The following is an analysis of five matches that will be played on Wednesday, the 24th of February.
23:00 Atalanta vs Real Madrid (UCL Quarter-Finals)
Impressively, the hosts have scored 3+ goals in four of their last five competitive outings at Gewiss Stadium. Real Madrid were eliminated at this stage last season after two 2-1 losses, but enter this clash after winning four La Liga matches in a row.
My prediction: over 2.5 match goals
23:00 B. Mönchengladbach vs Manchester City
Following their 2-1defeat to Mainz at the weekend, BMG doesn't bring the best of form (W1, D2, L1) into their first ever UCL knockout tie. Manchester City meanwhile have won each of their last 18 competitive matches. With the return from injury of skilful playmaker Kevin De Bruyne, City's attack will surely trouble the Germans right from the opening whistle.
My prediction: over 0.5 goals before HT
21:00 Barcelona vs Elche
Barcelona won 2-0 in the reverse fixture and will cherish this clash because the visitors are currently winless in eight La Liga away matches (D3,L5).
My prediction: Barcelona will win
20:45 Groningen vs Feyenoord
Fourth-best entertainers in the Eredivisie who have scored not less than 2 goals in their last four outings travel to Danny Buij's Groningen who have won their last two home games.
My prediction: Both teams will score
20:00 Tottenham vs Wolfsberger AC
They may be stumbling domestically, but Tottenham's 4-1win in the first leg put them just three goals away from becoming the first ever English team to score 100 goals in the UEFA Europa League. Progress now looks somewhat guaranteed, especially as they've won all 22 previous UEFA ties in which they won a first leg on the road.
My prediction: over 0.5 goals before HT
