The Champions League is back in action with four Round of 16 matchups on Tuesday and Wednesday, and we’re here to share our favorite picks.
Let’s jump into the best Champions League odds and picks for the Round of 16.
Feb. 13 Champions League odds, preview & picks: Man City UCL predictions
Man City vs. Copenhagen odds, picks & props
The reigning Champions League trophy holders have not lost a match in the competition in the ongoing campaign. At the same time, their performances have not been overwhelmingly convincing, as they narrowly skated by Red Star Belgrade 3-2 and RB Leipzig, also 3-2, in their last couple of matches.
At the same time, the Citizens won their last 10 matches, most recently beating Everton 2-0 thanks to an Erling Haaland brace on Saturday.
Copenhagen is third and 3 points off the top of the Danish Superliga, though they have not played since Dec. 12. They only went 2-2-2 in the group stage but have proven to be a tricky team to beat for top sides, including Bayern Munich (whom they drew with once) and Manchester United (whom they beat once) during the previous round.
Pep Guardiola also drew with Copenhagen in 2010 as the manager of Barcelona. With a talented roster, an outstanding home environment, and an enormous rest advantage, Copenhagen has a real chance to grab a result.
Man City vs. Copenhagen pick: Draw (+550 or better)
Feb. 13 Champions League picks: RB Leipzig vs. Real Madrid odds, predictions & props
Madrid enters the match as winners of four of their last five, though they only kept two clean sheets in their last nine matches. That’s partially due to goalkeeping woes as neither Andriy Lunin or Kepa Arrizabalaga have inspired much confidence in place of the injured Thibaut Courtois.
Madrid leads the Spanish LaLiga by 5 points and won all six matches in the group stage. However, like Man City, they narrowly beat Union Berlin 3-2 in their last match and conceded a total of eight goals across the six matches.
Leipzig is fifth in the German Bundesliga and only won one of its six most recent matches. They won every Group Stage match against non-Man City opponents but conceded at least once in every match and recently let Timo Werner leave for Tottenham.
Leipzig can play a nice game but has been too leaky at the back to trust against a pacey and technical Madrid attack, even with Jude Bellingham and others sidelined by injury.
RB Leipzig vs. Real Madrid pick: Madrid ML (+125 or better), home team over 4.5 corners (-108 or better)
Feb. 14 Champions League odds, preview & picks: Bayern Munich props & PSG vs. Real Sociedad best bets
Lazio vs. Bayern Munich odds, picks & props
Lazio only finds itself eighth in the Italian Serie A and with one win in its last four matches. It also failed to score more than five times in six games and finished the Group Stage with three wins, two losses and a draw.
The Italian side has a decent defense but struggles in front of goal. Even the prolific Ciro Immobile only has six goals in 19 Serie A matches and three in six Champions League outings.
Bayern is second in the Bundesliga but just played one of their worst matches in years in a 3-0 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen. They aren’t in a great run of form but went unbeaten with only one draw in the Group Stage.
Thomas Tuchel recently pivoted to a back five and could bring that more pragmatic approach into this matchup or revert to a back four. Either way, this shapes up as a game that could finish with fewer goals because of Lazio’s struggles and Bayern’s chaos.
Lazio vs. Bayern Munich pick: Under 2.5 goals (+114 or better)
PSG vs. Real Sociedad odds, picks & props
Although star Kylian Mbappe could very well be on his way out in the summer, the 25-year-old still has 30 goals and seven assists in 29 matches across all competitions this season.
PSG leads the French Ligue 1 and has not tasted defeat in its last 16 matches, though it tied two and lost one of its last three Champions League games.
Sociedad did not score in four straight matches and recently fell to seventh in LaLiga. They have fewer wins (nine) than they do draws (10) domestically and are heavily reliant upon their defense to keep them competitive more than they are on their attack.
The Spanish side won three and tied three Group Stage matches, though both of its two most recent outings ended in scoreless draws.
Although PSG has not been great against top sides, they should win this one against a team struggling for goals.
PSG vs. Real Sociedad same-game parlay (+509 or better)
- PSG moneyline
- Mbappe goal or assist
- Under 2.5 goals
