minnow rather than last year's Premier League runners-up. The flip-side of that is 1/4 for Real outright, the -2 handicap shouldn't give you too much bother though and looks decent value at 6/4. There's similar prices to be had on the home win to nil (13/10), and 2/1 on 4.5+ match goals seems realistic enough. Ronaldo should be good for a chunk of them and he's 7/4 to get 2 or more. Bale's fit again too and 6/5 any time.
Prediction: 4-0 (12/1)
Arsenal v Anderlecht
The Gunners made proper hard work of it the last time these two met but do seem to have turned a corner since then. Home advantage won't hurt either and 21/10 for the -2 handicap is just about long enough to be worthwhile. Can't see past Sanchez in the scorers right now. You'd expect him to be odds-on in the any times but no, just EVS. Seems decent, as does 5/1 on him getting 2 or more.
Prediction: 3-1 (10/1)
