Featured Matches
1. Manchester City vs Sporting Lisbon
This is a hard-to-predict match for me because Manchester City had already beaten Sporting Lisbon 5-0 in Portugal. However, Pep Guardiola I know may not be willing to rest his key players as he would want to cause another damage at Etihad stadium. Sporting Lisbon may put up a never say never attitude and play an attacking football style to score goals in order to at least reduce a bad image of themselves even when it looks apparent that there is no hope of qualification for them. Manchester City will be motivated after thrashing Manchester United 4-1 in a crucial derby match during the weekend.
I think Manchester City will win again with a -1 Handicap at @1.45. My value bet is over 3.5 goals @2.05
2. Real Madrid vs PSG
Real Madrid have picked up form recently after their loss to PSG in the first leg. They have won 3 straight matches including demolishing Real Sociedad 4-1. Their recent performance will be a huge motivation to get their revenge against PSG despite the absence of Casemiro and Toni Kroos. PSG have lost 2 away matches back to back and this is not the kind of form they will need to face a hungry Real Madrid. However, they have a couple of world-class players in their midst to help them score goals. It will be a shock if PSG loses this match as Pochettino was hired to give them this long-awaited trophy.
My prediction is for both teams to score at @1.52. My value bet is a combination of both teams to score and over 2.5 goals @1.84
3. FC Porto vs Lyon
Porto will be highly motivated to welcome Lyon having knocked out Lazio in their last Champions League match. Moreover, they also have an incredible record of not losing any match in all competitions since December last year. They have been in good form and will hope to beat Lyon Tonight. Lyon on the other hand will also be motivated after thrashing Lorient 4-1 during the weekend match. That was a victory achieved away from home and will be looking forward to causing an upset against Porto in Portugal.
My Prediction: A mixed chance of both teams to score or over 2.5 goals @1.45 looks like the possible outcome to me. However, my value bet is a combination of both teams to score and over 2.5 goals @2.03 odd
Match of the day
Real Madrid vs PSG
Both Real Madrid and PSG are high attacking-minded sides. They will both play an offensive style of football and end up scoring themselves a goal. My prediction is for both teams to score plenty of goals.
