Re: Group G > Oct 23 (Barcelona, Benfica, Celtic, Spartak Moscow) I don't follow La Liga much, but without doing some research I have found some decent bets here. Barcelona conceded 2 at home against Spartak and 4 against Deportivo in their recent game, but still Both to Score @ 2.67, Celtic +3 @ 2.05 are priced more than Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.30 and Over 3.5 Goals @ 1.73. Looks like bokies either think that 3-0 and 4-0 win for Barcelona is more likely than something like 3-1 or 4-2 for example or they just trying to confuse people.

Re: Group G > Oct 23 (Barcelona, Benfica, Celtic, Spartak Moscow) Barcelona v Celtic I can't see Celtic scoring in Camp Nou. Although Celtic got a great result in Moscow I can see them returning to type this week. Barca are scoring goals for fun and Celtic generally are dire on the road in Europe. It's a strong possibility that Barca will have close to 80% possession and I can see Celtic shipping quite a few goals. Barca -3 are 6/4 (2.5) with Paddypower which is a decent price. Barca -2 is 4/6 (1.66) Paddypower which I think is close to buying money.

Re: Group G > Oct 23 (Barcelona, Benfica, Celtic, Spartak Moscow) Considering Barcelona are often around 1.04-1.05 against La Liga sides who are surely a fair bit better than Celtic, 1.10 (with Stan James) looks good value here and I have put a 10/10 stake on the home win.

Re: Group G > Oct 23 (Barcelona, Benfica, Celtic, Spartak Moscow) 4pts Benfica to beat Spartak Moscow (DNB) 5/6 Betfred I like Benfica here. Moscow is a tough place to go and I’m not convinced enough about the Portuguese side to take them for a straight win but I’m happy to back them in the draw no bet market. In the two matches they have played so far they have limited their opponents to just five shots on target so they are proving hard to break down and it was only the extreme quality Barcelona have which broke them down last time out in this competition. I’m not sure Spartak have that sort of quality so I’ll take Benfica on the draw no bet market here.

Re: Group G > Oct 23 (Barcelona, Benfica, Celtic, Spartak Moscow) 3pts Celtic Over 0.5 goals 13/8 Stan James One thing Celtic should do in this match is believe they can score. Barcelona are missing their entire first choice back four in this match and Sergio Busquets is suspended. Spartak Moscow went to the Nou Camp in the first round of matches in the competition and scored twice so you can score against this Barcelona side. Celtic are 13/8 to score a goal in this match which looks a touch high to me.

Re: Group G > Oct 23 (Barcelona, Benfica, Celtic, Spartak Moscow) Barcelona v Celtic Messi to score 2 or more @ 13/10 Bwin Alba anytime scorer @ 6/1 Coral I really can't see any value at all in backing Barca here and can't see anything other than a one sided result. The gulf in class between these two should really tell and it looks as if the Scots could be on the end of a hammering. Barca have been scoring for fun lately with 14 in there last 5 games and even with all there casualties I don't see Celtic having many chances to score here as most of the play will be in the Celtic half. The value looks to be lying in the goalscorer market with Messi and Alba being my picks. Not much to say with Messi, alot of chances are going to fall his way as they always do and he relishes these big european nights. Jordi Alba at 6/1 is great value, there aren't many better than Alba going forward on the left in the game at the moment and he should get a couple of chances to score here with the attacking Barca will be doing. He scored a well taken goal at the weekend and even bagged one for Spain last week so will be full of confidence and if Lustig does start RB for Celtic he will have his hands full down that wing.

Re: Group G > Oct 23 (Barcelona, Benfica, Celtic, Spartak Moscow) Celtic to beat Barcelona @ 45/1 betvictor Barca have a shaky defence, celtic are flying high and there is no pressure on them at the camp nou. More than possible that a stubborn celtic team could keep it tight and sneak a goal from a set piece. Not holding out much hope. But surely 45s is too long.

Re: Group G > Oct 23 (Barcelona, Benfica, Celtic, Spartak Moscow) Over 1.5 goals in the 2nd half of the Barca game is 1.85 with Coral, which looks excellent value to me. Other bookies have it around 1.5 and with Celtic no doubt tiring after trying to keep up with Barcelona's passing game it seems very likely that we will see at least a couple of goals in the second half.

Highest scoring half, they are odds on first half, which is as big as 3.6 with Stan James. And they go 3.1 about 2nd half, generally odds on. Looks like they may have the markets back to front!?! Probably call palpable error.

I wouldn't say that having a good run in the Scottish Premier League, where they are the only decent team can be used to justify that they can win at Nou Camp.

However, I think that pg_yid's bet is a good suggestion. Usually Barca starts very slow in games at Nou Camp against weaker teams. In my observations, they would speed up in the end of the first half and for most of the second half. Also, Celtic might as well contribute to his bet, and it is more likely that if they score, they will get the goal in the second half. This is because Celtic would start cautiously for sure, however, once Barca are in front, they will go more bravely forward.

Re: Group G > Oct 23 (Barcelona, Benfica, Celtic, Spartak Moscow)

I looked about 10 minutes after pg posted and the price was 1.53 for over 1.5 goals in the 2nd half so I don't think it lasted long.
count yourself lucky that you didnt take it. It was a palp for sure. They will cancel it you win and will count it if you lose.

Re: Group G > Oct 23 (Barcelona, Benfica, Celtic, Spartak Moscow)

25/1 on Hills for Gary Hooper anytime and Barcelona win. Anybody else tempted by that?
I am! Barcelona have virtually their whole defence out - Puyol, Pique, Alves and Abidal all out and Busquets is suspended! Will be Mascherano and Song at the back for Barca, I actually think there is a chance Celtic can score here, although Barca will almost certainly win, depends if Celtic can force any attacks with the 12 touches of the ball they will have..:lol Hooper anytime Barca Win - 26.0 - hills - 0.5 Points Samaras anytime Barca Win - 26.0 - hills - 0.5 Points Wanyama anytime Barca Win - 26.0 - hills - 0.5 Points

Re: Group G > Oct 23 (Barcelona, Benfica, Celtic, Spartak Moscow) I think a lay on Spartak Moscow is the bet here with the injuries they have. Celtic beat them away from home, they have lost their last 2 league games on the trot, playing terrible football, you would have to fancy Benfica getting a result tonight. In the Barcelona game, i think Barcelona to win by 3 goals is the bet. Celtic have never lost to a top europan side by more than 3 goals away from home, so i think just under 5/1 with Bet Victor offers value for a 3 goal win for Barca.

Re: Group G > Oct 23 (Barcelona, Benfica, Celtic, Spartak Moscow)

I just cannot see Celtic scoring because even though they got a good result against Moscow last time out and scored three goals' date=' on this big pitch they are not a footballing team and will hardly threaten Barca.[/quote']If you are going to use a throw away line like "they are not a footballing team" have something to back that with. Clearly you have not watched Celtic in recent times, regardless of where they play their football, they do play football on the ground and to quite an effect, which sees them so far holding their own in this group. Celtic will have a mammoth task without doubt in the Camp Nou but with a Barca team still in managerial transition, they will at some time in the game be presented with an opportunity, so I think it's possible they could score. Lines like that without reason are best confined to certain tabloid newspapers.

They haven't palped it yet, so if they do it will likely be after the game, which would be bad form.

Probably hammered by arbers considering the price was heavily out of kilter with the market.
