Man City vs RB Leipzig prediction: Blues hard to oppose at home
Man City will be a little wary of RB Leipzig but should be strong enough to book a place in the last eight of the Champions League. The Blues have been tested a couple of times in Germany, but prevailed 6-3 when these teams met at Etihad Stadium during last season’s group stage.
Porto vs Inter Milan prediction: Nerazzurri to hold onto lead
Inter Milan will take a 1-0 lead to Porto following a hard-fought first leg of this finely-balanced Champions League tie at the San Siro. The Dragons can take heart from having knocked out Roma and Juventus at this stage in recent years, but we feel the Nerazzurri have the nous to qualify.
Bayern Munich vs PSG prediction: Visitors value with Mbappe back
PSG are up against it when travelling to Bayern Munich in the Champions League after going down 1-0 in the first leg in France. However, they looked a different team once Kylian Mbappe came off the bench that night and we reckon this tie is far from over.
Tottenham vs AC Milan prediction: Spurs to hit back in London
Tottenham will be hoping to make home advantage count when trying to turn things around against AC Milan in the Champions League. The Rossoneri were the better team in a 1-0 win at the San Siro but Stefano Pioli’s have been known to suffer from travel sickness.
Chelsea vs Borussia Dortmund prediction: Blues to come good
Chelsea were beaten 1-0 by Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of their Champions League clash but will have taken plenty of positives from that game. The Blues created a number of good chances at Signal Iduna Park and had eight attempts on target, compared to just two for their hosts.
Benfica vs Club Brugge prediction: Eagles to soar again
Benfica look in total control of their Champions League tie with Club Brugge after returning from the first leg in Belgium with a 2-0 lead. The Eagles have a great home record this term and can now afford to take their time and play percentage football at Estadio da Luz.

Chelsea vs Dinamo Zagreb prediction, betting tips & odds
Chelsea are already through to the Champions League knockout phase and only need a point against Dinamo Zagreb to wrap up top spot in Group E. However, the Blues should be determined to exorcise the demons of Saturday’s Premier League loss at Brighton and put on a show.
Real Madrid vs Celtic prediction, betting tips & odds
Real Madrid still need to beat Celtic at the Bernabeu to clinch top spot in Champions League Group F and will be hoping to avoid any dramas. Los Merengues are showing signs of wear and tear following a tough schedule, plus their home pitch has been in better shape.
Liverpool vs Napoli prediction, betting tips & odds
Liverpool are safely through to the knockout rounds of the Champions League but have only a slim chance of pipping Napoli to top spot in Group A. The Reds would need to win by four clear goals, but they will be keen to bounce back from Saturday’s shock loss to Leeds here.
Marseille vs Tottenham prediction, betting tips & odds
Tottenham know a point against Marseille will see them qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League. Harry Kane thought he had fired Spurs into the knockout stage in their last outing against Sporting Lisbon, but his last-gasp goal to make it 2-1 was ruled out by VAR.
Rangers vs Ajax prediction, betting tips & odds
Rangers need a point in their final Champions League group game against Ajax to avoid a piece of unwanted history. Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side have lost all five matches with a goal difference of -18, putting them in danger of posting the worst ever group-stage record.
Ajax vs Liverpool prediction, betting tips & odds
Liverpool will be looking for a response when they travel to Ajax on Wednesday night. The Reds’ mini revival came crashing to a halt on Saturday with a defeat at struggling Nottingham Forest, while Ajax have restored some confidence in their last two outings.
