| Dortmund vs Real Madrid - Champions League FinalMadrid will be looking to complete a La Liga and Champions League double and will arrive at Wembley having lost just two of their 53 competitive matches this season. But which team do I think will win, and what are the best betting sites in Ireland saying? |
| Real Madrid v Bayern PredictionVinicius Junior’s late penalty at the Allianz Arena has given Real a huge edge in the tie, especially given their imperious home record. They’re certainly the favourites to win in 90 minutes and qualify for the final, as they continue their quest for a record-extending 15th Champions League crown. |
| PSG vs Borussia Dortmund PredictionDespite facing a slender first leg deficit, PSG are the favourites to win the second leg and the tie overall. This is a testament to the individual and collective quality that they possess, although Dortmund are a competitive and relentless team that won’t give up their advantage easily. This should make for a thrilling second leg and one that could well go to extra-time and penalties. |
| Dortmund v PSG PredictionThis is a difficult match to call, although PSG are the favourites to win in Dortmund and triumph in the tie overall. I certainly expect them to dominate both the ball and territory at the Westfalenstadion and although Dortmund will be combative and dangerous on the break, I’m tipping PSG to carve out a slender lead ahead of the second leg. |
| Bayern v Real MadridWhile Bayern will kick off the first leg of their semi-final clash with Real Madrid as the narrow favourites to win at the Allianz Arena, Los Blancos are tipped to qualify from the tie overall. There’s certainly little to choose between these two continental giants, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see this match end in a tight score draw. |
| Man City vs Real Madrid - UCL 2024City are the heavy betting favourites to both win the second leg and qualify for the UCL semi-finals, but Madrid’s quality and pedigree in this competition earmarks them as a serious threat. While I expect them to score at the Etihad, however, I think City will prove too strong on their own patch and ultimately prevail. |
| Bayern vs ArsenalThis tie is evenly poised after a thrilling 2-2 draw in the first leg, during which both teams had periods in the ascendency. However, Bayern haven’t lost at home for more than years in the Champions League, while their pedigree and experience in this competition could prove decisive at the Allianz Arena. |
| Dortmund vs Atletico MadridWhile Atletico are the clear favourites to qualify for the last four after their first leg win, the odds imply a higher probability of Dortmund prevailing in 90 minutes at the Westfalenstadion. However, Atletico are seasoned UCL campaigners and remain one of the competition’s most efficient attacking teams, so I’m tipping them to win here and edge the tie. |
| Barcelona vs PSGBarcelona are the favourites to win the second leg and qualify for the UCL semi-finals, but they’ll face a motivated and competitive PSG team at the Nou Camp. Kylian Mbappe also remains a huge goal threat for the Parisians, but while I expect Luis Enrique’s team to score in Spain, I think the Catalan giants will emerge victorious on the night. |
| PSG vs BarcelonaPSG are the bookmakers’ favourites to defeat Barcelona at the Parc des Princes, but this match is likely to be closer and more keenly contested than the odds suggest. Neither side will want to find themselves significantly disadvantaged ahead of the second leg either, so the smart money may be on a score draw here. |
| Atletico Madrid vs Borussia DortmundAtletico are the clear favourites to defeat Dortmund and achieve a crucial first-leg lead in Madrid, but the Bundesliga outfit have been extremely strong defensively in their 2023/24 UCL campaign. So, this should be a tight and evenly contested match in which both teams score and push each other all the way. |
| Real Madrid vs Man CityMan City are the narrow betting favourite to defeat Madrid in the Santiago Bernabeu in this quarterfinal, first-leg clash, despite Los Blancos being unbeaten at home in nearly a year. City hasn’t been at their best defensively this season, however, so they may have to overcome a first-leg deficit if they’re to reach the last four. |
| Arsenal v Bayern PredictionThis is a true heavyweight clash between two superb teams, but there’s no doubt that Arsenal are in better form at the time of writing. They’re also Europe’s most efficient team in front of goal, and while Bayern will expect Arsenal nemesis Harry Kane to find the net at the Emirates, the Gunners are my favourites to edge the first leg. |
