Argentinian Mauricio Pochettino’s and Carlo Ancelotti’s will compete for a place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. The two teams, which command Ligue 1 and La Liga, respectively, face off more than two years after the last double confrontation in the group stage.
PSG are back from a 1-0 victory over Rennes, their fourth win in their last five official matches, while Real have not gone beyond 0-0 at Villarreal. It could have been a “special” match for Sergio Ramos, but the great ex will most likely be absent as well, and Neymar, Herrera, and Letellier should remain out.
Real Madrid also have some doubts about their formation, starting with the presence of Benzema in attack.
Form Guide
Paris Saint-Germain DWWDWW
Following their 1-0 Ligue 1 victory over Rennes, PSG will be hoping for a repeat performance.
Paris Saint-Germain had 65 percent of the possession and 9 shots on goal, but none were on target. Kylian Mbappé (90′) was the lone player to score for Paris Saint-Germain. Rennais had 13 shots on goal, but just one of them was on target.
As evidenced by their recent results, the Paris Saint-Germain backline deserves a lot of credit. Paris Saint-Germain have been ruthless at the back, allowing two goals to sneak past their goalkeeper in their last six games.
Real Madrid WWDLWD
Real Madrid had previously drawn 0-0 with Villarreal in a La Liga match.
In the match, Real Madrid had 57 percent possession and 17 shots on goal, six of which were on target. Villarreal had nine shots on goal, two of which were on target.
Real Madrid’s defense has put in a string of solid performances, conceding only four goals in their last six matches. During the same time frame, they have scored seven goals.
Injured and suspended
Paris Saint-Germain: (Neymar, Edouard Michut, Sergio Ramos and Alexandre Letellier)

PSG vs Real Madrid Predicted XI
Paris Saint-Germain Predicted XI: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Kimpembe, Mendes; Verratti, Gueye, Wijnaldum; Messi, Mbappe, Di Maria
Real Madrid Predicted XI: Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Mendy; Modric, Casemiro, Kroos; Asensio, Benzema, Vinicius
Prediction
If it were to be without Benzema, Real could lack an important reference in attack. PSG are favorites at home, and in view of the delicate return to the Bernabeu, we want to focus on Messi and his teammates while keeping the door open to surprises.
We think that it’s going to be a narrow 2-1 win for Paris Saint-Germain after 90 minutes. It is definitely a tough call.
Nine years after their last meeting, Sporting CP and Manchester City will meet again on a football field. The first leg will be played at the Estadio José Alvalade with the Lusitanians of coach Ruben Amorin, who arrive undefeated from 5 games in a row between championships and cups, even if, after 4 victories in a row, they failed to finalize the 0-2 on the field of leaders Porto in the last championship, with a final result of 2-2, possibly frustrating the title race once and for all.
Pep Guardiola’s Citizens, on the other hand, are unbeaten in 12 consecutive games in all competitions and 11 of these have been victories, the last of which was on the field of Norwich City, 4-0. More and more players are launching themselves towards the Premier League trophy, chasing the Champions League, which they lost in the final last year.

Prediction
Manchester City are favorites in the first leg against Sporting, and Guardiola’s team will already try to mortgage the passage of the round against a weak rival. The combo we like is the 2 + Over 2.5 combo.
Our tip is for a narrow 1-2 win for Manchester City at full-time.
After having already conquered Meazza once this season by beating AC Milan 2-1, Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool will try again in the Champions League round of 16, this time facing Simone Inzaghi’s Inter. The two teams faced each other in the second round of the Champions League in 2008, and on that occasion, the Reds won both at home and away without conceding a goal.
The Nerazzurri are returning from a challenging 1-1 but have resisted the assault of a rival for the title and this has given morale anyway. Inzaghi will not be able to count on the suspended Barella and will also have to deal with the physical problems of Bastoni, Gosens, Vecino, and Correa.
In Liverpool, however, there is only Origi to be evaluated, but the team is going through a good phase of the season.

