Real Madrid, Juve, Reading all to win in 90 mins at fantastic 15/2

Los Blancos are at home to city rivals Atletico Madrid, the Old Lady travel to Monaco and the Royals host Birmingham.
All three teams featured in this terrific treble are odds-on or short-price favourites for victory in normal time, and here are more reasons why you should back this brilliant bet…
Real Madrid v Atletico Madrid
Carlo Ancelotti’s men managed to hold Atleti to a draw in the first leg of this quarter-final, which puts them in a great position going into their home fixture. Real are odds-on favourites at 4/5 to beat them in 90 minutes at the Bernabeu.

Superstars Cristiano Ronaldo and James Rodriguez will be available for this clash, and are respective 10/11 and 11/4 chances to net anytime. Manchester United loanee Javier Hernandez could also get a start, and is 2/1 in the same market.
Monaco v Juventus
Runaway Serie A leaders Juve go into this match with a 1-0 advantage, after beating Monaco in Turin last time out, thanks to Chilean star Arturo Vidal’s effort. The Italians are 5/4 favourites to win again in normal time and 11/2 to do so by that scoreline.

Vidal is a 10/3 chance to score again anytime, while Juventus’ terrific strikeforce of Carlos Tevez, Fernando Llorente and Alvaro Morata are priced at 6/4, 2/1 and 2/1 respectively.
Reading v Birmingham
This Championship fixture finishes off our Wednesday treble, and Reading, who beat Birmingham in both meetings last season, are even-money favourites for victory here, after their recent spirited display in the FA Cup semi-final against Arsenal.


For goals, go for big Russian Pavel Pogrebnyak in the anytime market at 9/5, while former Everton star Yakubu is 6/1 to net last.

Tottenham’s Dele Alli eyes Premier League debut at Manchester United

It was quite the opening statement. Dele Alli, 24 minutes into his first start in a Tottenham Hotspur shirt, suckered in Luka Modric of Real Madrid, nutmegged him and accelerated away. The 70,000 sell-out crowd at Bayern Munich’s Allianz Arena roared at the 19-year-old’s sheer impudence. "We had a laugh about it in the tunnel afterwards; he was very good about it,” Alli said. "He shook my hand and said to me: ‘You little bugger’ – or something like that. I didn’t shout ‘nuts’ when I did it. I used to do that when I was young and get told off for it." As Alli spoke at the Allianz after Tuesday’s 2-0 Audi Cup victory, some of Real’s galácticos filed past. This time last year the midfielder was preparing for MK Dons’ League One season opener against Gillingham. His previous competitive game was for MK against Yeovil in May. Alli says “unreal” and “surreal” on a number of occasions and it is little wonder. This is a young player of conviction. If the nutmeg on one of...
