Atletico Madrid were handily beaten by Arsenal and Liverpool in the League Phase, while they were a mess defensively against Club Brugge in the last round. Spurs won all four home games on their way to finishing fourth in the first round, and they can match an Atletico side who have been far from dominant in Europe in recent seasons.

Sporting are arguably the weakest of the top-eight sides, while Bodo have won four straight European games including home and away victories over Inter Milan. The Norwegian side went to the semis in the Europa League last year, and they can see off a Sporting side who overperformed their xG numbers at a huge rate in the League Phase.

While Chelsea beat PSG 3-0 in the summer’s Club World Cup, Enzo Maresca’s tactical tweaks were key in that victory. Months on, and the Blues look to have gone backwards. PSG clearly took issue with the Blues, and they can claim some revenge after eliminating three Premier League sides on their way to last season’s final.

These two sides are meeting in the knockouts for the fifth straight year, and Real Madrid have won three of the previous four meetings, including the last two. The Spanish giants have won eight of their last 10 under new boss Arbeloa at the time of the draw, and they are one of the few sides in Europe with the individual talent to match City.

19th-placed Pisa have won just one game all season and have lost six of their last seven at home. They have found the net in their last three home fixtures, though, so they could bag a consolation against a Bologna side that have won four of their last five away games but have conceded in eight of their last ten trips.

Cordoba have won three of their last four home games and should pick up another three points against Andorra, who are only two points above the Segunda Division relegation zone. The visitors have lost three of their last four on the road but have scored in three of these, so they may find the net against a home side without a clean sheet in three at home.

Real Madrid have won eight in a row against Getafe, but seven of those have featured no more than two goals, and with Los Blancos having also failed to score more than twice in eight of their last 10 La Liga matches, this could end in another low-scoring success.

Amiens may be struggling for wins, but both teams have scored in six of their last seven home games and they should be able to find the net against promotion-chasing Troyes, who have conceded in four of their last six on the road.

With both of these sides struggling for consistency, an open and exciting affair is expected in Udine. Hosts Udinese have seen both teams to score land in five of their last eight games and with the same selection winning in eight of Fiorentina’s last 11 as well as the four most recent head-to-heads, it looks the standout play again.

Six of Getafe’s last seven trips to Real Madrid have seen them lose without scoring and, with just four goals in their last six La Liga away days and facing a Los Blancos side on a seven-game winning run at home, they may struggle once again.

Gil Vicente may be underdogs, but they have only lost twice at home this season and have the attacking capabilities to strike back at Benfica. They have scored in nine of their 11 home games and over 2.5 goals has landed in four of their last five here, while Benfica have conceded in three of their last four on the road but have the talent to make this a high-scoring affair.

NEC Nijmegen are struggling for form ahead of this Dutch Cup clash with Eredivisie leaders PSV. The hosts lost 3-2 to Fortuna Sittard at the weekend, their fourth straight league game without a win. Over 3.5 goals has landed in 68% of their Eredivisie games, while PSV won 5-3 in their league clash at this ground.

Brentford won their fourth successive away game on Saturday and could defy the odds against a Bournemouth side they have beaten five times on the spin, including twice this season. The Bees haven’t lost to the Cherries since the first leg of their Championship play-off final in 2021, while the hosts have dropped points in three of their last four games.

Leeds have won four of their last eight home league games with two draws while Sunderland have lost three of their last four away Premier League fixtures. The Whites had the better of the 1-1 Stadium of Light draw earlier this season and can the result their recent play deserves here.

Como have lost only two of 16 home matches this season, winning nine and face an Inter side have a number of injury issues. Fabregas’ side have recently beaten Juventus and drawn with AC Milan so are worth backing in the Draw No Bet marlet for what could be a tense first leg.

Portugal’s top two meet in the semi-finals of the cup on Tuesday, with their two league meetings this season each finishing with both teams scoring. Sporting haven’t failed to find the net in any game this season, while Porto have scored in all of their league trips.

