It looks as if there could be a different name on the trophy in the Champions League this season, with holders Real Madrid seriously under the pump – following their 3-0 loss to Arsenal in the first leg.
Writing the Madrid off is never too clever though, while their Spanish rivals Barcelona look well placed to progress against Borussia Dortmund.
Elsewhere, Inter Milan hold a slender 1st leg advantage over Bayern Munich, as they head back to the San Siro, while Aston Villa will be looking for a European miracle at Villa Park against PSG.

Champions League Quarter Final, 2nd Leg Predictions
—
Aston Villa vs PSG – PSG lead 3-1 on aggregate
Aston Villa ($3.30)
PSG ($2.15)
Draw ($4.00)
Following a pulsating encounter in the French capital last week, Aston Villa and PSG lock horns at Villa Park, with the atmosphere set to be super-charged. That said, it was all about PSG in the first leg, who were totally dominant in all departments and only having a 3-1 advantage could prove to be a source of annoyance for them. Villa should take heart from still being in the tie and this will be a raucous one for them in front of their home fans. PSG seem to be a different beast this season though and their pragmatism could see them secure a draw here and progress to the last 4.
Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($4.00)
1-1 Draw
Borussia Dortmund vs Barcelona – Barcelona lead 4-0 on aggregate
Borussia Dortmund ($3.90)
Barcelona ($1.90)
Draw ($4.33)
A rampant home performance at the Nou Camp has seen Barcelona all-but secure their place in the last 4 here but the formality of going to Dortmund and picking up a result remains. Having been outclassed in the opening leg, last-year’s finalists Borussia Dortmund look to have run their race this season in the Champions League. Barcelona meanwhile can potentially rotate their squad for this one, as they continue to fight for domestic and European glory this season. Dortmund and their fans will want to put on a performance here, but Barcelona could pick them off.
Betting tip: Barcelona to win the match ($1.90)
Barcelona to win 2-1
Real Madrid vs Arsenal – Arsenal lead 3-0 on aggregate
Real Madrid ($1.73)
Arsenal ($4.75)
Draw ($4.50)
One of the biggest results of the previous round was Arsenal’s thumping home win over Real Madrid and the Gunners will be clinging on for their lives here in the Spanish capital. Madrid lacked their usual fluency and potency in the first leg at the Emirates Stadium and they know they will need something special to overcome this deficit. If there is one side capable of completing this type of turnaround however, it is Real Madrid and Arsenal will be fearing the worst if they concede the first goal here. An Arsenal goal however should kill this tie off and while Real Madrid should win on the night, it may not be enough to see them progress.
Betting tip: Real Madrid to win the match ($1.73)
Real Madrid to win 3-1
Inter Milan vs Bayern Munich – Inter Milan lead 2-1 on aggregate
Inter Milan ($2.75)
Bayern Munich ($2.60)
Draw ($3.75)
Another absolute belter of a tie was played out in Munich last week and Inter Milan and Bayern Munich lock horns again this week. It was Inter who prevailed in the key moments in Bavaria, emerging with a precious 2-1 advantage and they will be looking to keep that intact here at the San Siro. Vincent Kompany’s Bayern Munich remain one of the most dangerous sides in Europe though and if they get it right, Inter could be in for a tough evening in front of their home fans. It does feel as if Inter are progressing in European competition though and they could eke out a home win in this one, enabling them to reach the last 4.
Betting tip: Inter Milan to win the match ($2.75)
