0-0 in both games assures bookies of a profitable night in the Champions League.
It was supposed to be a night full of goals in the Champions League but it proved to be the opposite, with two 0-0 draws at combined odds of 287/1 costing punters huge sums.
You could have got that best price using the Oddschecker grids, although there wasn't too many backers of that.
Just 11% of total bets on the Liverpool v Bayern game went on the 0-0 scoreline pre-match, and just 13% respectively on the same scoreline for the Lyon v Barcelona match.
Lucky punters who did back the unthinkable will hopefully have used our grids, because the worst price available before the games kicked off was 109/1. That’s a £1780 difference in potential returns, based on a £10 stake.
Liverpool will be up against it in the second leg at the Allianz Arena. If they do slip out of the cup, it will be all attention to the Premier League, where they are 6/4 best price to end their 29 year drought.
Oddschecker spokesman George Elek: “It wasn’t the Champions League night we expected, but Bayern and Lyon did extremely well to nullify the attack threat of Barcelona and Liverpool. Fair play to any lucky punters, who may well try their luck at the same permutations for the Wednesday games!”
