Champions League Round of 16 Predictions

—

Arsenal vs FC Porto – 0-1 on aggregate.

Arsenal ($1.25)

FC Porto ($16.00)

Draw ($6.50)

Premier League leaders Arsenal will be doing all they can to book their place in the last 8 of the Champions League, as they take on FC Porto.

The Gunners rode their luck in the first leg in Portugal and were made to pay with a late 90^th minute strike, giving them a serious mountain to climb back in London.

It has the potential to be a season to remember for Arsenal, who are the justified favourites for this one and whilst Porto will revel in their role of party poopers, the Gunners should get this one done at the Emirates.

Barcelona vs Napoli – 1-1 on aggregate.

Barcelona ($1.98)

Napoli ($4.20)

Draw ($3.80)

Following a pulsating draw in Naples last month, Barcelona and Napoli square off at the Nou Camp – with the tie locked at 1-1.

Both sides felt they had ample chances to win the game in Southern Italy and it is fitting that it should be decided over another game, as to who progresses to the last 8.

Barca have hit a bit of a wall in La Liga but reaching the last 8 of the Champions League is progress for Xavi’s side, who aren’t seen amongst the front runners for the title.

Napoli are struggling in Serie A and may find this one a tall order on the road in Catalunya, making Barcelona the strong favourites to progress.

Atletico Madrid vs Inter Milan – 0-1 on aggregate.

Atletico Madrid ($2.98)

Inter Milan ($2.51)

Draw ($3.40)

2023 runners-up Inter Milan have a precious 1-0 lead to protect, as they travel to the Spanish capital to take on Atletico Madrid.

Neither of these two sides are known for their expansive football and Atletico have been struggling domestically this term, with the Champions League being a welcome distraction.

Inter Milan meanwhile were good value for their 1-0 win at the San Siro last time out and they will believe they can get the job done here.

Goals could be at a premium here, with very little to split the sides and Inter Milan could progress with a draw on the road.

Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($3.40)

Borussia Dortmund vs PSV – 1-1 on aggregate.

Borussia Dortmund ($2.10)

PSV ($3.55)

Draw ($3.85)

Arguably the toughest fixture to call in the last 16 second legs here is Borussia Dortmund vs PSV, who played out a super encounter in Eindhoven last time out.

Dortmund are quite a way off the pace in the Bundesliga but the Champions League does present them with an opportunity to chase silverware this season.

Meanwhile, PSV are unbeaten in the Eredivisie this season and are romping to the title and that confidence has held them in good stead in the Champions League.

This will be a good one, between two very good sides but with home advantage, Dortmund should book their place in the last 8.

Betting tip: Borussia Dortmund to win the match ($2.10)
