    Champions League – Borussia Dortmund vs Real Madrid Predictions

    After already losing to Borussia Dortmund in Germany once this season, Real Madrid reach their third encounter in a completely different mood than the one from six months ago. If someone thought before the match that the Germans might be favorites due to recent history between the clubs, the news of the departure of their biggest star shuffled the deck completely.

    Champions League – Bayern Munich vs Barcelona Predictions

    Even if Bayern Munich are the finest footballing machine we’ve seen in a very long time, it’s hard to think of anyone as clear favorites against a Barcelona team that has the best footballer in the world playing for it, although if he doesn’t, it might mean everyone needs to recalculate their predictions.

  • FA Cup – Chelsea vs Manchester City Predictions

    FA Cup – Chelsea vs Manchester City Predictions

    With the financial prizes of the Champions League, it’s hard to avoid the fact that the FA Cup has lost a bit of its charm and prestige in recent seasons, but it doesn’t mean teams without a chance of winning the league don’t dream of winning it. Chelsea, still not completely certain of their top 4 finish, and quite successful at the competition in recent years, hope that their record this season against Manchester City doesn’t come into play when the teams meet for the fourth time this season.

  • Champions League – Juventus vs Bayern Munich Predictions

    Champions League – Juventus vs Bayern Munich Predictions

    As impressive as Juventus were throughout the season in both the Serie A and the Champions League, it’s hard to believe that they’ll be able to be that much better on a single night of football against a Bayern Munich side many see as the best football team in Europe, heading into the second leg with a confident two-goal lead from the first.

    Champions League – Barcelona vs PSG Predictions

    Will he play or won’t he play is the biggest question surrounding the people at the Barcelona football club, but the bigger question is will they go through or not, enjoying a slight advantage over the visiting Paris Saint-Germain thanks to their two away goals in the first leg, which might not be enough to give them a secure and confident feeling in the second match.

  • Champions League – Galatasaray vs Real Madrid Predictions

    There’s always a chance, but it seems very unlikely that Galatasaray, who haven’t got the most impressive home record in the Champions League this season, not to mention playing without their top scorer and best player, are going to cause some incredible sensation by beating a much better, stronger, talented and well prepared Real Madrid team by scoring four goals in one match.

  • Champions League – Borussia Dortmund vs Malaga Predictions

    Champions League – Borussia Dortmund vs Malaga Predictions

    For both sides, it seems everything is on hold until the matter of who makes it into the semifinals is resolved. Dortmund have been out of the running in the Bundesliga for quite some time, focusing their attention on the home matches in the Champions League. For Malaga, who are finally being bit by that bug of having a short squad, things have been slipping on all fronts.

  • Premier League – Manchester United vs Manchester City Predictions

    Premier League – Manchester United vs Manchester City Predictions

    For Manchester United, who need to have a historic collapse in order to let the Premier League title slip away, it’s about revenge against their city rivals just as much as it is about clinching the league title. For Manchester City, hoping the scenes of the Manchester Derby at Old Trafford from last season make a comeback, it’s about showing that the huge gap between the two sides is a mistake.

  • Champions League – Malaga vs Dortmund Predictions

    Champions League – Malaga vs Dortmund Predictions

    While the recent league form of Malaga has been quite disappointing, their Champions League performances at home should give them plenty of confidence in their quarterfinal clash against Dortmund, a team many feel that despite their lackluster season in their own local competition, are just as capable as the other usual favorites to win the bigger title this season.

  • Champions League – Real Madrid vs Galatasaray Predictions

    Champions League – Real Madrid vs Galatasaray Predictions

    Despite being in excellent form recently, Real Madrid won’t win the league title, and have to throw everything they have at the Champions League, and especially the first leg, played at home, against a surprising Galatasaray side, trying to go where no Turkish side has gone before.
