Arsenal FC 20/1 to win Champions League after drawing AC Milan Visit SkyBet Save For Later Posted by Bettingpro Staff 16 Dec 2011 Tweet (credit: Mike Hewitt/Getty Images) Related Articles See all Champions League news Share it Pin It Arsenal given tough Champions League draw, with Chelsea also facing Italian opposition in the form of NapoliArsenal and Chelsea’s Champions League odds have been pushed out to 20/1 and 12/1 respectively by online bookmaker Sky Bet after being handed tough trips to Italy in the last 16.Arsenal will meet Italian champions AC Milan for the second time in four years, while Chelsea must travel to the intimidating San Paolo to meet Napoli. Sky Bet’s football odds compilers have reacted to the difficult draw by moving Arsenal out from 16/1 to 20/1 to win their first Champions League title; Chelsea, meanwhile, have been pushed from 10/1 to 12/1 given Napoli’s impressive performances in the group stage – particularly against Premier League leaders Manchester City.Despite both English clubs drifting, they still maintain favouritism to advance to the quarter finals. Arsene Wenger’s men have reached the quarter finals in three of the last four seasons and are 8/11 to do so again, while Chelsea are 4/9. AC Milan (25/1 outright) and Napoli (33/1 outright) are evens and 13/8 respectively to upset the odds.Holders Barcelona have shortened to 11/8 (from 6/4) after being handed a favourable tie with Bayer Leverkusen – Sky Bet make them a short 1/9 to advance to yet another quarter final. Real Madrid (5/2) and Bayern Munich (5/1) also avoided the trickier ties by drawing CSKA Moscow and Basle, although the Swiss side will be hoping for another big scalp after knocking out Manchester United in the group stage.Elsewhere, Internazionale (28/1) drew Marseille (125/1), while Benfica (50/1) travel to Zenit (125/1) in the first leg of their last 16 clash. 200/1 outsiders APOEL – the first Cypriot team to reach the knockout stages – will take on perennial overachievers Lyon (50/1) for a spot in the last eight.Sky Bet’s Dale Tempest told Bettingpro: “It’s a tough draw for both Arsenal and Chelsea – it could have been a lot easier for them. AC Milan won last season’s Serie A, while Napoli showed everyone what they’re capable of in a tough group which included Manchester City.“Both Arsene Wenger and Andre Villas-Boas know the quarter finals will be expected of them, but it won’t be as academic as some will make out – especially travelling to Italy first. With easy-looking ties for those at the head of the market, winning this year’s competition is looking a huge task for both.” Read our SkyBet review Get a £10 free bet (no deposit) plus £50 free (cash match) at Skybet Like Like Post to wall 500 Reads All Football News Recent Football Articles UEFA Champions League results - Chelsea 1-0 Barcelona in pictures25 May 2012Chelsea beat Barcelona 1-0 at Stamford Bridge thanks to a goal from Didier Drogba and some solid de Champions League 2012-13 Dates and Schedule23 May 2012A guide detailing all the important dates for next season’s Champions League competition Champions League 2012-13 Preview – Could Chelsea rule Europe again?22 May 2012The 2012-13 campaign will see Chelsea aim to defend the Champions League title they won by beating Champions League 2012-13 odds - Barcelona and Real Madrid both 4/121 May 2012Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid, beaten semi-finalists this year, have been installed 4/1 UEFA Champions League 2012-2013 Complete Schedule and Fixture List21 May 2012A guide detailing all the fixtures and important dates for this season's UEFA Champions League comp Chelsea FC land odds of 80-1 to win UEFA Champions League20 May 2012Chelsea's UEFA Champions League victory was unexpected and caused havoc on betting exchanges with t More Stories Recent Articles WTA Strasbourg Final live - Francesca Schiavone and Alize Cornet25 May 2012Francesca Schiavone and Alize Cornet are scheduled to meet on Saturday for an eagerly anticipated Eurovision Song Contest 2012 Guide - Spain25 May 2012Spain have the best draw and a powerful performer but they face an uphill struggle to win Eurovisio Eurovision Song Contest 2012 Guide - Germany25 May 2012Germany's entry is one of the most professional of Eurovision 2012 but it Roman Lob's song Standing Irish 2000 Guineas Betting Tips - Who'll Win the Irish 2000 Guineas?25 May 2012Trainer Aidan O'Brien is responsible for four of the 11 colts that will go to post for Saturday's I Norway v England First Goalscorer Cashback at Boylesports25 May 2012Boylesports are continuing their popular First Goalscorer cashback promotion on Saturday's internat League One Play-off Final First Goalscorer Cashback at Boylesports25 May 2012Boylesports are continuing their popular First Goalscorer cashback promotion on Saturday's League O More Stories Tags Arsenal Odds Champions League, Champions League Dates, Champions League Draw, Champions League Last 16 Draw, Champions League Odds
