FYI folks, Betpack.com are running a Champions League mobile 2/1 special, so if you place any bet tonight’s Champions League matches at odds of 2/1 or greater on mobile or tablet, they will match any winning stakes upto €25. So here are the odds that you need to know…

Chelsea v Paris Saint-Germain

Paris Saint-Germain FC v Chelsea - UEFA Champions League Quarter Final

Chelsea were given a bit of a footballing lesson in Paris last week in the first leg (pic above)and will have their work cut out to retrieve the 3-1 deficit. Jose Mourinho loves a good challenge though and if you fancy Chelsea to win on the night they are at 5/6 with the draw coming in at 11/4. For PSG to repeat their victory of last week, they can be got at 100/30. If you believe Mourinho will outwit Blanc and see Chelsea qualify, the odds are 11/4 and PSG are heavily priced with their two goal lead at 1/4.

The half-time, full-time predictions on the match itself are an always popular market and for Chelsea to lead at both half-time and full-time, the odds are a pretty short 15/8. If you’re thinking it’ll be a cagey start with it level at half-time and Chelsea winning in the second half, the odds are 4/1.

Paris Saint-Germain FC v Chelsea - UEFA Champions League Quarter Final

The first goalscorer market is led by Samuel Eto’0 at 5/1 followed by his colleague, the in-form Eden Hazard (pic above)at 6/1. Cavani is the leading PSG player to score first at 13/2 with Chelsea’s chief tormentor from last week, Ezequiel Lavezzi available at 8/1.

A two nil victory will be enough for Chelsea to go through and if you fancy that scoreline, the odds are 8/1. The smart money could be on a nice double of Chelsea to qualify and by a scoreline of 2-0. PSG are no mugs obviously, but without their talisman Zlatan Ibrahimovic, they may struggle at Stamford Bridge.

Borussia Dortmund v Real Madrid

To most people, Real Madrid are all but through to the semi-finals following their comprehensive 3-0 win (pic below)in the first leg last week in Madrid. That probably explains why they are priced at the miserly 1/100. If you see Dortmund performing a miracle and overturning the three goal deficit, the odds are at 33/1.

Real Madrid v Borussia Dortmund - UEFA Champions League Quarter Final

The match itself is a tougher one to call and the odds reflect that with Dortmund available at 4/1 to win with Madrid coming in at 11/10. The draw is there for 11/4. There is no doubt that Dortmund will have to be fast out of the starting blocks if they are to get anything out of the tie and if you think they can lead at half-time and still lead at full-time the odds there are 4/1. Real Madrid to keep turning the screw on the Germans and lead at half-time and full-time is there for 9/4.

For Dortmund to progress they will need at least a 3-0 scoreline and that is available at a whopping 33/1. For Madrid to repeat that 3-0 scoreline from last week, the odds are 20/1. The draw looks more appealing and a 1-1 draw can be got at 11/2.

Borussia Dortmund v FC Zenit - UEFA Champions League Round of 16

Cristiano Ronaldo is a goalscoring machine and it’s no surprise to see him leading the market for first goalscorer at 7/2. Polish striker, Robert Lewandowski, who was suspended for the first leg is back for Dortmund and he is quoted at 11/2 to score first. Gareth Bale is having a fine debut season for the Madrid outfit and he is there at a tempting looking 13/2 to grab the first goal.
