The match between napoli vs ac milan is very difficult to predict. According to the previous meeting ac milan was able to be absolutely dominated the match aginst napoli. There are some problems that will be faced by ac milan in the upcoming matches.

- napoli already confirmed if it will be playing against ac milan without osimhen. Since osimhen was the top scorer of serie a and that is giving a very big impact on napoli.

As has been reported by La Repubblica (via Calciomercato.com), the Nigerian striker was visibly upset when it was confirmed that he is not fit enough to be named in the Champions League squad for the quarter-final first leg against Milan.
Spalletti is having self confidence to win the game against ac milan in the first leg even though napoli will be played without osimhen.

That's very sad to say that napoli didn't have a capable striker for was able to do the same performance as osimhen. That was decreasing the public's confidence in the napoli.

- The defensive line of napoli has become the main concern.
I saw that there have been many blunders by napoli's defenders in the previous meetings. I hope that will be solved asap

I'm also sure that Real Madrid will win today against Chelsea because Chelsea's own performance at this time is still not convincing enough to win the first leg of the Champions League in the current round.
The performances of the two teams in their respective leagues are very different, but I don't fully expect Chelsea to lose without a great fight. Chelsea are a strong team so far, they can rebel at any time even though they have struggled to win many domestic games so far.

On the other hand, Real Madrid is also not completely free from problems. They have struggled to find goals against teams who have a strong defence, so the first leg against Chelsea should be very interesting as Chelsea are a strong team defensively. Chelsea conceded 6 goals from their last 7 matches in all competitions, this statistic is also same from Real Madrid. The problem is, Chelsea is not good enough in goal productivity, while Real Madrid has it. So it must be very interesting to look forward to this match, I hope a draw will be okay.

Today's match was worth watching.
Milan vs Napoli and Madrid will face Chelsea. The conditions are still unpredictable but with the current matches I expect a lot from Madrid and Napoli.
Their focus should be on the Champions League now as Madrid are unlikely to have much to say in La Liga while Napoli are very comfortable with their position in Serie A.
For Madrid I'm pretty sure but Napoli are now a bit anxious when facing Milan especially since it's an away match for their first leg.
I will try to do a multi in this match but there is indeed a consideration that makes me a little hesitant for that.
AC Milan vs Napoli is a game that is difficult to predict, all of this is inseparable from the surprising results of the last match of the two teams when AC Milan was able to win big over Napoli.
and also this is a Champions League match, Napoli is a team that doesn't have the mentality as strong as AC Milan on the European stage.

and for the Real Madrid vs Chelsea match, I have no doubts about the easy victory Real Madrid will get.
Chelsea is currently in poor performance after a series of problems that exist in this team and they have just changed coaches, of course Real Madrid will take advantage of this, especially as Real Madrid will play at home in the first leg, of course Real Madrid wants to win this match with a convincing score.
Remembering the previous match in Serie A where AC Milan was able to win big at home to Napoli, of course, Milan is even more optimistic when they meet again in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals tonight. But in my opinion, the big victory won by Milan is certainly not a benchmark because in the last week's match these two teams showed different results. I see that Milan are still inconsistent but I believe they will give their all to win. I admit that mentally in Europe the Rossoneri are great. But for tonight's match, I still make Napoli my favourite, Spalletti has certainly devised the right strategy to tame Milan at the San Siro.

As for the Real Madrid vs Chelsea match, it is very clear that Madrid is more favored because the opponents they face are being plagued by endless problems. But Ancelotti still has to be wary of Chelsea even though their condition is unstable.

Of course it won't be easy for Napoli today.

I never expected that Manchester City will win this match with three goal margin. My predictions was that the game will be a draw because of the presence of Tuchel, but I was surprise to see Bayern play so badly. City was so strong in that game that I began to wonder if they were really playing against a top class team like Bayern. Thomas Tuchel is still new in the club, so I don't expect him to have instant result because he needs time to fix the team. But the return leg in Allianz Arena might be a different game because the Bayern team has the quality to score goals. If they can fix their defensive errors and attack massively, they might get a good result at home.
It means that you underestimate Manchester City's strength at home even though you know that the probability of winning for Manchester City is more reasonable than Bayern Munich. Tuchel is Bayern Munich's failure this season in the Champions League, I think it has to be right and I don't expect him to hurt Manchester City too much this season in the Champions League after his final win with Chelsea.

