Champions League Predictions

Rasmus Hojlund has scored two goals in three previous Champions League appearances this term and registered for Denmark in the recent international break. He assisted Napoli’s opener last weekend and should get chances to score at home to Qarabag.

Galatasaray top scorer Victor Osimhen is struggling to be fit for this clash but his deputy Mauro Icardi has scored in five of the last seven matches where he has played 45+ minutes.

Vangelis Pavlidis scored in the Taca de Portugal on Friday to make it six goals in his last six appearances for Benfica, and he can strike in Amsterdam on Tuesday.

Kasper Hogh has been hot and cold this season, but he is the central striker in a side that creates a lot of opportunities through the middle from crosses.  Hogh has scored six goals in Bodo/Glimt’s last eight home European games.

Marcus Rashford has four goals in four Champions League games this season and four goals and three assists in 15 previous matches against Chelsea.

Harvey Barnes has three goals in four Champions League games this season and is coming off  a double strike in his last game against Manchester City.

Bayern Munich and Manchester City are the only teams to have beaten Borussia Dortmund this season and they should have too much for Villarreal, who have failed to score in three of their four Champions League matches this season.

Chelsea have won four of their last five home games while Barcelona have lost two and drawn one of their last four away matches. The Blues have lost only one of their previous seven matches at home against Barcelona, winning four.

Ajax and Benfica have lost all four of their Champions League games, but Benfica have been performing at a domestic level and head to Amsterdam with four wins in seven games, while Ajax have lost their last three and have scored one and conceded 14 in their four Champions League outings.

Newcastle beat Union SG 4-0 in their last Champions League away game while Marseille lost 1-0 at home to Atalanta on Matchday 4. The hosts are without a win in their last 12 European matches against English teams, including nine losses while Newcastle have lost only two of their last 13 UEFA competition group stage/league phase matches away from home.

Napoli have won five of their last seven home games with both teams scoring in all five wins. Qarabag have scored in all nine of their away matches this season, so look good to register, but they have lost five of their six UEFA competition matches against Italian teams, including all three away from home.

Both teams have scored in four of Galatasaray’s last five home games and in each of Union SG’s last three away matches, but Galatasaray have the quality to take the points against a visiting side that lost 3-1 at Atletico Madrid last time out.

Two of Napoli’s last six results were 3-1 home wins and they can secure another against a Qarabag side that lost 3-1 at Athletic Bilbao on Matchday three and held Chelsea to a 2-2 draw last time out.

Athletic won 1-0 when these sides met in the Europa League 13 months ago and a similar score could be in store even if that one was played in Bilbao. Valverde’s men have failed to score more than once in six of their last seven away games, but they have kept a couple of clean sheets in the last two months. Slavia have failed to score in their last three Champions League games.

Newcastle beat Union SG 4-0 in their last Champions League away game while Marseille lost 1-0 at home to Atalanta on Matchday 4. The hosts are without a win in their last 12 European matches against English teams, including nine losses while Newcastle have lost only two of their last 13 UEFA competition group stage/league phase matches away from home. Backing at least three goals in the game could boost the payout as three of the last four Newcastle games and six of Marseille’s last eight have featured three or more strikes.

Slavia Prague have failed to score in their last three Champions League games while Athletic Bilbao have failed to score in two of their four Champions League games this season. Goals could be at a premium in this clash that neither side dare lose if they are to remain in contention for the playoff round.

Bayern Munich and Manchester City are the only teams to have beaten Borussia Dortmund this season and they should have too much for Villarreal, who have failed to score in three of their four Champions League matches this season.
