With the Champions League draw for the round of 16 fixtures which are due to be played in February, its starting to get to the business end of the tournament in which we start to see who is most likely to win the tournament. Due to this, we look ahead to the big ties in the round of 16 and who looks most likely to get through to the quarter finals of the competition.
Whilst we wait for February to come round to watch the Champions League, why not log onto casinosuden.com to have a bet on some of the main European Leagues which start again this weekend. This site is offering some of the best odds on the football market and a range of other sports, as well as promotional deals and sign up offers when signing up now – something certainly worth checking out.
The big tie in the next round of fixtures is Barcelona vs Paris St Germain which seems to be a grudge match. Barcelona came second in their group, explaining why they are playing seeded side PSG and will be looking for a repeat of their impressive comeback in 2017 when they won 6-1 to get through on aggregate. However, we think PSG will get through to the quarters priced at 5/6.
The next biggest tie in the round of 16 is that of Atletico Madrid vs Chelsea which also promises to be a mouth-watering fixture. Although Chelsea are favourites to go through to the next round priced at 5/6, it is virtually a 50/50 tie and Frank Lampard and Chelsea will feel hard done by to be drawn against current La Liga leaders – Atletico are always a tough side to beat in Europe.
Real Madrid have drawn Atalanta in the next round and are big favourites to get through to the next round priced at 2/5. Madrid will know that they aren’t playing their best football at the moment but will know that it’s the same feeling for Atalanta and will be going into this fixture confident over 2 legs.
Manchester City always seem to gain an easy draw in the round of 16 and this year they have drawn Borussia Monchengladbach and are 1/8 to go through over two legs which seems very likely. City have struggled in this competition under Pep Guardiola and we think they will be taking this competition very seriously this year.
