Barcelona vs Borussia Dortmund
Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund clash later today, and the hosts are the overwhelming favourites to secure a comfortable victory and move into the semi-finals – with Barcelona one of the leading contenders to lift the trophy at the end of the campaign.
The hosts are unbeaten in their last 22 matches heading into this clash, while the visitors are struggling in mid-table of the Bundesliga and have won only five of their past 10, alongside two draws and three losses.
This cements Barcelona as the favourites to win, especially with their home advantage, and we also expect several goals – with the hosts scoring a massive 32 goals in the Champions League this season, while Borussia Dortmund are joint-second highest scorers with 28.

One of the main reasons that Barcelona have been so prolific this season is the excellent form of Robert Lewnadowski, who is still scoring at an extraordinary rate at the age of 36.
The striker has netted 38 goals in 44 appearances across all competitions this term – already more than he has achieved in either of his last two seasons since joining Barcelona – and we expect that superb form to continue with a goal against his former club.

PSG vs Aston Villa
Paris Saint-Germain, alongside Barcelona, are one of the leading favourites to lift the Champions League trophy at the end of the campaign, with the French giants producing a number of wonderful performances this term.
The hosts also have the benefit of already winning their domestic league, meaning their players will be able to rest in Ligue 1 fixtures and put their full focus on Champions League clashes, and victories against the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool mean they will be full of confidence.
Aston Villa are also inexperienced of playing at this level of football, and may struggle to match the quality that PSG have displayed this season.

PSG to win, 1.48 – Book Here
Ousmane Dembele had always had a reputation for being a poor goalscorer, with his highest goal tally prior to this campaign being 14 goals for Barcelona in the 2018/19 season, but he has certainly proved that wrong this term.
The Frenchman has scored a sensational 32 goals and assisted seven in 40 matches across all competitions this term, including seven in 10 Champions League fixtures and six in his last six appearances for PSG.
With this, Dembele is good value to continue his strong form in front of goal and help lead PSG to first-leg victory with a goal in this one.
