Tuesday's Champions League predictions including Barcelona vs. Juventus

Sports Mole provides score predictions for all of Tuesday's Champions League fixtures, including Barcelona vs. Juventus and RB Leipzig vs. Manchester United.


Zenit vs. Dortmund (Tuesday, 5.55pm)

Borussia Dortmund will be looking to secure first position in Group F when they travel to Russia to face Zenit St Petersburg in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

BVB, who have already qualified for the last-16 stage of the competition, are currently top of the section, one point clear of second-placed Lazio, while Zenit will finish bottom regardless of what happens on the final matchday, having only picked up one point from five matches.

We say: Zenit St Petersburg 1-2 Borussia Dortmund


Zenit, despite their poor Champions League campaign, are certainly capable of making it difficult for a Dortmund side missing a number of key players. The Bundesliga outfit still have a lot of quality, though, and we fancy the visitors to pick up a narrow win in Russia.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Lazio vs. Brugge (Tuesday, 5.55pm)

Unbeaten Lazio and direct rivals Club Brugge clash in Rome on Tuesday night, with the Italian side holding an edge in the race to progress from Champions League Group F.

Simone Inzaghi's side have nine points so far, one behind already-qualified Borussia Dortmund and two above Brugge, with whom they drew 1-1 in the reverse fixture. Another draw would therefore be enough for Lazio to make the knockout rounds; Brugge simply must win to go through.

We say: Lazio 2-1 Club Brugge


Though Lazio will be most observers' favourites to progress - justifiably so, given they only need to avoid defeat - it may not be a straightforward passage into the last-16 for Simone Inzaghi's overworked side.

Brugge have had an awful record in the Champions League in recent times but have demonstrated enough potential this term to suggest they can take it to the wire before falling to glorious failure once again - life in the Europa League awaits.

Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.

Chelsea vs. Krasnodar (Tuesday, 8.00pm)

Chelsea will be aiming to stretch their winning run in the Champions League to five matches when they welcome Russian side FC Krasnodar to Stamford Bridge for Tuesday's final group-stage encounter.

The Blues have already confirmed their first-place finish in the group, whereas Krasnodar will drop down to the Europa League ahead of this dead rubber.

We say: Chelsea 3-0 FC Krasnodar


This game means very little for both teams who are already assured of their places in the group, and Krasnodar can therefore afford to play without fear when they make the long journey to the English capital. However, even with numerous changes, Chelsea should still have too much firepower for the Russian side and we are backing Lampard's men to march to another convincing victory in Europe.

Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.

Rennes vs. Sevilla (Tuesday, 8.00pm)

Rennes welcome Sevilla to the Roazhon Park in Tuesday's Champions League dead rubber, with both sides already seeing their fates sealed in the most recent round of fixtures.

The hosts are resigned to a fourth-placed finish, whereas Sevilla have secured second spot and a place in the last 16 of Europe's premier competition.

We say: Rennes 1-2 Sevilla


Neither of these two teams need to employ a gung-ho attitude for a meaningless victory here, with both managers undoubtedly focused on avoiding any more injuries with crucial league matches coming up. Rennes and Sevilla should name significantly altered starting lineups, but given the respective form of the two sides over the past couple of months, we are backing Sevilla to travel back to Spain with three points in the bag.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Barcelona vs. Juventus (Tuesday, 8.00pm)

Barcelona will be looking to secure first position in Group G when they welcome Italian champions Juventus to Camp Nou in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

Both sides have already booked their spot in the last-16 stage of the competition, while Barca have a three-point cushion over second-placed Juve, meaning that the Old Lady have serious work to do if they are to snatch first position from Ronald Koeman's side on the final matchday.

We say: Barcelona 1-1 Juventus


Both managers are expected to select strong teams for this match despite the fact that the two sides are already through to the next round. Barca's Champions League form this season has been excellent, but we fancy Juve to secure a share of the spoils at Camp Nou on Tuesday night.

Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.

Dynamo Kiev vs. Ferencvaros (Tuesday, 8.00pm)

Dynamo Kiev and Ferencvaros will lock horns in their final Champions League group-stage fixture on Tuesday night with a position in the knockout round of the Europa League up for grabs.

Both teams have collected one point from their five Group G matches, but the chance to claim third and a position in the Europa League makes this contest incredibly important for the two sides.

We say: Dynamo Kiev 1-2 Ferencvaros


Both sides will fancy their chances of securing third spot in the section, but we just have a feeling for Ferencvaros in this match. The visitors arguably have the more productive players in the final third of the field, and we can see the Hungarian outfit shading a very tight game in Kiev.

Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.

PSG vs. Istanbul (Tuesday, 8.00pm)

Paris Saint-Germain will be aware that nothing less than a victory will do when they welcome Istanbul Basaksehir to the Parc des Princes for their final encounter in Champions League Group H.

PSG sit on nine points in the group alongside Manchester United and RB Leipzig, whereas Istanbul are the only team not in contention for a top-two finish and have nothing but pride to play for here.

We say: Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 Istanbul Basaksehir


PSG cannot afford to beat around the bush or try and score the perfect goal in this game - ensuring that his side come away with all three points is of paramount importance to Tuchel here. Even with a weakened team, PSG still trounced Montpellier on their own turf at the weekend, and we expect the Ligue 1 champions to book their place in the last 16 with a resounding victory over an out-of-sorts Istanbul Basaksehir side on Tuesday.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Manchester United will be looking to book their spot in the last-16 stage of the Champions League when they face RB Leipzig in Germany on Tuesday night.

The English giants are level on nine points with both Leipzig and Paris Saint-Germain in a fascinating Group H and need to avoid defeat at the Red Bull Arena in order to progress to the knockout round.

We say: RB Leipzig 2-2 Manchester United


United only need a point to progress to the knockout stage, and we fancy the English giants to have enough to advance. Leipzig have conceded six goals in their last two matches, and Solskjaer's side are certainly capable of harming the Bundesliga outfit, as they demonstrated at Old Trafford in the reverse game.

Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.
