The last remaining underdog in the Champions League, Monaco are the neutral's choice to overcome Juventus and reach a fairytale final.
It is true that the young and free-spirited Ligue 1 leaders play an exhilarating brand of football and have absolutely reached the fourth semi-final in the competition in the club's history on merit, having defeated Tottenham, Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund convincingly.
However, punters with an experienced eye well sense that their dream run to the last four could end here with opponents in the shape of Juventus, with the wily old dogs of the Serie A champions familiar with dealing with such hurdles.
It is therefore that the Turin giants are viewed as favourites indicating a short price on them to win, but Betfair have come up with an 8/1 (9.0) offer for an away win for new customers to make the pick far more worthwhile.

Last 5/4 (2.25) to beat Monaco, favourites Juventus have been boosted to 8/1 (9.0) for new Betfair customers. The Serie A champions are out to reach their sixth final from their last seven semis and are aware that they can take giant steps with a win at Stade Louis II, all but killing hopes of an upset ahead of the return leg in Turin.
Plenty has been made of the ways in which Monaco’s effervescent attack of Kylian Mbappe and Radamel Falcao can do against Juventus, glossing over the damage the visitors are capable of inflicting in turn.
Getty ImagesThe fact the Ligue 1 leaders have conceded a high of 16 goals amongst the remaining contestants in the Champions League this term means that Paulo Dybala, who has notched four goals in five knockout games in the tournament, and Gonzalo Higuain will relish their chances of striking.
The latter is out to enhance his poorer record in the knockout rounds comparative to his group stage scoring rate and a young Monaco outfit cannot betray any vulnerabilities because a striker of his calibre will surely pounce.
Higuain, supported solid spine through the team and an impregnable defence that has conceded just two goals - none from open play - in 10 games, means a vastly experienced Juventus will surely not miss their chance to take a massive step towards another Champions League final, making odds of 8/1 (9.0) the best way new Betfair customers can back Allegri’s men to progress.
Goal| Juventus 8/1 (9.0) to win for new Betfair customers |
