UCL: Last 16, Second leg - Few surprises expected

We're not expecting any surprises from the first four second-leg matches - three of the teams now playing at home go into the game with away-goal leads, and there's little to suggest that they wont see the job through.

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.