| Atletico Madrid vs Inter MilanDespite Atletico’s excellent home form this season, they’ve won just two of their last eight games and were well beaten at the San Siro in the first leg. So, although I expect the return match to be more competitive and Diego Simeone’s men to push Inter all the way, the Serie A team should have too much for their opponents. |
| Borussia Dortmund v PSV EindhovenThis close and even tie is fascinatingly poised after the first leg, with the two teams tied at one apiece. However, Dortmund haven’t lost a home Champions League game in more than two years, while their superior experience, quality and transition means they should have enough to overcome an in-form PSV. |
| Barcelona vs NapoliThis tie is evenly poised after the first leg, although Barcelona will think that playing at home will afford them a crucial advantage in the return match. However, Napoli have Victor Osimhen back fit and firing and will push the Catalan side all the way in Spain. |
| Arsenal v FC PortoPorto will be buoyed by their surprise first leg win, and have something tangible to hold onto at the Emirates. However, Arsenal remain in superb form and are one of the most efficient attacking teams in the Champions League, and should have too much quality for the Portuguese side in the second leg. |
| Real Madrid vs RB LeipzigMadrid carved out a slender 1-0 lead during the first leg in Germany, but this tie remains evenly balanced ahead of the return fixture. Los Blancos will certainly have to be wary of Leipzig’s significant threat on the counterattack, but the likely return of Jude Bellingham from injury could tip the match in favour of Madrid. |
| Man City v FC CopenhagenMan City are the heavy betting favourites to defeat Copenhagen in their second-leg clash and record a comfortable aggregate win, and it’s hard to imagine any other outcome at the Etihad Stadium. Ultimately, this could be a high-scoring matchup and one in which the Danes will also provide a threat in transition. |
| Bayern Munich v LazioWhile Lazio maintain a slender 1-0 lead from the first leg, they continue to lack creativity and a consistent goal scoring threat. As for Bayern, they returned to winning ways with a dramatic 2-1 win over RB Leipzig last time out, and I expect them to have too much for Lazio at the Allianz Arena. |
| Real Sociedad vs PSGWhile PSG hold a 2-0 lead from the first leg and are overwhelming favourites to qualify for the UCL last eight, the second leg in San Sebastian is far tougher to call. In truth, this could be a tight encounter in which PSG look to control possession, and there may well be value in backing the draw here. |
| Napoli vs BarcelonaNapoli are going to take on Barcelona in Naples on the 21st of February, and this is who I think will end up going on to win: |
| Porto vs ArsenalPorto will take on Arsenal on the 21st of February in the Champions League, and this is who I believe will go on and win: |
| PSV vs Borussia DortmundPSV will welcome Borussia Dortmund to the Philips Stadion on the 20th of February, and this is who I think will go on and win this match: |
| Inter vs Atletico MadridInter will welcome Atletico Madrid to the San Siro on the 20th of February, and here are my views on who I think will win: |
| Lazio v Bayern MunichBayern are clear favourites to defeat Lazio in the first leg of this UCL round of 16 tie, especially given the Eagles struggles in front of goal. But will the Bavarians prevail here, or can Lazio take a potentially crucial lead to Germany for the second leg? |
| PSG vs Real SociedadPSG are the clear favourites to defeat Real Sociedad in this round of 16 first leg tie, but the Spanish side remain technically proficient and tough to beat. So, will Luis Enrique’s men deliver on their status as favourites at the Parc des Princes? |
| RB Leipzig v Real MadridThe Champions League knockout stage returns in earnest next week, with Real Madrid travelling to Germany to take on RB Leipzig. Madrid will arrive having lost two of their previous 28 matches, whereas the Bundesliga side have struggled for form in recent weeks. While Madrid may have the edge here, this should be a keenly contested and close match. |
| Copenhagen v Man CityCity are overwhelming favourites to defeat Copenhagen in the first leg of this round of 16 tie. But will they deliver on this status, or can the Danes stun the defending European champions at the Parken Stadium? |
| Galatasaray vs Bayern PredictionAfter their famous 3-2 win at Old Trafford in gameweek two and first ever triumph on English soil, Galatasaray will be full of confidence when they entertain Bayern Munich at a usually thunderous Rams Park. In this comprehensive football betting guide, I’ll look at the latest Galatasaray vs Bayern odds while making a prediction about who will win. |

| Benfica vs Inter PredictionThe UEFA Champions League clash between Benfica and Inter is scheduled to take place at the iconic Estádio da Luz on Tuesday, April 11th.

