Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Hills are offering 9/2 that Rangers win and 9/4 that they qualify for the next round of the tournament, while they are 12/1 to win on the away goals rule. 6/1 is available for all three of the British sides to win their respective matches.

Manchester City are 4/6 to progress furthest of the three British sides left in the competition, with Liverpool 6/4 and Rangers 7/1. A Manchester City vs Liverpool Europa Final is offered at 14/1 with Hills.

“Manchester City and Liverpool should be confident of progressing and it seems like a straight shoot out between the two to earn the crown of ‘best of British’,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Rangers are up against it in Portugal and it would appear that they will be taking their leave from the tournament after Thursday’s game.”

Torres Is 6/1 To Still Feel Blue In Five Games Time

Following Spurs’ defeat to Blackpool William Hill are offering 5/4 that they finish in the top four and Harry Redknapp is 1/3 to still be at White Hart Lane by the end of the 2011/2012 season.
