Champions League: En Route for the quarter-finals first leg!

Arsenal vs Bayern Munich: duel of opposites
For this first day of this Champions League week, we are going to witness a superb evening with two behemoths! To begin with, we have the chance to witness a matchup between Arsenal and Bayern Munich. Usually, the Bavarian club would logically be the big favorite in this double confrontation. And yet... Bayern is having a catastrophic season: quickly eliminated in the German Cup, defeated in the Super Cup, and dropped in the league with 16 points behind Bayer Leverkusen... The only chance for Thomas Tuchel's men to save their season is the Champions League. But the journey will not be easy. In the event of qualification for the semi-final, there will be opposition against Manchester City or Real Madrid to manage. But, in any case, Bayern seems quite far away at the moment, since heads must be focused on this matchup against Arsenal. The Londoners are walking on water this year, and are currently leaders of the Premier League! Even if everything hasn't been perfect in the Champions League, (defeat at Lens in particular or barely qualifying against Porto in the round of 16), they probably find themselves for the first time in their history with the status of favorite against Bayern Munich. All the information on the meeting can be found on our Arsenal – Bayern Munich prediction!

Real Madrid vs Manchester City: Clash of the Titans
This is THE matchup of these quarter-finals. The last two winners of the Champions League, the two contenders for the title this year in our Champions League prediction... It's clearly a final before its time. This Tuesday, Real Madrid hosts Manchester City at the Bernabeu for the first round of these Champions League quarter-finals. And Real will clearly want to forget last year's rout. We remember it very well: after the 1-1 at the Bernabeu, Madrid took a real football lesson to finally lose 4-0 in England. Carlo Ancelotti's men had chances to take off in the first leg and will want to avoid giving the Citizens any hope once again. But it will not be easy against the armada of Pep Guardiola, who are aiming to make history with a second consecutive title in this Champions League. We expect a huge match with a lot of pace, but above all two teams who will play to win. Some statistics to finish: Real are undefeated in 13 matches, and have not lost at home in 21 matches, while City have not lost in 25 matches and 12 away matches... If the outcome seems difficult to imagine, our Real Madrid – Manchester City prediction is more of an alternative bet. Do not hesitate to consult it in order to have the numerous statistics and the latest information concerning the match.

Atlético Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund: When the outsiders meet
One thing is certain, this is the least anticipated match for football fans and sports betting fans in these quarter-finals. But this is not an uninteresting match! We find one of the outsiders, Atlético Madrid, who have dreamed of winning the trophy for many years and will want to avoid a blank season, and Borussia Dortmund, who finished first in the pool of death ahead of PSG, Milan and Newcastle. A match that should be interesting to follow, between two attacking teams who are not reaping the expected results. And, to avoid a year without a trophy, Atlético and Dortmund have only one hope: to win this Champions League. A goal that obviously seems very complicated to achieve at the moment, but who knows...

PSG vs FC Barcelona: An episode of déjà vu
This double confrontation between PSG and FC Barcelona is an instant classic as the two sides have had numerous oppositions in recent years: 2012-2013, 2013-2014, 2014 -2015, 2016-2017 and 2020-2021! All this for a perfectly balanced record: 4 victories for Barca, 4 for PSG and 4 draws. However, as far as qualifications are concerned, FC Barcelona is ahead: 3 qualifiers for the Catalans, and only 1 for the Parisians, during the last confrontation and the famous 1-4 at Camp Nou with Mbappé's hat-trick! We are once again expecting a historic double confrontation between two clubs which, in our opinion, have every chance of reaching the last four. Do not hesitate to consult our PSG vs FC Barcelona prediction.
