CHAMPIONS LEAGUE: QUARTER FINAL Second Leg LEG BETTING TIPS
The excitement is building as the Champions League returns to our screens after last week's thrilling fixtures in the first legs of the quarter-finals.
All eight teams found the back of the net across the four fixtures, but only two sides have an advantage heading into this week's decisive second legs.
Arsenal and Bayern Munich played out a 2-2 draw at the Emirates Stadium, while Real Madrid and Manchester City's tie finished 3-3 in the Spanish capital.
Borussia Dortmund trail 2-1 to Atletico Madrid, while Barcelona claimed a slender 3-2 advantage after beating Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes.
Tip 1: Borussia Dortmund to beat Atletico Madrid @ 6/5
Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid held off a late fightback from Dortmund to win the first leg last week, but they will be up against it at Signal Iduna Park.
While the Spanish giants have won three games in a row, their away form has been patchy, to say the least. Simeone's men have won only one of their last seven on the road in all competitions, failing to score in four of those matches.
Dortmund will be cheered home by a sell-out crowd, and Edin Terzic's side have been difficult to beat in Europe at home.
Terzic's men have lost just two of their last 20 games at home in the Champions League, and they should be able to come out on top after 90 minutes.
Tip 2: Over 3.5 goals - Barcelona v PSG @ 5/4
After a five-goal thriller at the Parc des Princes, Barcelona and PSG will meet again at the Camp Nou this week, and we could be in for another entertaining battle.
Barcelona are hoping to reach the final four of the Champions League for the first time since 2019, while PSG's hunger for success in Europe is as strong as ever as they prepare to lose Kylian Mbappe this summer.
Xavi's side have a narrow one-goal advantage after the first leg, and they have now won six in a row in all competitions.
Barcelona have kept four clean sheets in their last five league games at home, but PSG's free-flowing attack should be too hot to handle.
There have been 49 goals between the two sides in the 13 previous Champions League meetings, and Tuesday's game should follow the same blockbuster script.
PSG have scored in all but one of their games in 2024, so expect both teams to leave everything out on the pitch.
Tip 3: Bayern Munich to beat Arsenal @ 7/5
Fans of both Bayern Munich and Arsenal will need something to smile about after last weekend's results. Bayern watched Bayer Leverkusen win the Bundesliga title, while Arsenal fell to a 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa, which could have devastating implications for their title charge.
The two teams played out a 2-2 draw at the Emirates, but Bayern may have too much experience at this level for Mikel Arteta's side.
Bayern were unfortunate not to be awarded a penalty against the Gunners, and at home they will feel confident of winning. Thomas Tuchel's side have lost only twice at the Allianz Arena this season, and there's every chance Arsenal's players have not recovered from the shock of their defeat to Villa and what it could mean for their title prospects.
Tip 4: Over 2.5 goals - Manchester City vs Real Madrid @ 3/5
After last week's 3-3 draw at the Santiago Bernabeu, there's plenty of excitement building going into the second leg.
Pep Guardiola's team beat Carlo Ancelotti's side on their way to winning the treble last season and history could repeat itself this term.
City are unbeaten in 27 matches in all competitions, while Real Madrid have not lost any of their last 15.
It looks almost impossible to pick a winner after 90 minutes, but the goals should flow. Only one of the last six meetings between the pair since 2020 have featured fewer than 2.5 goals, and this encounter should follow a similar pattern as two of the best sides in world football try to showcase what they can do on the biggest stage.
