UEFA Champions League predictions for Matchday 8

Athletic Club vs Sporting

Athletic Club is struggling in La Liga right now, While Sporting are going strong in the league and also beat PSG last week after the heroics of Luis Suarez. We expect a Sporting win.


Prediction: Athletic Club 1-3 Sporting 


Liverpool vs Qarabag FK

Arne Slot's Liverpool side have been terrible this season, and a large section of the fanbase wants the Dutchman sacked as well. Nonetheless, we predict a Liverpool win.


Prediction: Liverpool 2-0 Qarabag FK 


Barcelona vs Copenhagen

Barcelona have been fantastic under Hansi Flick, and they are currently top of La Liga as well. The Blaugrana should earn 3 points in a game we feel will be full of goals.


Prediction: Barcelona 4-2 Copenhagen 


Monaco vs Juventus

Monaco have been quite underwhelming in the French league this season, while Juventus are coming from a huge 3-0 win over Napoli. The Bianconeri should have an easy win here.


Prediction: Monaco 0-2 Juventus 


Ajax vs Olympiacos

Both sides are doing well in their respective leagues, but we feel Olympiacos are in better form at the moment and should earn a victory here.


Prediction: Ajax 1-3 Olympiacos 


PSG vs Newcastle

This is one of the top UCL matches of the week between two state-owned superclubs. We believe this'll be a tight contest that ends in a draw between PSG and Newcastle.


Prediction: PSG 2-2 Newcastle 


Borussia Dortmund vs Inter Milan

Dortmund and Inter ended up losing against London clubs Tottenham and Arsenal respectively in the previous matchday. With the home advantage, we feel Dortmund will end up with a close victory.


Prediction: Borussia Dortmund 3-2 Inter Milan 


Napoli vs Chelsea

Antonio Conte will face the side he once lifted Premier League with, and we are expecting his side to beat Chelsea and the 3 points after a disappointing Serie A loss against Juventus.


Prediction: Napoli 2-1 Chelsea


Eintracht Frankfurt vs Tottenham Hotspur

Thomas Frank's Spurs are in horrible form at the moment, and the manager is in real danger of getting the sack. However, we believe the game against Frankfurt will extend Frank's time at the club.


Prediction: Eintracht Frankfurt 1-2 Tottenham Hotspur 


Atlético Madrid vs Bodo/Glimt

Bodo/Glimt shocked the world with their 3-1 win over Manchester City, and we now expect another shocker that'll see them stop Diego Simeone's side from winning.


Prediction: Atlético Madrid 1-1 Bodo/Glimt


Bayer Leverkusen vs Villareal

Villareal are in great form in La Liga right now, while Leverkusen are not quite convincing in the Bundesliga. The Spanish side should win here.


Prediction: Bayer Leverkusen 1-2 Villareal 


Arsenal vs Kairat

After their shocking 2-3 loss against Manchester United, we expect Mikel Arteta's side to make a huge comeback with a statement victory over Kairat.


Prediction: Arsenal 4-0 Kairat


Pafos vs Slavia Praha

We believe the game between Pafos and Slavia Praha will be a really tight one that ends with the points being shared.


Prediction: Pafos 1-1 Slavia Praha 


Manchester City vs Galatasaray

After their shocking 3-1 loss against Bodo/Glimt, we expect the UCL misery to continue for Pep Guardiola and Manchester City against Galatasaray 


Prediction: Manchester City 2-2 Galatasaray 


Club Brugge vs Marseille

We believe this'll be a fun game between 2 exciting teams that will be filled with goals, and one where Marseille ends up with the final laugh.


Prediction: Club Brugge 2-3 Marseille 


Benfica vs Real Madrid

Real Madrid have been brilliant in the Champions League so far, and Kylian Mbappe is on a record-breaking run. We feel there's no chance at all for Benfica.


Prediction: Benfica 1-4 Real Madrid 


Union Saint-Gilloise vs Atalanta

This will probably be yet another one of those close games with lots of close chances that eventually ends in a 1-1 stalemate.


Prediction: Union Saint-Gilloise 1-1 Atalanta 


PSV vs Bayern Munich

After their shocking 1-2 loss over Augsburg in the Bundesliga, we believe they will thrash PSV and remind everyone how good they really are.


Prediction: PSV 1-4 Bayern Munich
