The world's greatest club competition returns this week with the fourth Matchday of the group stage. The groups are starting to take shape now as we enter the second half of the group stage. Now, each team has already played against all the teams of their group. Things are starting to get spicier as the battle for qualification has begun.
We have some really interesting matches this week. Atletico vs Dortmund, Juventus vs Man Utd, Inter Milan vs Barcelona and Napoli vs PSG are some of the anticipated games this week. As we move on through the group stages, these are the predictions for all the 16 fixtures this week.
AS Monaco vs Club Brugge.
Prediction: 2-1.
Club Brugge were able to get a draw against AS Monaco in Belgium. Barring any surprises this will be the perfect opportunity for Thierry Henry to get his first win as a coach after a disastrous start managing Monaco.
Crvena zvezda vs Liverpool.
Prediction: 0-3.
Although Crvena are in good form in the Serbian super league, it is more than likely it'll a comfortable win for Liverpool. Liverpool would like to get three points and get a firmer grip on the first place in their group.
Atletico Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund.
Prediction: 2-3.
This is one of the most exciting fixture this week. Dortmund were easily able to beat Atletico 4-0 at their home. It will not be that easy for Dortmund playing at the Wanda Metripolitana, but they'll still be the favorites with their recent hot form.
Tottenham Hotspur vs PSV Eindhoven.
Prediction: 3-1.
Even though the first meeting between these two ended with a draw, odds are Tottenham will have a comfortable win at their home. They'll need to win this match if they plan on having any chance to qualify for the round of 16.
Inter Milan vs FC Barcelona.
Prediction: 1-2.
FC Barcelona were looking a bit sloppy in their game against Rayo Vallecano. The Catalan club are one of the favorites to win the tournament. With their recent poor form in away games and especially in Italy, they'll try their best to get a win, maintaining their current form.
Napoli vs Paris Saint Germain.
Prediction: 3-1.
Napoli had completely dominated the game when the two sides met in Paris, but Di Maria's injury time goal saved PSG from defeat. There is a high possibility Napoli will beat them and have an upper hand over them for qualifying for the round of 16.
FC Porto vs Lokomotiv Moscow.
Prediction: 2-0.
Both teams are having a good domestic season. Porto were able to defeat Lokomotiv Moscow at their home in their last meeting. It is more probable that Porto will be able to defeat them and will also maintain a clean sheet.
Schalke 04 vs Galatasaray.
Prediction: 1-0.
Schalke have won their previous two domestic games. Galatasaray were able to get a point at their home in the last meeting between the two teams. Schalke is the superior team between the two sides and they will get a victory against Galatasaray.
CSKA Moscow vs AS Roma.
Prediction: 0-2.
AS Roma got a comfortable 3-0 win against CSKA Moscow in their last meeting. Roma would like to go and get another win to have a chance to finish the group stage as the leaders.
Valencia vs BSC Young Boys
Prediction: 1-0.
Young boys are having a good domestic season but are struggling to perform in the UCL. The last match between these two teams ended in a draw. Valencia should be able to get a victory at their home.
FC Bayern Munchen vs AEK Athens FC.
Prediction: 2-0.
After a slow start to the season Bayern are finally starting to get back to winning ways. FC Bayern were able to defeat AEK in the away game and looks like they'll defeat them again in the home fixture.
S.L Benfica vs Ajax.
Prediction: 0-1.
Benfica are looking very poor after facing three consecutive defeats in their previous three matches. Ajax should be able to take the advantage of their poor form and get a victory.
Olympique Lyonnais vs Hoffenhiem.
Prediction: 2-1.
Following the exciting 6 goal thriller between these two teams resulting in a 3-3 draw, we can expect another interesting match. More than likely Lyon will be able to take the advantage of playing in their own home and manage to get a victory.
Manchester City vs Shaktar Donetsk.
Prediction: 4-1.
Manchester City are one of the favorites to win the Uefa Champions League this season. They'll try to continue their terrific form this season with another home win against Shakhtar.
FC Viktoria Plzeň vs Real Madrid.
Prediction: 0-2.
Real Madrid should utilise this opportunity against a smaller club to get a victory and boost their confidence. It should be an easy fixtute for Real Madrid.
Juventus vs Manchester United.
Prediction: 4-2.
With Manchester United finally finding their form, this should be an interesting match. Cristiano Ronaldo will try to score his first UCL goal this season and get a win for his team.