| Real Madrid vs Chelsea PredictionDefending UCL champions Real Madrid will continue their quest for a 15th Champions League title on April 12th, when they host Chelsea at the Santiago Bernabéu in the first leg of this quarterfinal tie. Can they stun Madrid in their own back yard and take a crucial lead into the second leg, or will Los Blancos beat their rivals and put one foot in the Champions League quarterfinals? |
| Milan vs Napoli PredictionNapoli have emerged as the second favourites for the 2022/23 Champions League with a quarterfinal tie against Milan providing the prelude to a potential semi-final clash with Inter or Benfica should they prevail. With these points in mind, Napoli will undoubtedly kick off the UCL quarterfinal as favourites but seven-time Champions League winners Milan are more than capable of upsetting the odds and reaching their first semi-final since last winning the tournament in 2007. |
| Inter vs Benfica PredictionCan Inter build on this foundation and reach the UCL semis, or will Benfica overturn what looks to be a mountainous two-goal deficit at the San Siro? I’ll make my own Inter vs Benfica quarters prediction while taking a sneak peek at the very latest odds and prices. |

| Napoli vs Milan PredictionOf all the 2022/23 UEFA Champions League quarterfinals, the Napoli vs AC Milan tie is arguably most evenly poised. The two sides will contest the second leg at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Read our prediction for the winner. |
| Real Madrid vs Man City PredictionThe 2022/23 UEFA Champions League is now down to the final four, which includes 14-time winners and defending champions Real Madrid and Manchester City (who will continue their search for a maiden UCL title). Can Haaland fire the Citizens to a win in Spain, or will Madrid leverage their experience and expertise to take a crucial lead into the second leg? |
| Milan vs Inter PredictionWednesday 10th May will see the first leg of the second UCL semi-final take place at the San Siro Stadium, as AC Milan entertain bitter city rivals Inter in an enthralling knockout clash. Milan retains a particularly special affinity with the tournament, of course, having won it seven times in their illustrious history. But will they take another step towards their eighth UCL crown in the first leg at the San Siro, or can Inter beat their rivals for the third time this season? |
| Inter vs Milan PredictionAC Milan face an uphill challenge if they’re to continue their pursuit of an eighth Champions League crown, although an early goal for the Rossoneri at the San Siro could change the atmosphere and the nature of the tie significantly. Here's my Inter vs AC Milan preview! |
| Man City vs Real Madrid PredictionA great deal rides on the match at the Etihad Stadium, on Wednesday 17th, which will either see the home team progress to just their second Champions League final or Los Blancos reach the tournament’s showpiece match for the 18th time. Here's my prediction! |
| Man City vs Inter PredictionAfter 124 games and 371 tournament goals, the 2022/23 UEFA Champions League will draw to a thrilling conclusion on June 10th at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Turkey. Will City justify their status as favourites or can Inter upset the odds and equal Ajax’s tally of four UCL titles? |
| Manchester United v Copenhagen PredictionManchester United have endured a terrible start to their 2023/24 Champions League campaign, slipping to chaotic defeats against Bayern Munich and at home to Galatasaray. Copenhagen have scarcely fared any better so far, following up a draw at Galatasaray with a 2-1 loss to ... |
| Sevilla v Arsenal PredictionThe Gunners look more secure defensively since the summer signing of Declan Rice, but which team is my pick to win in Southern Spain? Read on to learn more and check out the matches ante post football betting markets. |
| Braga vs Real Madrid PredictionBraga came through two qualifying rounds to reach the group stages of the Champions League, after earning a third-place finish in the Primeira Liga in 2022/23. However, Madrid remain omnipotent in the and currently top La Liga too, so remain the overwhelming favourites to win in Portugal. Here’s my detailed Braga vs Madrid football betting guide and personal take on who will win! |
| Lens vs PSV PredictionThis is a tight match and one that’s tough to call, especially with Lens now in the midst of a five-game unbeaten run after a tough start to the season. But will home advantage tell here, or can PSV record their first UCL win of the campaign? |
| Benfica vs Real Sociedad PredictionThis Champions League game between Benfica and Real Sociedad is incredibly tough to call, while Benfica need a win after losing their opening two Group D matches. Home advantage could prove key here, but can Benfica deliver on their status as narrow ante post favourites? |
