UCL

The results of this week's games, the second set of first-leg matches, should prove easier to call. Famous last words, perhaps, but favourites Manchester City and Bayern Munich should ease by Borussia Monchengladbach and Lazio, respectively. The tightest match to call is Atletico Madrid versus Chelsea, though we opt for the Spaniards, while Real Madrid should also triumph over Atalanta.

The last 16 kicks off this week: Barcelona should win at the Nou Camp as PSG miss Neymar; expect a draw on neutral ground between Liverpool and RB Leipzig; while Juventus and Dortmund should win away, over Porto and Sevilla, respectively.

With domestic leagues giving their players a break, now seems like a good opportunity to take stock of the Champion's League at the mid-way point of the group stage. Not everything has gone to plan. Four teams remain unbeaten - Bayern Munich, Manchester City, Liverpool and Barcelona.
