Champions League Playoff Round 1^st Leg Predictions

—

Brest vs PSG

Brest ($8.00)

PSG ($1.40)

Draw ($5.20)

An all-French tie catches the eye here, as Brest look to take on domestic champions PSG for a place in the last 16. Brest have been one of the surprise packages of the Champions League this season, but PSG should have too much for them, and they should prevail in the first leg.

Betting tip: PSG to win the match ($1.40)

PSG to win 3-1

Celtic vs Bayern Munich

Celtic ($8.00)

Bayern Munich ($1.38)

Draw ($6.00)

Scottish champions Celtic will be looking to lay down the gauntlet to Bayern Munich in this one. The atmosphere at Celtic Park should be raucous but provided Bayern can navigate that, they should have too much in the tank for Celtic in this one.

Betting tip: Bayern Munich to win the match ($1.38)

Bayern Munich to win 2-1

Club Brugge vs Atalanta

Club Brugge ($4.00)

Atalanta ($1.95)

Draw ($3.65)

Belgian side Club Brugge came close to beating Manchester City last time out and will be looking for a similar showing here. Atalanta will be up for this test though and their exciting side, packed with attacking talents, should be able to see off Club Brugge in this one.

Betting tip: Atalanta to win the match ($1.95)

Atalanta to win 3-1

Feyenoord vs AC Milan

Feyenoord ($3.00)

AC Milan ($2.37)

Draw ($3.60)

Dutch giants Feyenoord have been one of the dark horses in the Champions League thus far and they will want to make life tough for AC Milan here. The second leg at the San Siro feels as if it will be the decisive one and this could end up being a draw in Rotterdam.

1-1 Draw

Juventus vs PSV Eindhoven

Juventus ($1.92)

PSV Eindhoven ($4.33)

Draw ($3.65)

Juventus and PSV Eindhoven face off in what should be a whopper in Turin, between two sides that are not used to losing games. Juve will be looking to make the most of home advantage though and they should just about manage to get over the line.

Betting tip: Juventus to win the match ($1.92)

Juventus to win 2-1

Manchester City vs Real Madrid

Manchester City ($2.40)

Real Madrid ($2.85)

Draw ($3.80)

Two juggernauts of European football meet for the 5^th time in 6 years, as Manchester City host Real Madrid. City have the feel of a fallen giant however and with Madrid ticking into gear in recent weeks, this may not be pretty for Pep Guardiola’s side at the Etihad.

Betting tip: Real Madrid to win the match ($2.85)

Real Madrid to win 3-1

Monaco vs Benfica

Monaco ($2.34)

Benfica ($3.00)

Draw ($3.70)

Monaco have been producing some decent performances of late and they will fancy their chances of being able to upset Benfica in this one. Both sides could be outsiders to go deep in this competition and a first leg draw would set the rest of the tie up nicely.

1-1 Draw

Sporting Lisbon vs Borussia Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund ($3.15)

Draw ($3.70)

Borussia Dortmund to win 2-1
