We all know how this game is going to pan out. Chelsea are going to put every man behind the ball and try to defend their first leg advantage.
In the game at Stamford Bridge last week, Chelsea had just one shot on target and Barcelona wasted a hatful of opportunities.
There are a few key differences for the return leg. Firstly the Nou Camp is a much bigger pitch giving Barcelona more space to play their football in the final third.
Then there is 90,000 fans cheering on the home side. Plus one other thing I noticed watching the El Clasico on Saturday. Everytime the ball goes out of play another ball comes straight back from the ball boys and Chelsea won't have anytime to rest.
This bet all depends on Barcelona taking their chances. At 0-0 Chelsea and 1-0 I think Chelsea will continue to defend.
If Barcelona get 2-0 up then Chelsea will have to attack in search of the away goal and that could spell disaster.
If Barcelona do get a second goal and Chelsea open up then Barcelona could get 4 or 5. That's why I like this handicap bet.
Value in the odds is the main reason why I have gone with this bet however. 4 other bookmakers are offering this bet. betfred 4.5, betvictor 4.6, bet365 4.75 and ladbrokes 5.0.
Therefore the odds of 7.0 available at Paddy Power looks a stand out price.

I really don't understand the odds for this match and unless Hantuchova(#20) has some kind of injury I don't know about then I think she is a good value bet.
These two Fed Cup team mates have met 4 times in the past and Hantuchova has won them all.
Their last meeting came in Brisbane earlier this year and Hantuchova started the match as the 11/10 underdog but prevailed.
Hantuchova also won their only previous clay court meeting back in 2007 losing just 5 games.
Cibulkova has been in good form winning 6 of her last 7 matches and reaching the final in Barcelona. Her best win though came against Sorano Cirstea who was ranked number 47 at the time.
In the final in Barcelona, Cibulkova was well beaten by Errani (#33) 6-2 6-2.
These two have very similar records on clay courts during their career and of the two Hantuchova has faired better here in Stuttgart.
In fact Cibulkova has never won a match in this tennis tournament and this will be her 4th visit to the German city.
Hantuchova has been in good form this season winning the title in Pattaya City, reaching the final in Brisbane as well as Quarter Final appearances in Sydney and Dubai.
For me this is a very close match and at odds of 3.18 at Pinnacle Sports the value has to lie with Hantuchova. Doesn't it?

I tipped Frederico Gi (#132) last week to beat Mikhail Youzhny (#35) and he didn't disappoint losing just 4 games.
I am willing to go with Gil again in Barcelona and with some very good reasons in my opinion.
Gil leads the head 2 head 4-1 against Marcel Granollers (#25). He has won all 3 of their meetings on clay court.
They last played one another in the Australian Open in January and Gil won in 4 sets.
To be honest I can't see why anyone would want to back Granollers at these odds.
He has failed to win back to back tennis matches this season and it's 6 weeks since he last won a match on the ATP.
Granollers has a terrible record (2-10) in Barcelona and didn't win a match in his first 8 visits. The past two years he's crashed out in the second round.
Gil has had a number of good wins this season over the likes of Andujar (#44) and Bellucci (#47) and I happy to back him at 6/4 to beat Granollers yet again. Expekt are offering the best odds.

I think at this price Ernests Gulbis (#84) is worth a gamble to beat Bernard Tomic (#36).
I backed Tomic last week in Monte Carlo and watching him play against Dolgopolov it became clear why he has such a poor record on clay.
He still doesn't look comfortable moving around the court and hasn't mastered the slide. He also lacks the power to hit winners.
It means he has to rely on his opponents mistakes to win points and sometimes that can be very hard if the player at the other end of the net is playing well.
Tomic won his first main draw clay court match last week against Istomin. He has only ever played 14 matches on this surface and 11 of those have ended in defeat.
Of course it all depends which Gulbis turns up. He certainly has the power to hit through Tomic and if he's motivated then I expect him to win.
He hasn't been in great form but had a good run here in Barcelona in 2010 to reach the Quarter Finals so must like this venue.
The key is the odds. Anyone backing Tomic at 1.44 really is brave given his poor clay court record. Odds of 2/1 at Pinnacle Sports on Gulbis look very good value.
