Benfica have it all to do to try and overturn a 1-goal deficit in Barcelona! Barcelona are coming into this game off the back of that 1-0 win over Benfica and they currently lead LaLiga! When it comes to Benfica, they enter this game off the back of a 3-0 win over Nacional and they currently sit second in Liga Portugal! Overall, I fully expect Barcelona to breeze through this tie!

My Prediction: 3-1 (Barcelona Win 4-1 on Aggregate)

 


Bayer Leverkusen VS Bayern Munich

Bayer Leverkusen may well need a miracle in order to advance to the Quarter-Finals! Bayer Leverkusen are coming into this game off the back of a 2-0 home loss to Werder Breman and they currently sit second in the Bundesliga! When it comes to Bayern Munich, they enter this game off the back of a 3-2 loss at home to VfL Bochum, but they do still currently lead the Bundesliga! Overall, 3 goals is too much of a lead for Leverkusen to overcome!

My Prediction: 1-0 (Bayern Win 3-1 on Aggregate)

 


Inter Milan VS Feyenoord

When it comes to Feyenoord, they enter this game off the back of that 2-0 loss to Inter and they currently sit 5th in the Eredivisie! Overall, Inter should coast this!

Liverpool VS PSG

It’s advantage Liverpool heading into the Second Leg at Anfield! Liverpool are coming into this game off the back of a 3-1 win over Southampton and they currently lead the Premier League! When it comes to PSG, they enter this game off the back of a 4-1 thumping over Rennes and they currently lead Ligue 1! Overall, I think the fact that Liverpool managed to win in Paris is enough for them to get themselves into the Last 8!

When it comes to Borussia Dortmund, they enter this game off the back of a 1-0 defeat at home to Augsburg and they currently sit 10th in the Bundesliga! Overall, this is the game I’m finding the most difficult to call, I really could see either of these teams winning here!

Aston Villa cannot afford to become complacent in their home leg against Club Brugge!

When it comes to Club Brugge, they enter this game off the back of a 3-1 win at Cercle Brugge and they currently find themselves second in the Belgian First Division!
