Bayern Munich versus PSG - Wednesday, March 8th
Bayern Munich played a great game in the first leg against PSG, one in which they saw off a late attacking barrage by the Parisians.
Winning the first leg one goal to none, they have something to build off when they head back to the Allianz.
There is a growing uncertainty with this Bayern team, especially with their shaky results in the Bundesliga.
They have been dominant in the CL this season, however.
Their results shift a full 360 when taking a look at European play, and they will be at home to coronate their ticket to the next round.
If Kingsley Coman and company play to their best, this should be a spot in which they are able to extend their goal lead and run away with the tie.
If not, the defence will prove to once again be a soft spot in the grand scheme.
This game will be tricky for Bayern but expect them to be well-prepared once the whistle starts this Wednesday.
PSG are going to be without Neymar in leg two, and for another three to four months.
The Brazilian superstar needs surgery to repair his injury, and that makes the game rely on Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi all that much more.
The two have been a strikingly good pair this year, and this game will be a true test of their progress as a duo.
The PSG side was able to create some massive chances once Mbappe was subbed on last time around, and he is even healthier now.
Look for the counter to be where they strike, and possibly spoil this tie.
Betting Prediction - PSG over 1.5 team total, and the Both teams to score line.
Chelsea versus Borussia Dortmund - Tuesday, March 7th
Chelsea has shaken off the cobwebs and finally recorded a goal and a win against Leeds this past weekend.
Although Leeds is a side that won’t be of much importance to the likes of Borussia Dortmund, Chelsea can take the confidence from their home performance.
Graham Potter is running out of time, and his players must respond in a huge way this upcoming Tuesday.
Dortmund is currently playing like one of the top five squads in the world at the moment, and with a goal in hand they will be on Chelsea’s back heavily.
Betting Prediction - Chelsea to win this match and take the tie to extra time where Dortmund wins it.
