With high profile sides potentially being knocked out, and pressure being put on big name players, this week is set to bring a haul of action in Europe’s most prestigious competition.
You can get closer to this week’s Champions League fixtures, by checking out more than 200 markets that we’re offering for each match.
Pressure on Potter?
Chelsea travelled to Germany last month where they faced Borussia Dortmund and were unsuccessful in their attempts to come away from the game with anything, after they lost 1-0.
Prior to their recent English Premier League win against Leeds United, Graham Potter’s side were six games without a victory in all competitions, and if they go out of the Champions League this week, then there will be an abundance of pressure on the English manager.
PSG shock exit?
Bayern Munich won 1-0 in the first leg in France, thanks to former PSG man Kingsley Coman who scored the only goal of the game.
Kylian Mbappe was not deemed fit enough to start for the French side, but he was brought into action in the second half, and his lively display will certainly give his side confidence that they can come back in the second leg.
Spurs to come back?
Tottenham Hotspur have a difficult task on their hands in the second leg of the Champions League Last 16, after they lost 1-0 against AC Milan in the first leg, credit to a goal from Brahim Diaz in the seventh minute.
Spurs do not come into this fixture in the best form as they have lost their last two games against Championship outfit Sheffield United and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Mainstay defender Eric Dier will miss the second leg due to amassing too many yellow cards leading to suspension, so it will be interesting to see if the North London side can come back and win without one of their main defenders.
