UCL Predictions This Week - Round of 16 Second Leg
Sporting vs Bodø/Glimt
Bodø/Glimt have been one of the biggest surprises of this Champions League season. Many expected them to have a tough time against Sporting though, but they've yet again shocked the footballing world. The home fixture against Sporting is sure to be a tougher game than last week, but we feel that'll end up qualifying on aggregate.
Prediction: Sporting 3-2 Bodø/Glimt (Aggregate 3-5)
Chelsea vs PSG
PSG vs Chelsea was one of the most entertaining Champions League games last week, and it was also quite competitive, until Chelsea went full-on self-destruction mode in the very end. We believe they'll be another game full of goals, but Chelsea have no chance of qualifying against this PSG side.
Prediction: Chelsea 3-3 PSG (Aggregate 5-8)
Man City vs Real Madrid
Manchester City were seen as heavy favourites by many last week in their game against Real Madrid, as Los Blancos have been really underwhelming this whole season, but they once again activated their magical powers in the UCL and destroyed Pep Guardiola's side. A city comeback looks unlikely.
Prediction: Manchester City 2-2 Real Madrid (Aggregate 2-5)
Arsenal vs Leverkusen
Arsenal had a shocking performance against Leverkusen last week, and they were almost on the verge of defeat until a last-minute penalty goal was scored by Kai Havertz, who was a former Leverkusen player as well. We expect Mikel Arteta's men to have learned from their mistakes and have an easy win here.
Prediction: Arsenal 2-0 Leverkusen (Aggregate 3-1)
Tottenham vs Atlético Madrid
This has to be one of the easiest Champions League games to predict this week. Spurs are absolutely horrible at the moment, and Atlético Madrid should have an easy victory here.
Prediction: Spurs 0-2 Atlético Madrid (Aggregate 2-7)
Liverpool vs Galatasaray
Liverpool suffered a shock loss against Galatasaray last week. However, with the return leg at Anfield and the crowd sure to motivate the players, the Reds should make a comeback and win here quite comfortably.
Prediction: Liverpool 3-1 Galatasaray (Aggregate 3-2)
Bayern Munich vs Atalanta
You don't need to be a football expert to predict this one. The only major question will be how many goals Bayern Munich will end up scoring in this game, and we are going with 5 without reply.
Prediction: Bayern Munich 5-0 Atalanta (Aggregate 11-1)
