AC Milan vs Feyenoord: Draw @ 4.85
The pressure is on home side Milan in this one after suffering a 1-0 first-leg defeat in Rotterdam. It is the second consecutive failure for the Italians in this competition after a 2-1 loss at Dinamo Zagreb and Feynoord should be confident of maintaining the aggregate advantage. The Dutch side did lose 6-1 at Lille but also beat Bayern Munich 3-0 on home soil, so if the best version of them turns up at the San Siro, a positive result is on the cards. As such, we are boosting our odds by backing the draw!
AS Monaco to beat Benfica @ 4.00
Winning at Benfica is a tough task even for the best teams in Europe, but Monaco have a reason to be hugely confident ahead of the second leg. The Ligue 1 side thrashed Nantes 7-1 on the weekend, with striker Mika Biereth scoring yet another hat-trick. Benfica lead this tie 1-0 but we can see Monaco at the very least taking the match to extra-time. Get ready for entertainment in Lisbon!
Real Madrid to beat Manchester City @ 1.86
When it comes to the Champions League, it is always hard to look past a Real Madrid win. The holders turn into a different animal on the European stage, evidenced by the 3-2 victory at the Etihad. City beat Newcastle 4-0 on the weekend, with Omar Marmoush scoring a hat-trick, but Pep Guardiola is having to contend with a number of defensive injuries. And when you are preparing to face Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham, that is far from ideal, hence why we are backing the hosts for victory.
Juventus to beat PSV Eindhoven @ 2.95
Juventus really have been an odd team throughout 2024-25, capable of the spectacular but often falling into mediocrity. However, Thiago Motta’s side look to have found another gear this month, following up the crucial 2-1 win over PSV in Turin with a vital 1-0 victory over Inter Milan in Serie A. Things are looking up for the Old Lady, while PSV have won only one of the last five in all competitions after last Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Utrecht at home. Over to you, Juve!
