UEFA Cup Soccer Betting - Bayern Munich vs. RSC Anderlecht

By Nila Amerova

The second leg of the tie between Bayern Munich and RSC Anderlecht seems to be an entirely one-sided affair – a clear-cut soccer pick as Bayern is heavily favored on the money line at -450 by BetUS . Hardly surprising as with their 5:0 away win, they are perhaps the only certain UEFA Cup quarterfinalists.

UEFA CUP ODDS:

Match Time: 03:45 PM Eastern Time, Wednesday March 12, 2008

Team: Bayern Munich

Spread -1½ -125

Moneyline -450

Total Points Over 2½ -150

Draw +475

Analysis: Bayern crushed the Brussels side in the first leg, and at -450 on the money line, they are the sure play for the win in their upcoming home contest. With their place in the UEFA Cup an almost certainty, their second leg is a mere formality.

Team: RSC Anderlecht

Spread +1½ +105

Moneyline +1000

Total Points Under 2½ +130

Draw +475

Analysis: RSC Anderlect arrives in Fußball Arena München tomorrow, facing certain defeat and elimination from the UEFA Cup. The question is how they will bow out of their campaign: with another demoralizing score or will they salvage some pride by holding Bayern to a low score in their home arena. Frankly, after receiving the worst home defeat in European competition, the Brussels side is in danger of being swept aside once again and in similar fashion in front of a Munich crowd that at its best serves as the twelfth player for the German side.

Soccer Betting Verdict: To be sure, long odds bettors might be tempted to risk some money on RSC Anderlecht, as with a price tag of +1000 they would earn a landslide payout should they achieve the unthinkable. But a 5:0 score line in their away win removes any dilemmas that the Brussels side could upset the home favourites. If anything, bettors would be better off wagering on goals and as Bayern will approach this match as more of a training session, they are sure to find the net several times over – just for practice.