| Berlin vs Napoli PredictionThis game couldn’t have come at a worse time for Union Berlin, who have lost their previous seven matches in all competitions and are completely devoid of confidence. But can they upset the odds and pull off a much-needed win against Napoli, or will the defending Serie A champions ultimately prevail? |
| Inter vs RB SalzburgWhile Inter are clear favourites to beat RB Salzburg at the San Siro, the Austrian side will be tenacious, competitive and should contribute to an entertaining game. So can Inter get over the line, or will Salzburg earn the win that takes them above Inter in UCL Group D? |
| Manchester City v BSC Young Boys Bern PredictionManchester City are the overwhelming favourites to win in Switzerland, especially having won their first two matches in Champions League Group G. However, Young Boys will be roared on a passionate home crowd and will be determined to at least be competitive against their more esteemed rivals. |
| Newcastle United v Borussia Dortmund PredictionNewcastle are the favourites to topple Dortmund at St. James Park, but the away side has a wealth of Champions League experience. So, can they leverage this to claim their first UCL win of 2023/24, or will home advantage help the Magpies to secure another famous victory? |
| Celtic v Atlético Madrid PredictionCeltic are always a tough proposition at home, but the side appears to lack the quality and efficiency to thrive at the highest level. The reverse is true for Atlético Madrid, who have been particularly ruthless in front of goal in this season’s Champions League and may have too much for their gameweek three opponents. |
| PSG vs AC MilanThis is a seminal match in Group F, with both sides ideally needing a win to steal a competitive advantage in the race for qualification. But will PSG make home advantage count, or can Milan leverage their defensive organisation and rapid counter attacks to steal what would be a surprise win? |
| Barcelona v Shakhtar Donetsk PredictionBarcelona have already taken charge of Group H, sitting top of the pile with six points and a 100% record after two games. As for their gameweek three opponents Shakhtar, they were beaten 3-1 at home by Porto in their Group H opener, but a narrow, 3-2 victory at Antwerp saw them move third in the table and just three points off the top. But can they topple the mighty Barca on the road, or will Xavi’s men take a huge step towards the round of 16? |
| Feyenoord v Lazio PredictionFeyenoord have impressed both at home and abroad this season, while they’ve only lost three of their previous 32 home games since the beginning of last season. However, Lazio are unbeaten in this season’s UCL and even managed to earn a point against Atletico Madrid during gameweek one, so they’re sure to be competitive at De Kuip and will push their hosts all the way. |
| RB Leipzig v Red Star Belgrade PredictionLeipzig are deserved favourites to beat Red Star Belgrade in UCL gameweek three, while this game is almost guaranteed to deliver goals given each side’s attacking strengths and defensive vulnerabilities. But will Leipzig take a big stride towards the round of 16 here, or can Red Star claim their first Champions League win of the campaign and boost their own chances of progressing? |
| Royal Antwerp v FC Porto PredictionWhile Porto will head to Antwerp in superior form and with better quality players, the bookies appear to be hedging their bets slightly about which team will win at the Bosuilstadion. But will they assert themselves on their opponents and take another step towards the UCL round of 16, or can Antwerp deliver a much-needed win in front of their home fans? |
| Arsenal v SevillaArsenal can potentially qualify for the UCL round of 16 with a win over Sevilla in gameweek four, while a defeat for Sevilla could also eliminate them form contention in 2023/24. But will the Gunners deliver on their status as favourites, or can Sevilla earn a much needed and surprise victory? |
| Copenhagen vs Manchester UnitedMan United will be desperate to win in Denmark, as this will put qualification for the round of 16 in their own hands (presuming that Galatasaray also lose to Bayern in Germany). A defeat for Copenhagen could also see them eliminated if Galatasaray win, but can they secure a famous win at the Parken Stadium? |
| Manchester City v BSC Young Boys BernManchester City are odds-on favourites to defeat Young Boys again at the Etihad, while three points would be enough to see them qualify for the round of 16. As for Young Boys, they may well need a win to maintain any chance of progressing, but can they spring the mother of all UCL surprises here? |
