Both Teams to Score \u2013 Yes<\/strong><\/td>\nBet365<\/a> 4\/5<\/a>
(55.6%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nThere could be value here due to Barcelona\u2019s leaky defence (zero clean sheets in 7 Champions League outings) and Copenhagen\u2019s open style. The Danes have scored 22 goals in 13 matches (1.7 per game) and created more big chances (21) than their hosts.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Correct Score 3-0<\/strong><\/td>\nBet365<\/a> 7\/1<\/a>
(12.5%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nBarcelona average over 2.5 goals per Champions League game at home and, while they\u2019ve been defensively suspect, Copenhagen have shipped 17 in 7 group games. If the hosts click, this scoreline is well within range at a generous price.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Odds correct at the time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.<\/small><\/p>\n\n\n
