Chelsea V Liverpool Champions League Tonight

Chelsea v Liverpool - 7:30 Live on ITV1 tonight.

Champions League Football Aired On ITV is good for soccer fans who do not have Sky TV - which includes me at the moment. It is good to see some live football with a wager riding on the result. It means more with money on it, that is for sure.

Football "form gamblers" will look towards the fact Chelsea have not managed to score against Liverpool in their last 3 attempts in the Uefa Champions League

Tonight I think it will be different game and scoreline. Chelsea will score imo, Liverpool will find the net too. Can you say Peter Crouch? Neither side actually needs the win, so both teams will have relatively little pressure to hold them back I bet.

I will not take the 8/13 odds on about the Chelsea outright win. I will back the draw at 9/4 for tonights match-up.

Ladbrokes Outright Match Odds
Chelsea 8/13
Draw 9/4
Liverpool 4/1
More interestingly, the Ladbrokes odds compilers have the first goalscorer odds for Peter Crouch priced up at 8/1. A reasonable price, if not outstanding value, but hey - I can see Crouch scoring first somehow.

Gamblog Comment - My money is the drawn game and a dabble on Crouch to get the first goal. However, I am no betting tipster. I am just a gambler, a punter, just like you. The only difference is I report the odds and put my bets online.

Good luck - remember, gambling is a game of chance.
