talkSPORT betting tips – Best football bets and expert advice for Wednesday 30 April
What Wednesday’s coupon lacks in quantity it makes up for in quality with all eyes on Spain where Barcelona and Inter Milan meet in a titanic Champions League semi-final first leg. BET £10 GET £30 IN FREE BETS WITH TALKSPORT BET Wednesday football betting tips Bet of the day Barcelona & Over 1.5 Goals @ 9/10 Five-time Champions League winners Barcelona can put three-time champs Inter Milan in their place in the first leg of their semi-final at the Estadi Olimpic. Barca will take to the pitch fresh from their thrilling, fiery extra-time win over Real Madrid on Saturday night to lift the Copa del Rey. Inter, meanwhile, have flown into Spain on the back of a horrible 1-0 home loss to Roma in Serie A, a third straight defeat without finding the net and a result that leaves them three points adrift of Napoli at the top of the table. And it also leaves them vulnerable to what Raphinha and co can conjure up in front of their own fans. There is no denying Inter’s spirit and their ability to raise their game at the highest level, best demonstrated in their previous round success over Bayern Munich, winning 2-1 in Germany. Simone Inzaghi has this side supremely well drilled. But Barca are in immaculate nick having lost just once since Christmas, a 3-1 reverse at Dortmund in the last round though having beaten the Germans 4-0 at home a week earlier, the outcome of the tie was never seriously in doubt. They have won 22 of their last 28 matches inside 90 minutes and 16 of those victories have been in games featuring two goals or more.Inzaghi has a defensive tweak to make with Benjamin Pavard ruled out and Barca and over 1.5 goals at 9/10 looks the way to play this. Special of the day Blackpool vs Birmingham Over 12 Corners @ 21/10 There’s a nice beach in Blackpool but Steve Bruce is adamant he doesn’t want the town’s football team to be on it. With nothing tangible to play for, Blackpool could easily be excused having their holiday heads on but Bruce isn’t having it ahead of the visit of his former club and newly-crowned League One champions Birmingham. To that end, expect the Tangerines to try to apply the same pressure they did at Wigan on Saturday when they won 12 corners. Bruce is after a statement performance at the end of an ultimately frustrating season and their positivity can help the match corner count soar past the 12 mark. Long shot of the day Hakan Calhanoglu 3+ Shots @ 5/2 Back to Barcelona and Inter should go down swinging against a home side who do concede shots. Even in the 4-0 romp past Dortmund in the previous round, the Germans fired off 10 shots and Inter can at least match that. Indeed, they had 10 of their own at Bayern Munich in the last round. Three of those were from key midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu and the Turk also mustered three in the home tie. He is a danger and a player who can deliver a minimum of three shots at the Estadi Olimpic.

Barcelona & Over 1.5 Goals @ 9/10
Five-time Champions League winners Barcelona can put three-time champs Inter Milan in their place in the first leg of their semi-final at the Estadi Olimpic.
Barca will take to the pitch fresh from their thrilling, fiery extra-time win over Real Madrid on Saturday night to lift the Copa del Rey.
Inter, meanwhile, have flown into Spain on the back of a horrible 1-0 home loss to Roma in Serie A, a third straight defeat without finding the net and a result that leaves them three points adrift of Napoli at the top of the table.
And it also leaves them vulnerable to what Raphinha and co can conjure up in front of their own fans.
There is no denying Inter’s spirit and their ability to raise their game at the highest level, best demonstrated in their previous round success over Bayern Munich, winning 2-1 in Germany. Simone Inzaghi has this side supremely well drilled.
