Barcelona have the best odds to win the UEFA Champions League heading into the second leg of the semi-finals, courtesy of their 3-0 win over Liverpool in the first leg last Wednesday.
Bet365 (h/t Oddschecker) has them at 4-9, ahead of Ajax (10-3), Tottenham Hotspur (10-1) and the Reds (18-1).
Liverpool will host Barcelona on Tuesday, looking for a comeback for the ages, while Ajax host Spurs a day later.
Both matches will start at 8 p.m. GMT/3 p.m. ET and will be available for viewing through BT Sport (UK) and B/R Live (U.S.).
Barcelona's status as Champions League favourites is no surprise, as the Catalan giants have everything working for them going into the second leg of the semi-finals.
They've already locked up the La Liga title, allowing Ernesto Valverde to rest a number of starters―most notably Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez―for Saturday's 2-0 loss against Celta Vigo.
The Barcelona boss has a remarkable domestic record:

As Barça manager, Valverde has lost just four league games in total out of 74. Two of those after already tying up the title.

Liverpool are still locked in a title fight with defending Premier League champions Manchester City. They could not afford too many rotations against Newcastle United on Saturday and needed some late heroics from Divock Origi to snatch all three points in a 3-2 win.
Manager Jurgen Klopp started Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah, with Roberto Firmino injured, and the Egyptian had to be substituted with a head injury:

Klopp announced on Monday that Salah suffered a concussion and won't be available to face the Blaugrana, and Firmino will also be absent.
The Reds would no doubt love to have their star forward, since they need to come back from a three-goal deficit. Messi found the net twice and Suarez also scored at the Camp Nou, while Liverpool failed to get a crucial away goal―Salah came closest when hitting the post.
A single Barcelona goal at Anfield would result in the hosts needing to score five.
In Amsterdam, Ajax will start as favourites to advance to the final after bagging a 1-0 win in London. With the away goal under their belt, they know Spurs will have to come forward and score themselves, opening things up for counter-attacks.
If Spurs' recent away form is any indication, they're in for a major challenge on Wednesday, per Statman Dave:

Ajax remain locked in a tight Eredivisie title battle with PSV but have still been able to rotate their squad a bit. Donny van de Beek got the only goal in the first leg in London.
Predictions: Barcelona finish the job at Anfield, while Ajax hold on to advance past Spurs. Liverpool 2-1 Barcelona, Ajax 1-1 Spurs