I and everyone also know that Manchester City was very good in the first leg match, I even believe that if Yann Sommer's performance is not good, then Bayern Munich might have lost 5-6 goals yesterday. But of course the battle between Manchester City and Bayern is not over where they must determine their fate in the second leg. I hope Manchester City really can play at the same level, meaning they have to attack not defend.

In the second leg which will be played at the Allianz Arena later, Manchester City cannot play defensively, they have to do what they did in this first leg.
I am very sure that the Manchester City coach knows this, that is why the ensured that they made very good use of their home advantage and scored three goals. It is very difficult to imagine this Manchester City side that is doing so well to concede as much as three goals in the second leg but anything is possible still because who would have imagined that Manchester City will win Bayern Munich with such a big goal difference. Right now anything is possible even in the game today with Real Madrid and Chelsea where Chelsea is the team expected to loose, and AC Milan Vs Napoli game where Napoli will want to do their best so that AC Milan do not win them again after winning them before in the Italian league.

Milan vs Napoli

I think this is interesting match because recently both teams has been met each other and surprisingly Milan can able to win with big scores at Napoli home ground and for today too i think Milan players will be excited to faced this match and i am sure the latest winning from Napoli will boosted their mentally

Losing Osimhen apparently had bad impact for Napoli because Napoli looks difficult to scores goals while he was absense and this maybe will be utilized by Milan to resumes their positive results from Napoli but Milan latest performance doesn't really good that last week they even cannot able to beat Empoli at their home ground

Regarding teams conditions after placed Giroud and Leao on the bench last week i am sure Pioli will played them since the beginning of match considering this is important match for Milan and for Napoli so far only Victor Osimhen who unable to play besides that Napoli probably will play with all of their key players and regarding betting options i am sure Spalletti has been evaluate Napoli last lose from Milan and this time Napoli will going to win the match and probably with slim score and Napoli has odds @2.90

City - Bayern ...Oh, what a majestic show from City last night!

My guess was right, City won. But three goals really made Bayern Munchen worse. Tuchel seems to have to work hard to rearrange the strategy in Germany later. Two things that Munchen should not do when losing The defense line that often makes mistakes. Then Tuchel, who looked confused, failed to make the most of the substitutions. Three goals are quite heavy, but looking at possession and opportunities should be Bayern Munchen Can make a surprise later.
Man City giving their all at the Etihad Stadium with a 3-0 goal is a great thing we shouldn't have expected more but this was a bit of a surprise for Pep Guardiola with his team.
Of course 3 goals is not easy even though they will play in Germany later and after all Bayern Munich must be able to reply to this if you want to qualify but do you know that Man City's performance is currently at its peak so it will be very difficult for Tuchel to reply in the first leg , and of course a re-strategy arrangement must be made again to be able to break the deadlock at home.

But honestly I don't think Man City will concede more goals.
In the second leg which will be played at the Allianz Arena later, Manchester City cannot play defensively, they have to do what they did in this first leg. Maybe it will give a big enough gap when they play open, but they also have the opportunity to be able to score again. Conversely if they play defensive then it will make it easier for Bayern Munich to develop their game, and from what I know when teams do that they are more in danger of conceding more goals even if they play defensively. Bayern Munich has a good mentality, I can say they have a good mentality after Real Madrid, so Manchester City cannot be complacent with the 3 goals they scored in the first leg.

I think this stage is already over for Bayern Munich. I don't think they can come back from a 3-0 disadvantage. They don't have a player like Lewandowski who can be a hope for them about this tough task either. Manchester City deserve to advance completely.
Most likely yes but who knows if munchen will able to win like 4-0 against manchester city in the second leg. The same situation like when real madrid was losing against barcelona but madrid was able to beat barcelona with huge scores in copa del rey.

The chance for bayern is still there, but that's very small at this moment. I can't even deny that the defensive line of manchester city is far solid compared with bayern. You can even see that with your eyes. How difficult bayern to create a goal against manchester city.

Bayern was also losing when it comes to the highball. As you can see that so many attacks from bayern were coming from the corner kick. this means if bayern is also losing when it comes to the dual in the air against city's players.

