Tuesday's Champions League predictions including Man United vs. Atletico Madrid

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's Champions League fixtures, including Manchester United vs. Atletico Madrid.


Ajax vs. Benfica (Tuesday, 8.00pm)

With the tie delicately poised after a 2-2 draw in the first leg, Ajax and Benfica reconvene for the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie in Amsterdam on Tuesday night.

The Dutch giants warmed up for this encounter with a 3-2 league success at Cambuur over the weekend, while the visitors had to settle for a 1-1 draw with Vizela.

We say: Ajax 3-1 Benfica (Ajax win 5-3 on aggregate)


Ajax need no lessons in putting the ball in the back of the net at home - whether that be against domestic or continental counterparts - and Ten Hag's side can pick Benfica off as the Portuguese side go in search of goals themselves.

While Darwin Nunez is always a threat in and around the box, we cannot back Benfica with any real confidence while a question mark hangs over Yaremchuk's availability, and Ajax will enter this battle as the firm favourites to book their quarter-final tickets.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Man Utd vs. Atletico (Tuesday, 8.00pm)

Manchester United will be looking to book their spot in the quarter-finals of the Champions League when they welcome Atletico Madrid to Old Trafford for the second leg of their last-16 tie on Tuesday night.

The contest is delicately poised at 1-1 following the first leg at Wanda Metropolitano, with Anthony Elanga coming off the bench to register for Man United after Joao Felix had sent Atletico ahead.

We say: Manchester United 2-1 Atletico Madrid


This has all of the makings of a fascinating second leg at Old Trafford, and we are expecting a match with plenty of twists and turns. Atletico will fancy their chances of scoring in Manchester, but we just have a feeling that the home side will do enough to win it in 90 minutes, progressing to the quarter-finals of the competition courtesy of a 3-2 aggregate success.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.
