S.P.Read Esq: Liverpool v Real Madrid
Our daily columnist and pundit S.P. Read Esq. looks ahead to the 7.45pm kick-off in the Champions League on Wednesday between LIVERPOOL v READ MADRID and finds the best opportunities available on Star Spreads, the home of sports spread betting.
Ecellent profit for the column yesterday with the sell of the time of the first match goal between Chelsea v Maribor coming up trumps.
I sold at 29 minutes and the first goal went in on 13 minutes so it was a profit of 160 points on the day !!!
More Champions League action tonight and the headline match is without doubt at Anfield.

Liverpool have a record of played 3, won 3 against Real Madrid but the Spanish side come into this in terrific form, hence why they are now odds on from odds against for the win tonight.
Liverpool are struggling currently, certainly compared with their efforts of last season and are clearly missing Suarez and the still-injured Sturridge up front.
But they have plenty of problems too in defence as we saw yet again in the dramatic match at QPR at the weekend and come up against a Real Madrid side tonight who have scored 32 goals in their last seven matches.
However, and this is where there is a glimmer of light for Liverpool, Gareth Bale and Sergio Ramos are both out for Real Madrid due to a injured thigh muscle and calf muscle respectively. To compound problems Mario Balotelli is badly out of sorts on the pitch at the moment.
Madrid, defending champions, currently top Group B after winning both their opening games and head into the first (of many!) El Clasico’s against Barcelona on Sunday.
The bad news for Liverpool is that Cristiano Ronaldo does play and he has scored an incredible 15 goals from Real Madrid’s first eight matches of the season.
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers admitted “He’s a player off the charts. His evolution in recent years, the way how he has become a goalscorer has been amazing, we need to know to stop him”.
I’m going to stick to a similar market as to last night but am switching to the time of the second match goal and I am selling again, this time at 54 minutes with Star Spreads. Clearly I’m hoping for the bet to be landed and the profit in the bag before half-time.
