Milan Favourites for Revenge Over Reds

Despite losing the 2005 final to Liverpool in dramatic fashion, Milan are 1.80 (Paddy Power) favourites to gain revenge over the Reds by triumphing in Athens when the two teams meet again.

It is easy to see why the Italian team have been well-backed up to now, such was their dominance over Premiership champions Man United in their semi-final clash, where they won 6-2 on aggregate.

Liverpool will have their supporters at 2.10 (Eurobet) to repeat their success in Istanbul two years ago where they beat Milan on a penalty shoot-out. They certainly looked good from the spot when beating Chelsea in the semi-finals and the Italians will be keen for the match to be settled in their favour before extra-time.

In 2005, the match was brilliant for In-Play betting, with Milan establishing a 3-0 lead by half-time, before the Reds came back to level the scores to 3-3 by the final whistle. If you think history can repeat itself, bet365 have priced up another 3-3 at 81.00.
