Real Madrid became the third casualty, the biggest so far, of the R16 Champions League today when they were given a reality check by a stoic Olympique Lyonnais side. Seismic shockwaves reverberated through the soccer betting community, not to mention at Estadio Santiago Bernabéu (Madrid) when Lyon took the 2:1 win on aggregate to advance into the quarterfinals.
The postponed match between Girondins de Bordeaux and Auxerre is finally set to kick off on Wednesday in midweek Ligue 1 action. The match was originally scheduled for 20.02.10 but postponed due to Bordeaux’s cup match, which Bordeaux won convincingly 4:1 over Lorient.

Real Madrid were fairly impressive in group action, topping their group to advance into the knockout phase with a 4-1-1 mark – both their hiccups coming to AC Milan.

Burnley and Stoke City collide in mid-week Premier League action on Wednesday. Burnley boast a fairly solid home mark while Stoke City are arguably a fair team in terms of home and road performance.
For awhile, Burnley managed to hold a good position in the league table – largely because of their performance at Turf Moor.
Manchester United took the away win against AC Milan in the first leg, beating the Italians 3:2 at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. It is but a slender lead and Man U will have to find their formidable home form if they are to rubber stamp their ticket to the quarterfinals.

Soccer bettors looking for value bets need look no further than the Sunderland/Bolton clash set for Tuesday afternoon. With three valuable points on the line, this should be an entertaining encounter. Sunderland is hovering near the relegation zone and Bolton not far from it. A handful of points separate each outfit from the danger zone so these three points are crucial for survival.
Portsmouth are after a victory at the weekend beating Burnley on the away 2:1. The win was only their fifth win on the season, second on the road. That they did it against a side that enjoys solid form at home should not be taken lightly.
