Monaco vs Aston Villa
Monaco come into this one having suffered a dismal run of results in recent months, having recorded just two wins in their last 11 matches across all competitions, alongside seven losses and two draws.
In comparison, Aston Villa are undefeated in their last five outings with three wins and one draw, while they will also be boosted after coming from 2-0 down against Arsenal to brilliantly draw 2-2 with the Gunners in their last outing.
With the huge contrast in form heading into this one, the visitors should secure another three points here.

Atletico Madrid vs Bayer Leverkusen
Atletico Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen have been two of the most in-form sides across Europe in past months, but the Spanish side’s remarkable run came to a disappointing end in their last game.
Tuesday’s hosts had won 15 consecutive matches heading into a game against Leganes, but their opponents secured a surprising 1-0 win to end Diego Simeone’s sides unbeaten run.
In contrast, Bayer Leverkusen are unbeaten in their last 12 matches with 11 wins and just one draw, including winning all of their last 11 matches, leaving them with huge confidence heading into this one against newly-wounded Atletico Madrid.
With this, we believe that Leverkusen will continue their run with a narrow and dramatic win.
Bayer Leverkusen to win, 3.15

Benfica vs Barcelona
Barcelona have been one of the top scoring sides of any across Europe so far this season, and that has carried over into the Champions League, with no team managing more than their 21 goals in just six league phase fixtures.
Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha have been a large part of that success in front of goal, with the striker netting seven in six Champions League appearances and the winger boasting six from six appearances.
With this remarkable scoring record, we expect Barcelona to dominate and get plenty of attacking opportunities here, making Raphinha good value to score tonight.

Liverpool vs Lille
Liverpool may be top of the Champions League table, as well as the English Premier League standings, but they are set for a difficult matchup against a Lille side that sit eighth in the league phase standings and are unbeaten in their last 21 matches.
The hosts, on the other hand, have only won two of their last five outings, beating Accrington Stanley in the FA Cup and needing two stoppage time goals from Darwin Nunez to defeat Brentford last time out, while they suffered one defeat and two draws in that time.
However, Liverpool are without defeat at their home ground in 13 matches, since the 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest at the beginning of the campaign, and we believe their strength at Anfield will help them secure a superb win here.
Liverpool to win, 1.28
