Now here are two football games with real pedigree.
Both with a distinct history, one a true European classic.
Two contrasting semi-final ties surely await in the Champions League, yet my betting tips offer consistency to match the contrast, or perhaps I am just being cautious!
Liverpool vs AS Roma (April 25, 02:45 GMT+8)
Both sides rested key men during weekend domestic duties in preparation for this so the priority for both Jurgen Klopp and Eusebio Di Francesco is clear.
Liverpool start as favourites after the impressive manner in which they dismantled Manchester City in the quarter-finals: first stunning them at Anfield and then surviving a pummelling at the Etihad Stadium before ruthlessly tuning the screw to leave them disconsolate.
The first leg at Anfield could well be another famous night for Liverpool and how Roma handle the atmosphere will be critical to their own chances of progression.
I can’t not see goals in this one and my 2 x 🌟🌟 tips are: First Half Asian Handicap -0.50 Liverpool @ 2.07 and over 3.00 goals @ 1.89.
Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid (April 26, 02:45 GMT+8)
A clash fitting for a final.
But will the German giants or the Spanish kings prevail in a repeat of last season’s Champions League quarter-finals?
Then Cristiano Ronaldo produced a masterclass, scoring five goals during a thrilling two-legged affair which needed extra-time and some controversy to separate them.
While Ronaldo has not stopped scoring in recent months, neither has prolific Munich frontman Robert Lewandowski who notched his 39th of the campaign on the weekend.
Real will have had the benefit of nearly a week off when the action begins in the Allianz Arena and that added freshness can prove crucial at this stage of the campaign.
Past encounters between these two in the Champions League have often proved decisive in determining who goes onto be crowned champions of Europe.
This could be as hard to predict as some of the ties which have gone before. And while Bayern are flying high, they have been knocked out in each of the past four seasons to Spanish opposition.
I will go for a 🌟 tip of 1X2 draw @ 3.40; a 🌟🌟🌟 prediction of total goal 2-3 @ 2.06.
