Betting Market Breakdown

All the line movement has been toward Barcelona since opening three weeks ago, though it's been a slower shift rather than a flood of bets.

Odds on Manchester United and the draw have both worsened, particularly based on their somewhat-poor form in all competitions.

They've lost multiple games to Wolves by the same 2-1 scoreline, once in the Premier League and the other in the FA Cup.

Three out of every four wagers has come in on Barca to pick up the victory so public bettors have definitely picked a side to win the first leg. They have not lost since a 2-0 defeat to Sevilla in the Copa del Rey quarterfinal back in January.

Leo Messi will hope to continue his rampant scoring pace against English opposition. He has amassed 22 goals in 30 Champions League matches and is listed at +110 to net one on Wednesday. That's certainly a tempting bet when looking at the Manchester United defensive backline.

In the totals market, sharp bettors have made their stand despite nearly 80% of tickets on the over. The vast majority of money has pounded the under (2.5), causing sportsbooks to adjust the juice considerably.
