17 April 2014, London, UK (Press Release) — The Champions League enters the semi-final stage next week, and GR88.com bookmakers anticipate the top two clubs in Spain to benefit from home advantage in the first leg.
Atlético Madrid (1.94) go into their first leg against Chelsea (4.10) on a high, having knocked out La Liga rivals Barcelona in the previous round. However with both teams facing a tough few weeks on the domestic front, Tuesday’s first leg could prove cagey and the draw can be backed at 3.10 (all odds are subject to change).
On Wednesday the Spanish capital will also play host to the second semi-final, with Real Madrid (2.28) slight favourites to gain an early advantage over holders Bayern Munich (2.90). Carlo Ancelotti’s side have already eliminated last year’s losing finalists Borussia Dortmund, and will need to get past a second German opponent to reach the final.
Bayern are still favourites to win the whole tournament, at 2.26, but any one of the four teams could realistically end the season as champions of Europe.
“This year’s Champions League has been of the highest quality throughout, and the semi-finals will be no exception,” GR88.com blogger Antony Jordan said.
“With the last two winners of the competition still involved, as well as the top two clubs in Spain, we are sure to see some fantastic football next week.”
The four semi-finalists have scored more than 300 goals between them in their respective domestic leagues, so there looks like being plenty of action in the first legs, however GR88’s Late Goal Refund means bets won’t be ruined of the scoreline changes in the final minutes.
If a goal is scored in the 88th minute or later, all match result, correct score or last goalscorer bets which had been winning before the goal went in will be refunded. The promotion also extends to matches in the English Premier League, and full terms and conditions can be found here.
