Champions League Soccer Futures - Liverpool vs. Chelsea

[Shame About Ray]

After yesterday’s awful debacle deep into added time, when a headed own goal by Liverpool substitute player, John Arne Riise, beat Liverpool keeper Reina, rescuing the match for Chelsea, the resulting 1-1 draw caused a serious shift in Champions League Soccer Futures, but not in the direction pundits expected before the start of the first leg between Liverpool vs. Chelsea. BetUS Sportsbook opened Futures betting on the semi-final matchup between the all-Premiership side with Liverpool and Chelsea tipped at -115 to advance into the Champions League final. In their fourth consecutive Championship League meeting and third shot in the last four seasons to determine one of the finalists, history pointed to Liverpool as the more successful side of this all-Premiership matchup in Europe’s prestigious competition. But, thanks to Riise’s header giving the visitors the all important “away” goal, the soccer line moved in favour of Chelsea – from (-115) to (-275). So the question for soccer betting enthusiasts looking to bet on this matchup in the final four is whether to take Liverpool, in spite of their recent demotion to underdog odds at +190 or will taking the suddenly favoured Chelsea side at elevated odds of -275 be the better play. Despite the move made by the odds makers on the soccer line, this tie is by no means decided. Make no mistake about that.
