Chelsea ease through Champions League openers

Having started the Premier League season in fantastic form, Chelsea have also started the Champions League in a rich vein of form that has seen them clearly demonstrate why they are one of the current favourites with Champions league betting to lift the trophy at Wembley come next May.

Even though they are a side which is still ironing out one or two difficulties (having been beaten by a well-organised Manchester City side in the Premier League), they have also shown that they are a team capable of beating their main rivals, having comprehensively overcome the challenge posed by London rivals Arsenal in a recent tie in the Premier League.

With players such as Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard having failed to show their best form in the European competition this season, Chelsea are surely only going to improve as the competition progresses, a fact that is likely to worry rivals such as Barcelona, who will be looking to continue their rivalry with the London side come the knockout stages of the Champions League.

However, with the competition still in its early days, Chelsea know that they still have some work to do in order to ensure that they are certain to win their group and subsequently improve their chances of facing a weaker side in the first round of the knockout stages.

Should they slacken off before this time, however, the Champions League odds believe that Chelsea are likely to face a far more difficult time if they wish to pick up their first Champions League trophy at Wembley next year.

Spurs finally mixing it with the big boys

It has been 49 years since Tottenham Hotspur were last in Europe’s premier club competition. Since then, man has walked on the moon, the Beatles formed (and subsequently split up), and the Berlin wall was brought crashing down by a combination of the collapse of the Eastern Bloc – whichever way you look at it, that’s a long wait for another chance at the big time.

But if you asked their fans whether the wait has been worth it, the majority would probably say yes. When fully fit, the team now looks strong in all departments, and the man at the helm, Harry Redknapp, is one of the most respected coaches in the Premier League. He is currently strong favourite to take over the national side when Fabio Capello steps down at the end of the European Championships in 2012 – a change that many feel is long overdue following the unsuccessful reign of Steve McLaren and our poor showing at the World Cup in South Africa.

And why not? When he took over the reins at Spurs, they were languishing at the bottom of the table, but that season he guided them to an eighth place finish and refurbished his squad with an array of exciting internationals such as Jermaine Defoe, Wilson Palacios and Robbie Keane – a player previously struggling for form at rivals Liverpool. He got the best from the players he already had at his disposal, and enhanced the belief and performances from those he brought in – a trait which saw him guide Spurs to a fourth place finish last term. But he’s being realistic about the challenge he faces this season.

Spurs are currently suffering something of an injury crisis in defence, with King, Gallas, Assou-Ekotto, Dawson and Woodgate all taking up space on the physio table, but get them back fit and there’s no reason why last season’s success should be a one-off, the Spurs betting certainly suggests they’re in with a chance.

Add those players to a midfield reinforced with the signing of Rafael Van der Vaart – a genuine world-beater bought for a knock-down price – and a front line of Pavlyuchenko, Keane, Crouch and Defoe, they look like they could give any side in Europe a game. We’ll know more after their midweek encounter with Inter Milan, but Spurs have to believe they are where they deserve to be – and if they do, then the current holders could be in for quite a shock come Wednesday night.

Meanwhile, the Blackburn betting suggests the side could pick up three points against Sunderland this weekend.

The north-east team has a woeful away record and could slip up again.

But while Taufik cruised into the second round at Palaran Stadium here, some of the country’s other top seeds crashed out of the event at the first hurdle.

Fourth-seeded Sony Dwi Kuncoro was sent packing as he suffered a shock 21-13, 10-21, 21-16 defeat at the hands of unheralded Malaysian Misbun Mohmed Misbun R in the men’s singles.

Top seed Adriyanti Firdasari managed to avoid the upset bug as she eased through in women’s singles with a 21-12, 21-12 rout of fellow Indonesian Renna Suwarno.

In mixed doubles, top seeds Hendra Aprida Gunawan and Vita Marissa moved into the second round as they cruised to a 21-15, 21-12 win over Irfan Fadhilah and Weni Anggraini.

In the men’s doubles, top seeds Yonatan Suryatama Dasuki and Rian Sukmawan survived a determined effort by Rendy Sugiarto and Afiat Yuris Wirawan, winning 21-13, 17-21, 22-20.

Indonesian shuttlers also pulled off a couple of shocks of their own. Unseeded men’s pair Marcus Fernaldi Gideon and Christopher Rusdianto trounced No. 7 seeds Liu Xiaolong and Qiu Zihan of China 21-16, 21-17, while the mixed doubles duo of Tri Kusuma Wardana and Nadya Melati upset another Chinese pair, No. 8 seeds Qiu Zihan and Luo Yu, 21-17, 15-21, 21-12.
