Betfair market keen on Tottenham's trophy chances

 

Spurs are in fine form under AVB and they head the Europa League winner market on Betfair ahead of this week's fixtures...

 

Tottenham are the Europa League favourites ahead of the second leg, last-16 fixtures this week.

 

Holding a 3-0 lead from last Thursday's game at White Hart Lane, punters are confident in Spurs' ability to negotiate the San Siro test that awaits and make the north London club 4.5 to lift the trophy. Spurs manager Andre Villas-Boas knows what it takes to win the tournament of course, having led Porto to the 2011 final where they beat Braga. Inter, once backed at 9.0, are out to 80.0 to win the tournament,

 

Chelsea were beaten 1-0 at Steaua Buchares last week, but the Betfair market doesn't expect the Blues to encounter any trouble in the second leg. Rafa Benitez's side are the 6.6 second favourites to win the Amsterdam final.

 

Newcastle pulled off a decent 0-0 draw to deny Anzhi an advantage from the first leg of their tie in Moscow but are unfancied in the market. Alan Pardew's side can be backed at 20.0 to win the Europa League while the mega money Russian opponents trade at 11.0.

 

Benfica are third favourites at 6.8 but go to Bordeaux with a slim 1-0 advantage after the first leg at the Estádio da Luz. The market doesn't hold much hope for the French side, who are trading at 55.0.

 

Other likely contenders include Lazio, at 11.0, and Rubin Kazan (16.5).
