Champions League Matchday 1

Not a huge amount jumping out betting wise for tonights games so just have 2 bets for small stakes to advise:
Marseilles 0.5 pt at 7/5 (v Milan) Boylesports. People like to think of the French league as a 1 team league but it is worth remembering that Lyon could only manage 3rd last year behind Bordeaux and Marseilles. It is hard to imagine Lyon being priced up at 7/5 for this game. It is worth remembering that home advantage is more significant in European games as even last season Marseilles took 4 points from 9. Milan are a weakened team now that Kaka has departed and with the French season already 5 games in and Milan still in pre season Im happy enough to take a chance on them getting off to the perfect start.

Sell bookings 1 pt per yellow Man Utd v Besiktas at 40 Sporting Index. Referee Rizzoli is very inexperienced at this level with only 2 CL games and 2 UEFA cup games to date. As with most inexperienced referees he is slightly reluctant to dish out cards. Even allowing for what is likely to be an electric atmosphere in Turkey this line still looks on the high side.
