Champions League Round of 16 Predictions

—

FC Copenhagen vs Manchester City

FC Copenhagen ($13)

Manchester City ($1.25)

Draw ($6.50)

Defending champions Manchester City will be desperate to keep their winning streak going, as they face a tricky first leg assignment at Danish champions FC Copenhagen.

For the Danes, qualifying from a group including Galatasaray, Bayern Munich and Manchester United is a real feather in their cap and they will believe that this is a complete free hit here.

City meanwhile have won their last 10 games in all competitions, and they tend to come good at this time of year.

This won’t be as easy as the odds suggest but City should pick up a result on the road, which they can take back to the Etihad.

Betting tip: Manchester City to win the match ($1.25)

Manchester City to win 2-1

RB Leipzig vs Real Madrid

RB Leipzig ($3.15)

Real Madrid ($2.25)

Draw ($3.85)

Two sides chasing their Champions League dreams once again this term face off, as RB Leipzig take on Real Madrid.

It has been a tough season so far for the Germans, but they tend to play their best stuff in the Champions League, and they won’t fear Real Madrid at home here.

Madrid however are certainly trending in the right direction, climbing to the top of La Liga at the weekend and this should give them some serious confidence here and they should pick up a result on the road.

Betting tip: Real Madrid to win the match ($2.25)

Real Madrid to win 2-0

Lazio vs Bayern Munich

Lazio ($6.10)

Bayern Munich ($1.62)

Draw ($4.35)

Having not won the Champions League for almost 10 years, Bayern Munich will be eager to dine at the top table of European football once more this season.

They take on a Lazio side, who are ticking along nicely in Serie A, and they will be desperate to put on a show in front of their home fans at the Stadio Olimpico.

Bayern will be all too aware of the challenge here and they were well beaten by Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga last weekend, and they will be happy to take a draw in this one.

Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($4.35)

1-1 Draw

PSG vs Real Sociedad

PSG ($1.67)

Real Sociedad ($5.75)

Draw ($4.10)

The wait for a Champions League crown continues for PSG and they will be desperate to keep their name in the hunt, as they take on Real Sociedad.

For the French giants, winning the Ligue 1 title every season simply isn’t enough and they will believe that they perhaps have the capability to challenge in Europe this term.

Real Sociedad will arrive in the French capital believing that they can get a result and if they do, they will have something to defend back in the Basque.

However, PSG are going well and they should pick up a home win here, piling the pressure on the La Liga outfit.

Betting tip: PSG to win the match ($1.67)

PSG to win 2-1