| Borussia Dortmund v Newcastle UnitedThere’s no real favourite to prevail here, but a win for either of these sides will put them in pole position to qualify from Group F in the 2023/24 Champions League. But can Newcastle continue their good run of form and avenge their defeat to Dortmund two weeks ago, or will the Germans complete a potentially decisive double over Eddie Howe’s men? |
| Atlético Madrid v CelticThis is a must-win game for Celtic, who could face elimination from the UEFA Champions League if they lose in Spain. As for Atletico, a win here would put them on the cusp of qualification for the round of 16, but which side will win this high stakes game and potentially extend their journey in the competition? |
| AC Milan v Paris Saint-GermainGroup F is this year’s so-called “group of death”, but PSG can take a giant stride towards qualification for the round of 16 with a win here. But can they secure this in the San Siro, or will Milan rediscover their best form and secure a crucial three points in their own quest to keep their Champions League journey alive? |
| Shakhtar Donetsk v BarcelonaBarca are the overwhelming favourites to win here and secure the double over Shakhtar, but they only just got over the line during their 2-1 win over the same opponents at the Nou Camp. So, this will be a tight and competitive game, and the hosts will be confident of springing a surprise and earning a much-needed UCL win! |
| Lazio v FeyenoordWhile Feyenoord have won 10 of their previous 12 matches and moved top of UCL Group E, both defeats in this run have come on the road. Similarly, Lazio are unbeaten in their last five games at home and really need a win at what should be a packed Stadio Olimpico, but which of these sides is most likely to prevail in the Italian capital? |
| FC Porto v Royal AntwerpPorto can take a huge stride towards the UCL round of 16 by defeating Antwerp and doing the double over their Group H rivals. However, Antwerp are pointless and really need a win to keep their own hopes alive, but can they earn 3 points in the imposing Estádio do Dragão? |
| Red Star Belgrade vs RB LeipzigLeipzig can qualify for a round of 16 place with two games to spare if they win here, while they’ll also need Manchester City to beat Young Boys to seal the deal in gameweek four. Defeat could also eliminate an entertaining and enterprising Red Star Belgrade, so the hosts are sure to be determined in front of an impassioned home crowd. |
| Napoli v 1. FC Union BerlinUnion Berlin have now lost 12 successive games, as their European dream continues to turn into a nightmare. This run includes a 1-0 home defeat to Napoli too, but will the Neapolitans do the double here or can Union Berlin finally snap their losing streak and keep their slim hopes of UCL qualification alive? |
| Bayern Munich v GalatasarayBayern already have one foot in the UCL round of 16, and a win here would secure their place in the knockout stages and top spot in Group A. As for Gala, a victory would put them in control of their own destiny and make them favourites to qualify ahead of Manchester United, but can they really prevail in Munich? |
| PSV Eindhoven v LensBoth PSV and Lens are in superb form, with the hosts having lost one of 19 games this season and the away side now unbeaten in nine. Interestingly, a win for Lens would put them in pole position to qualify for the UCL round of 16, while PSV ideally need a victory to keep their own chances of progressing alive! |
| Real Madrid v SC BragaReal Madrid are the overwhelming favourites to win here, while three points would also secure their safe and early passage into the knockout stages. As for Braga, they need a win to keep their own hopes of qualification alive, but to achieve this, they’ll have to produce the greatest ever night in their short European history! |
| Real Sociedad v Benfica PredictionBenfica are in dire need of a win at the Reale Arena, while three points for Sociedad could secure qualification to the round of 16. They’re certainly the favourites to beat an Eagles side that has yet to score in this season’s Champions League, but can Benfica tap into their excellent domestic form to upset the odds here? |
| Red Bull Salzburg v Inter MilanInter are in a rich vein form and have significant know-how in this competition, having lost three of their previous 16 UCL games and reached last year’s final. However, RB Salzburg need a win to keep their slim hopes of qualification alive, but can they deliver in front of a partisan home crowd at the Stadion Wals-Siezenheim? |
| Man City v RB LeipzigBoth of these teams have already qualified for the UCL knockout stages, although top spot in Group G remains up for grabs. Of course, City are the obvious favourites to win and extend their unbeaten Champions League run to 18 matches, but Leipzig retain a significant goal threat and should score at the Etihad. |