Igor Thiago scored his 18th Premier League goal of the season on Saturday and has notched seven of these in his last nine appearances, while he also got on the scoresheet when he visited the Vitality Stadium in the League Cup earlier this term.

Everton have won only two of their last 11 home games across all competitions, and they’ve failed to win at the Hill Dickinson Stadium in 2026. Burnley have been spirited in their recent displays, and they’ve avoided defeat in three of their four trips.

Liverpool have seen six of their last eight away trips finish goalless in the first half, while the same has landed in four of Wolves’ previous five. The Reds have scored 66% of their away goals this term after the break, including 18 of their 21 strikes on the road. The Reds have won all four of their visits to the bottom five after the game was 0-0 at half-time, and 10 of their 14 away games this season have seen more goals scored after the break.

Celtic head to an Aberdeen side who have taken one point from the last 15 available, while they have lost 12 of 14 meetings with the top-half. However, BTTS has landed in five of their last six league games. The champions have also conceded in 11 of their 14 Premiership trips this season.

Lazio have lost to nil in four of their five home league meetings with the top seven this term, including a 2-0 loss to Atalanta last month. That lack of spark in the final third is worth opposing again, as la Dea look to build on their Champions League success with a cup final appearance.

Gladbach aren’t expected to trouble Bayern, with the visitors losing all five of their encounters with the top four this season. They fell 3-0 to Stuttgart and 5-1 at Hoffenheim earlier this year, and Bayern could improve on their 3-0 win on the road earlier this term.

Cheltenham have pulled away from the League Two drop zone with a four-game unbeaten run, but their defensive struggles have continued.Both teams have scored in five of their last six, and they host a Barrow side who have kept two away clean sheets all season. Both teams have scored in Barrow’s last 11 away games, with the visitors scoring in five straight away defeats.

Millwall’s 2-0 win at Preston on Saturday was their fourth win in five Championship games, while the Lions have scored 15 times across their last seven. Hull have conceded at least twice in their last four home games, while the Lions struck twice in wins at Wrexham and Sheffield United last month.

The visitors have lost all of their visits to top half teams this season and they’ve lost 10 of their 13 away trips overall. Osasuna beat Real Madrid in their last home game, and they’ve won six of seven at home to sides below them.

Paris FC have conceded 23 goals across their seven meetings with the top five overall, including a 3-3 draw when these sides met in the capital. Paris FC have a good scoring record on the road, but they should struggle to contain Lyon’s impressive forward line.

Everton have won only two of their last 11 home games across all competitions, and they’ve failed to win at the Hill Dickinson Stadium in 2026. Burnley have been spirited in their recent displays, and they’ve avoided defeat in three of their four trips.

Ipswich are in decent form, but they have failed to win four of their last seven games and promotion-rivals Hull have the best away record in the Championship. The Tigers are unbeaten since November on their travels, winning seven of their eight trips since.

Port Vale have scored in each of their last five games, but League One’s bottom-placed club are unlikely to keep out the superior Bristol City, who have seen both teams score in four of their last five games.

Barcelona are 4-0 down from the first leg and need a comeback of massive proportions. They will give it a go in the knowledge that Atletico Madrid have conceded nine goals in their last five games and should win with at least four goals in the game.

Sunderland have been poor travellers this season and Leeds need the points more than the Black Cats so I think it will be a home win for the Whites at Elland Road on Tuesday. Sunderland have won just twice away from home all season and while Leeds’ home form has been mixed, they can pick up an important three points as they look to move further away from trouble.

Chelsea look a decent price away at Aston Villa, who have been struggling recently. The goals have dried up for Unai Emery’s men recently and the same can’t be said for the Blues under Liam Rosenior. Chelsea have also been better away from home under their new boss than at Stamford Bridge.

This will be a game the Hammers will have targeted in their bid to get out of the bottom three. A late Raul Jimenez goal was the difference between the sides in the reverse fixture in December, when West Ham were arguably in their worst form. They look a different team now and with Fulham not keeping a clean sheet since that win at the London Stadium, Nuno will believe that his refreshed squad can take advantage.
