UEFA Champions League Round of 16 Games and their Predictions
Olympique Lyon vs Juventus
The Groupama Stadium will host Wednesday’s UEFA Champions League round of 16 games which is between Olympique Lyon and Juventus. The home side booked their place in through the knockout stage after a 2-2 with Leipzig. Les Gones has been undefeated in the previous eight home games in the UEFA Champions League. But the key player of the team former Manchester United man Memphis Depay is sidelined with injury and so home win should not be considered.
The Old Ladyboys have also been impressive in the league and four-times Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo has been scoring for fun. Even if the away team will not be able to win the UEFA Champions League round of 16 game, we are sure they will find the back of the net. Seeing that Juve are seen as one of the main favourites to win the Champions League trophy, we believe that they are going to prove their worth on the field. Away win or draw is our prediction.
Real Madrid vs Manchester City
All eyes will be on Estadio Santiago Bernabeu when Real Madrid and Manchester City face each other in the UEFA Champions League round of 16 first leg. Manchester City received a ban from the elite competition for two seasons, and so will do everything possible to ensure they win this one. We are positive that Pep Guardiola’s men will give 100% to the game. Manchester City are likely to stick to their attacking style of play, but the game will not be an easy one.
Real Madrid has not been in the best of form of late, they lost to Levante in their domestic and dropped to the second place position. Real Madrid has all their players ready and so an interesting game is expected. Madrid defense will have England attacker Raheem Sterling who they putting eyes on in the next transfer window. For the home side only Eden Hazard is doubtful for the game, Zinedine Zidane can count on other players. Seeing that both teams are scoring sides we predicting that both teams to score will be a wise decision.