| AC Milan v Borussia DortmundJust three points separate the four teams in UCL Group F, and a win for Dortmund in Milan will secure their place in the round of 16. However, Milan beat PSG at the San Siro last time out and will be looking to repeat this success here, and I’m tipping them to edge and tight and nervy game! |
| PSG v Newcastle UnitedNewcastle’s Champions League hopes are on a knife edge as they visit PSG, with defeat enough to eliminate them from the competition. Eddie Howe’s side is also significantly depleted amid a raft of injuries and suspensions, and it’s hard to look beyond a comfortable win for Luis Enrique’s side. |
| Barcelona v FC PortoBarcelona are the odds-on favourites to beat Porto at the Nou Camp, but the reverse fixture in Portugal was incredibly tight and only settled by the odd goal. Both sides are also looking to secure qualification for the round of 16, so I expect another nervy encounter that Barcelona ultimately edge! |
| Feyenoord v Atletico MadridAtletico Madrid can qualify for the round of 16 with a win at De Kuip, while hosts Feyenoord could be eliminated if they lose and Lazio also beat Celtic. While they’re sure to take the game to Atletico from the off, the away side’s experience and defensive organisation may ultimately prove decisive in Rotterdam. |
| Lazio v CelticCeltic are on the brink of Champions League elimination, while the side hasn’t won away in the UCL proper since September 2017. As for Lazio, they have the carrot of qualification for the round of 16 dangling over them, so I expect them to attack their opponents from the off and ultimately achieve a comfortable win. |
| Galatasaray v Man UnitedMan United will be drinking in the last chance saloon when they visit Turkey, as defeat will eliminate from the 2023/24 Champions League. However, they could be without nine first team players against Galatasaray, while their opponents are at full strength and will fancy their chances of beating the Red Devils again in front of their own fans. |
| Shakhtar Donetsk v Royal AntwerpRoyal Antwerp have already been eliminated from UCL Group H, while they need to win by at least two goals in Hamburg to have any chance of claiming a Europa League spot. As for the Ukrainian side, a win will keep their chances of qualification for the round of 16 alive, and they should have too much for their Belgian opponents in Germany. |
| BSC Young Boys Bern v Red Star BelgradeYoung Boys and Red Star have already been eliminated from the Champions League, but a win for either team here would see them edge the H2H between the two sides and book a place in the Europa League. While Young Boys are narrow favourites to prevail, Red Star possess a significant attacking threat and a fully fit squad to choose from in Switzerland. |
| Arsenal v RC LensArsenal only need a point against Lens to qualify for the round of 16, while a win will see them top Group B. As for Lens, a defeat could leave them fighting for a Europa League place if PSV also beat Sevilla, and they’ll certainly have their work cut out to overcome an Arsenal side that’s incredibly strong at home. |
| Real Madrid v NapoliReal Madrid have already qualified for the UCL round of 16, while the only need a point against Napoli to top the group. The Serie A side are also in pole position to qualify, but a win in Spain would guarantee a place in the knockout stages. Los Blancos also have several absentees through injury, but the return of Jude Bellingham could prove key in determining the final result. |
| Bayern Munich v FC CopenhagenBayern Munich will take on FC Copenhagen in the Champions League Group Stage on the 29th of November, and this is who I think will come out on top: |
| Benfica v Inter MilanBenfica will take on Inter in the Champions League Group Stage on the 29th of November, and this is who I think will win: |
| Sevilla v PSVSevilla are drinking in the last chance saloon in the UCL, and they’ll need to beat PSV at home to retain a realistic chance of qualifying for the round of 16. While a win will ensure that their fate remains in their own hands, they’ll have to contend with poor home form and a rampant PSV side if they’re to earn three much-needed points. |
| SC Braga v Union BerlinUnion Berlin are winless in 14 games since August 26 and already out of Champions League contention, but they have a new head coach and will want to keep their Europa League qualification hopes alive in Portugal. However, Braga are in decent form and retain an outside chance of reaching the UCL round of 16, while they retain a huge goal threat in winger Bruma. |
| Real Sociedad v RB SalzburgReal Sociedad have already qualified for the UCL round of 16, while RB Salzburg only remains in contention for a Europa League spot. However, it’s hard to imagine an away win here, with Sociedad having lost just one of nine home matches in 2023/24 (to Barcelona) and the Austrian side struggling with a number of injuries. |
