Real Madrid VS Chelsea
There will be fireworks when Real Madrid and Chelsea square off against each other in the Champions League quarter-finals, first leg. Los Blancos are on a quest to defend their trophy, and the bookies see them as hot favourites to beat the out-of-form Blues at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.
The Premier League outfit, failed to find the net in the previous three league fixtures, and given their poor display in a 1-0 loss to Wolverhampton, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Carlo Ancelotti’s troops.
Benfica Vs Inter Milan
The Eagles have been impressive in the elite competition this season, and it is no wonder the odds for home win have been dropping. Even though experienced centre-back Nicolas Otamendi serves a one-game ban, home win should be considered as the Primeira Liga leaders have turned their Estadio da Luz into a real fortress.
The Nerazzurri, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team failing to win the previous six games in all competitions. Important midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu misses out with a thigh problem, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on Benfica. Towering defender Milan Skriniar is yet another absentee in the visiting team. When the two teams met in the Europa League last 16 back in 2004 Inter eliminated Benfica, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
Man City VS Bayern Munich
After rolling over Southampton in the Premier League round 30, Man City will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-finals, first leg. The Citizens are on an eight-game winning run in all competitions, and, no doubt, they will continue relying on Norway superstar Erling Haaland, who scored a brace at the weekend.
The Bavarians, on the other hand, set up a meeting with Pep Guardiola’s troops by beating star-studded PSG in the two-legged tie. Since Bayern Munich look sharp in front of goal, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals.
AC Milan V Napoli
All eyes will be on Stadio San Siro when Milan and Napoli face each other in an all-Serie A clash in the Champions League quarter-finals. The Rossoneri did well to keep back-to-back clean sheets in the double-header with Tottenham, and they are likely to rely on their rock-solid defence in Wednesday’s clash as well.
The Neapolitans, on the other hand, are on the right track to win their first Serie A trophy since 1990, but they have big ambitions for the Champions League final stages as well. Key attacker Victor Osimhen, though, misses the first leg with a thigh injury, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on under 2.5 goals.
