Champions League matchday 6: tensions mount across Europe!

Matchday 6 of the Champions League is upon us! Once more, on 10 and 11 December, the best teams in Europe go head to head in their hunt for points. So far, Europe’s most prestigious club football league has had plenty of excitement, a few upsets and some surprises. This should be no exception. Let’s see what the situation is in the key games!

RB Leipzig vs Aston Villa

10/12 9 p.m.

Most likely to win: RB Leipzig

RB Leipzig has a few Belgians in the squad, but that’s just one reason to look forward to this encounter. We predict that “die Roten Bullen” will take the win against Aston Villa.

Leverkusen vs Inter Milan

10/12 9 p.m.

Most likely to win: Leverkusen

In this duel between sixth-placed Leverkusen and second-placed Inter Milan, it could come down to home advantage. Sometimes, it’s just that simple, indeed.

Atalanta vs Real Madrid

10/12 9 p.m.

Most likely to win: Real Madrid

Atalanta (with Belgium’s CDK) hasn’t lost in this CL campaign, but at some point, it’ll run out of steam. Real Madrid, meanwhile, will fight for a decisive victory to avoid early elimination.

Club Brugge vs Sporting CP

10/12 9 p.m.

Most likely to win: Sporting CP

Club Brugge’s performances so far have been commendable, but spot 22 out of 36 is probably fair, given the hellish competition at this level. Sporting should win here, though.

Borussia Dortmund vs Barcelona

11/12 9 p.m.

Most likely to win: Barcelona

Clash of the titans ahead! Borussia Dortmund is fourth, Barcelona third. This’ll be a fascinating game to watch, and we predict the visiting team to leave with 3 points in the end.

Juventus vs Manchester City

11/12 9 p.m.

Most likely to win: Manchester City

This duel pits 2 giants of the game in relatively painful shape. Manchester City has a now-infamous drought: a victory against Juventus will do wonders for Guardiola’s men.

Arsenal vs AS Monaco

11/12 9 p.m.

Most likely to win: Arsenal

Another epic thriller just below the top of the standings! Arsenal and AS Monaco may have had similar roads to this matchday, but the Gunners are the stronger side: win for Arsenal.

Brest vs PSV Eindhoven

11/12 9 p.m.

Most likely to win: PSV Eindhoven

It’s fair to say that Brest is a CL revelation this season: the Ligue 1 team is in a shared fifth place. We predict PSV Eindhoven to win in order to hop over its French opponent, though.