| PSV v ArsenalBoth PSV and Arsenal have already booked their place in the Champions League round of 16, while the Gunners have secured first in Group B. So, this should be an open and entertaining game between two in-form sides, and I expect home advantage to prove key in determining the final result. |
| Man United v Bayern MunichBayern are already home and hosed in UCL Group A, having taken 13 points from five games and beaten United 4-3 at the Allianz Arena in gameweek one. However, this is a must-win game for the Red Devils if they’re to have any chance of reaching the round of 16, and this pressing need may prove crucial in determining the final result. |
| Inter Milan vs Real SociedadThis match will determine which side finishes top of UCL Group D, with Inter and Real Sociedad currently tied on 11 points each. While these teams are also evenly matched and defensively well organised, Inter are a formidable outfit at home and retain exceptional pedigree in the Champions League. |
| FC Copenhagen v GalatasarayThis is a winner-takes-all clash at the Parken Stadium, as a victory for either side will fire them into the Champions League round of 16. Intriguingly, a draw is the only result that could see both sides eliminated (if Man United also beat Bayern at Old Trafford), but this is a strong probability given evenly matched the teams are. |
| RB Salzburg v BenficaBoth sides have already been eliminated from the UEFA Champions League, but remain in contention for a Europa League spot. A draw will secure this objective for RB Salzburg, while Benfica need to win by at least two clear goals to move above their Group D rivals. While this may prove beyond the Eagles, I do fancy Benfica to end their UCL campaign with a narrow win. |
| Union Berlin v Real MadridReal Madrid have already topped Group C and have a 100% record, so they’re likely to rest players for the visit to Berlin. As for their hosts, they retain an outside chance of qualifying for the UEFA Europa League, while their recent uptick form may help them to secure an unexpected victory here. |
| Napoli vs SC BragaNapoli have one foot in the UCL round of 16, holding a three point lead over Braga and an advantage in the two sides’ head-to-head after a 2-1 win in Portugal in September. They only need to avoid a two-goal defeat to progress, but I expect them to make a statement here and qualify with something to spare after a tough group campaign. |
| RC Lens v SevillaThis match will see both teams do battle for a place in the Europa League, but Lens hold a three point advantage and a single point will see them finish third in Group B. While a win of any type will see Sevilla progress to a tournament that they often excel in, I’m expect the home side to edge a tight and potentially low scoring game against their injury-hit opponents. |
| Borussia Dortmund vs PSGOn Wednesday the 13th of December, Dortmund will take on PSG in a big match in the Champions League. This is who I think will go on to win: |
| Newcastle United vs AC MilanOn Wednesday the 13th of December, Newcastle will take on AC Milan in a huge match in the Champions League. This is who I think will go on to win: |
| RB Leipzig v BSC Young BoysRB Leipzig have already secured second place in Group G and a spot in the round of 16, while Young Boys are assured of their place in the Europa League for the second half of the season. This game may be a bridge too far for the Swiss side, with Leipzig purposeful at home and blessed with several in-form attackers! |
| FC Porto vs Shakhtar DonetskPorto will take on Shakhtar in the Champions League on the 13th of December, and this is who I think will come out on top: |
| Atletico Madrid v LazioBoth of these sides have already qualified for the UCL round of 16, but a win for Atletico Madrid or Lazio in Spain will determine who tops Group E. This could be crucial to securing a more comfortable draw in the second round, but Atletico are formidable at home and will come up against a Lazio side without the first choice centre backs. |
| Celtic vs FeyenoordCeltic and Feyenoord will play their final Champions League game on Wednesday the 13th December, and this is who I think will come out on top. |
| Red Star Belgrade v Manchester CityThis is the ultimate Champions League dead rubber, with City having qualified for the round of 16 (and topped Group G) and Red Star having being eliminated. However, Guardiola will be keen to see his side return to some kind of form, so I’m tipping them to win and complete a clean sweep of their group games. |
| Antwerp vs Barcelona PredictionAntwerp and Barcelona will play their final Champions League game on Wednesday the 13th December, and this is who I think will come win: |
