Who will go through to the next round of the UEFA Champions League?
We’re deep into an exciting football period. This weekend’s Premier League games shook up the league, changing up the standings. But our focus today isn’t on the Premier League, it’s on the UEFA Champions League, as we’re gearing up for the battle to reach the quarter-finals.
Last week, Bayern Munich, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, and Real Madrid secured their spots. Tonight, we find out which two teams will inch closer to lifting the trophy. Who will it be?
At 9 PM, we’re at Emirates Stadium where the Premier League leaders, Arsenal, are steadily carving their path towards the trophy. Portuguese giants FC Porto, riding high in their league, come visiting.
So, we’ve got two teams hungry for victory. Arsenal fans were surprised when Porto won 1-0 in their first last-16 match of the Champions League. But sometimes a setback can be a setup for a comeback—Arsenal’s been on fire, crushing their opponents (just ask Burnley, West Ham, and Sheffield United).
Arsenal faces the risk of being knocked out before reaching the Champions League quarter-finals. They need to bring their A-game at home to stand strong against Porto. At ChampionBet, we’re backing Arsenal, but FC Porto could pull off a surprise in London. You can bet on the match HERE.
The second match, also starting at 9 PM, takes place at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys in Barcelona. Barcelona is getting set for their rematch with Italian club Napoli. Their last Champions League clash ended 1-1, making tonight’s match a balanced affair, though Barcelona enjoys the home advantage. While some may argue Napoli lacks some spark, underestimating them isn’t wise. Historically, Barcelona hasn’t lost to Napoli in their last five encounters, though three ended in draws. We’re leaning towards Barcelona. What about you?
Don’t forget to return to our blog tomorrow, as the fight for the quarter-finals continues. ChampionBet will be there, and you should be too!
