Barcelona and Chelsea were the early-season favourites to win the 2007 Champions League but instead it's 2005 finalists Liverpool and Milan who will contest the final on Wednesday evening.
Rafa Benitez's men have been matched at 38.00 on betfair to repeat their success of two seasons ago when they beat the Italian team on penalties. This huge price is likely to have been taken when they trailed 1-0 to Barcelona in their last 16 first leg tie before winning the tie on away goals.
As they were against Barca and Chelsea, Liverpool are firm underdogs at 3.45 (Expekt) to beat Milan in 90 minutes. Indeed, there's tasty prices available about all three outcomes, with the bookmakers fighting it out to offer best price for such a popular betting contest. Milan are available at 2.40 (Paddy Power) to score revenge for their 2005 defeat, while the Draw is attractively priced at 3.10 (Premierbet).
Indeed, the draw could be a profitable wager, especially with Liverpool looking to keep things considerably tighter than they did in Istanbul. They'll also be wary of a Milan team who found the net five times in two legs against Man United. However, there's still bound to be a few takers of the 81.00 (bet365) about another 3-3 draw by the final whistle.
Nevertheless, the 0-0 remains a distinct possibility, especially with many finals of recent memory being cagey affairs. If you're having a bet on this scoreline, remember to back No Goalscorer (7.50 with Paddy Power) in the First Goalscorer market, rather than the 0-0 Correct Score. That way, you'll profit if an own goal is the only goal of the match.
