Bayern Munich vs Paris Saint-Germain

26/11 9 p.m.

Most likely to win: Bayern Munich

Under Vincent Kompany, Bayern’s results have been a mixed bag, so a victory would do wonders. PSG hasn’t had much luck in the newly-formatted CL. We’d say Bayern will win here.

Inter Milan vs RB Leipzig

26/11 9 p.m.

Most likely to win: Inter Milan

Inter Milan hasn’t yet lost in its current CL campaign, and it’s showing no signs of slowing down. RB Leipzig is one of the 5 teams that have lost all 4 previous CL games, and will lose here too.

Barcelona vs Brest

26/11 9 p.m.

Most likely to win: Barcelona

Barcelona did what can be expected of it: despite defeat on the first matchday, it’s rebounded with 3 straight victories. Brest has been punching above its weight, but luck will run out here.

Sporting CP vs Arsenal

26/11 9 p.m.

Most likely to win: Arsenal

Sporting CP is, rather surprisingly, second in the ranking at the moment. The Portuguese square off with Arsenal next. Arsenal will rebound from its previous CL defeat with a vengeance.

Liverpool vs Real Madrid

27/11 9 p.m.

Most likely to win: Liverpool

Liverpool is the only team that has won its 4 CL games so far, so the pressure is on to keep the streak going. Real Madrid, still a formidable outfit as it is, will lose at Anfield Road.

Celtic vs Club Brugge

27/11 9 p.m.

Most likely to win: Celtic

Celtic has outperformed teams that are better on paper, so Club Brugge has a worthy opponent. The JPL powerhouse has had relative success so far, but away disadvantage spells defeat here.

Aston Villa vs Juventus

27/11 9 p.m.

Most likely to win: Aston Villa

After a strong start, Aston Villa tasted defeat on the previous matchday. Up next for the EPL side: Juventus. The Old Lady poses a real threat, but in the end, Aston Villa should win this one.

AS Monaco vs Benfica

27/11 9 p.m.

Most likely to win: AS Monaco

Ligue 1 team AS Monaco occupies the third spot on the ranking, not having lost yet in this CL season. Benfica won twice and lost twice. Make that a third defeat for the team from Lisbon.
