CHAMPIONS LEAGUE PREVIEW

Five stats about Barcelona’s clash with Bayern Munich

Barcelona/Bayern, 7.45pm, Sky Sports 3, Free Bets, Best Odds

These two teams are the highest scorers in this year’s Champions League so this clash has the potential to be the most exciting of this year’s competition so far. Last year’s “dream match” between Barcelona and Manchester United was such a letdown that even Liverpool/Chelsea managed to be more exciting. Hopefully this one won’t go the same way:

1. The two sides last met ten seasons ago in the Champions League group stages. On that occasion Bayern Munich won both ties, triumphing 1-0 at home and 2-1 away. The German side are 28/1 with Boylesports to win by that scoreline tonight.

2. Barcelona are yet to keep a home clean sheet in the tournament proper this season and have conceded five goals in their last two European matches at the Nou Camp.

ENGLAND v SLOVAKIA

Why there should be at least three goals scored at Wembley

England/Slovakia, 5.15pm, Setanta Sports 1, Free Bets, Best Odds

Some fans feared that England would become more boring to watch with an Italian in charge but the truth is that they were already coma-inducingly bad most of the time. Despite concerns that Fabio Capello would look to grind out 1-0 wins, there has already been a 5-1, a 4-1 and a 3-0. Here’s why Saturday’s friendly should also feature over 2.5 goals, which is 5/6 with Sky Bet:

» Seven consecutive Slovakia matches have contained at least three goals, while four of the last five have had over 3.5, which is available at 7/4 with Paddy Power.

» Eight of England’s last nine home games have featured more than 2.5 goals.
