It seems there’s little Tottenham can do to come back from the devastating 4-0 defeat handed them by Real Madrid two weeks ago; a required like 4-0 victory by Spurs is getting 50/1 odds in bet365’s “Correct Score” proposition bet. Donetsk is in a similar boat after its own 5-1 punishment at Barcelona’s hands and are getting a line of 125/1 at bet365 to repeat that feat.

The best bet in these matches, then, would probably be to take the “over” in over/under props in assuming relentless attacking by the underdogs. Unibet over/under line on 2.5 goals scored in the Donetsk-Barcelona match is a nice 1.67, while for Tottenham-Madrid is 1.65 in this wager.

Chelsea fights an uphill battle at old rivals Manchester United, needing to find a way back from a disappointing 1-0 loss amidst an inconsistent, up-and-down season for the Blues. Chelsea will enjoy the return of Alex in defense with Wayne Rooney always a threat to score at Old Trafford: Bodog says he’s the favorite to score in the match at 13/10 in the “Anytime Goalscorer” proposition bet.

Odds for outright winners in each match at bet365, Unibet and Bodog online sportsbooks are listed in the table, with odds on a draw listed at center.