Liverpool Predicted XI: Becker, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, van Dijk, Robertson, Alcantara, Henderson, Fabinho, Salah, Jota, Mane
Prediction
The top English teams have always given the idea of having another step in Europe compared to the Italians, and Liverpool is no exception: they have already beaten Milan twice this season and are favorites with Inter. To evaluate the Double Chance X2 + Over 1.5 combo.
Inter Milan may find it difficult to put one past Liverpool, who we believe should score and maintain their lead.
Bayern Munich return to the field in the Champions League next, against Salzburg. The Germans command the Bundesliga ahead of Borussia Dortmund and are seen as one of the favorites for the final victory in the Champions League alongside City, Liverpool, and PSG. Salzburg, on the other hand, can count on very interesting young players like Adeyemi and, in their league, boast the first position.
So far, only four games have been played between Salzburg and Bayern Munich. The first was a club friendly in 2009, which ended in a stalemate. After that, another friendly match took place in 2014, with the Austrians winning 3:0.
In 2020, the other two games were in the Champions League group stage. Both times, Bayern Munich was victorious. The German team won by a score of 2:6 and 3:1. Is it possible for Salzburg to do better this time? This is exceedingly unlikely.

Prediction
Bayern Munich is the natural favorite to win again on the field of Red Bull Salzburg after 7 consecutive victories in Champions League matches.
Red Bull Salzburg, on the other hand, will be up against it to break down their defense, though we anticipate them converting at least once here as well.
When all is said and done, we foresee a comfortable 1-3 victory for Bayern Munich.
Borussia Dortmund returns to European action against Rangers after being eliminated from the Champions League. The Yellow Wall are second in the Bundesliga but have recently been on a roll, winning with Union Berlin and Hoffenheim while losing in the Cup to Leverkusen and St Pauli.
Rangers are also second at home and were overtaken by Celtic after the derby loss 3-0, which was followed by three straight wins over Annnan, Hibernians, and Hearts.

Rangers Predicted XI: McLaughlin; Lundstram, Ramsey, Lowry; Sakala, Barker, Itten, Tavernier, Goldson, Balogun, Simpson;
Prediction
A shower of goals is expected between Borussia Dortmund and Rangers, with the Germans the favorites according to the bookmakers for the final victory, but our prediction is for Over 2.5. The squad led by Haaland is stronger than that of the Scots, and the Norwegian striker, together with a sparkling offensive department, gives the almost certainty of many goals for Borussia.
It would not be the first time since the Yellow Wall scored 16 goals in 2022 alone. However, Rangers could take advantage of an often poorly concentrated defense that has not conceded a goal just once in their last seven games and has recently conceded five home goals against Leverkusen. Not that the Scottish defense is quite irresistible.
Starting at the beginning of the season with very different continental goals, Xavi’s Barcelona and Luciano Spalletti’s Napoli face each other in the play-offs to access the Europa League final phase, and the first leg will be played at the Camp Nou, in Catalonia. Barcelona had a difficult year, finishing fourth in the league, 15 points behind leaders Real Madrid, having already been eliminated from the Copa del Re (as well as the Champions League) and losing in the Spanish Super Cup semifinals.
Furthermore, in the last round of La Liga, they did not go beyond 2-2 on the field of city rivals Espanyol. Napoli is much more brilliant. It is in full swing for the Scudetto and, although already out of the Italian Cup, it can better manage the commitments in a hot and, at the same time, electrifying season finale.
In the last round of Serie A, they drew 1-1 against Inter. Barcelona have Depay in strong doubt and have Alex Baldé, Sergi Roberto, Lenglet and Umtiti injured. In Napoli, Lozano is injured, while Politano and Lobotka are to be evaluated.

Napoli Predicted XI: Ospina; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Koulibaly, Mário Rui; Zambo Anguissa, Fabián Ruiz; Elmas, Zieliński, Insigne; Osimhen
Prediction
Napoli have a fantastic opportunity to harness a Barcelona that is very different from the one that defeated the Italians 3-1 in their last head-to-head. Despite all of Barcelona’s issues this season, the team still has a lot of talent. We anticipate that the hosts will resume their winning ways in a rather normal manner.
Spalletti’s team is playing good football, and the odds for over 1.5 goals look interesting.