Tuchel was also feeling very disappointed to see the result against city
According to Tuchel, he said that is not yet over to Bayern's defeat against Manchester City. Maybe he will be able to come up with an idea that will see to their victory at home against Manchester City. But in this case, I do not believe Bayern will be able to defeat Manchester City, who are stronger than they are in terms of defense, attack, and midfield play.

I don't think Bayern will be able to win this match, no matter how Tuchel chooses to inspire and deploy the Bayern players against Manchester City. Manchester City has already crossed to another round of the champions league which I strongly believe

last night I don't think any Inter fan would have expected a result like this! after the various bad matches in Serie A no one would have bet a penny on Inter's victory last night! and it was a nice surprise because the second leg will be played at san siro with 80,000 Inter supporters pushing the team to victory, we'll know the verdict on 19 April!
Inter fans did not expect that good result in Portugal but their players made it. Fairly said, Inter Milan did not play too much better than Benfica and their second goal was very lucky. However, that goal is important for Inter Milan to go to semi final because if they only win with 1 goal difference, Benfica will have good confidence that they can win 1 - 0 at Giuseppe Meazza and bring Inter Milan to extra halfs or penalty shoot-out. Fortunatley, with two goal difference after the first leg, chance for Benfica to revert it in the second leg is very small, if not say it is impossible mission.

Manchester City are a really solid team, it is difficult to see or imagine any team that can defeat them seeing how hard working and committed the players are to every game they play. After scoring the first goal, they did not cool things down but went ahead to see how many more goals they will be able to score, and they scored more while still maintaining a clean sheet, Manchester made full use of the home advantage, maybe Bayern can do the same in the second leg. With what I saw in the game, I am wondering why they really replaced their old coach with Tuchel.
Manchester City played well and won big but they even can win bigger and finalize quarter final after the first leg. Some excellent saves from Yann Sommer helped Bayern Munich to avoid a bigger loss and somewhat helped Bayern Munich to have small chance in a second leg. Imagine if Manchester City win 4 - 0 or 5 - 0, we don't have anything to discuss about a second leg in Munich.

I saw the game, the first half was very balanced and Inter were also a bit lucky, but in the second half things changed and Inter played better and in fact managed to score 2 goals and put The second leg is sure, but Benfica will do everything in their power to turn the game around and Inter must be good at trying to score at least one goal to make life difficult for Benfica

It will be almost impossible for Benfica to comeback, and for Napoli-Milan the difference here is that Napoli lost to Milan in league so they will be more prepared this time, this is much more important game then that in Seria A

In the champions league anything can happen. Benfica played very poorly but it is possible that they might come back strong in the second leg. We had expected them to get a good result result at home, but it turned out to be the opposite but it is not over until the end of the second leg.
Napoli-Milan game is unpredictable because Napoli is one of the best in Europe but their recent performance is making me doubt their ability to beat Milan. But based on their past performance, Napoli might win this game convincingly.

Yes, this is very unexpected, before I thought that Bayern Munich had a chance to win this game, or at least get a draw. However, things turned around instead, I saw Bayern Munich's defensive performance decline and made blunders so that Manchester City easily opened the tap for goals through Rodri's spectacular kick which managed to break into Yann Sommer's goal. Yes, it looks like Tuchel will have to make changes in defense and rearrange his best strategy.

Next week Bayern Munich will again face Manchester City in the second leg, let's see if Bayern Munich will appear different to avenge their defeat.

Bayern Munich lost to Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
I've been getting a lot of predictions slightly wrong lately. I knew Manchester City would win Bayern Munich yesterday but I didn't think it would be so easy for Man City. If not for Bayern's goalkeeper, Sommer it would have easily be 5-0 for City. Not factual, but I believe Man City would have had it more difficult if they were against Negelsmann"s Bayern.

Inter Milan won over Benfica in Lisbon, Portugal.
This is a fixture I got totally wrong and I lost money because of it.

Chelsea will be tested by Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu amid a lack of confidence throughout the season and this is Lampard's moment.
AC Milan will welcome Napoli.
Napoli fans still remember their favorite team's defeat at home.

I'm still sticking with a Madrid win in today's game. Lampard's Chelsea are in no shape to win Madrid. I may be in for a surprise again but from the look of thing there will be no surprises in that game.

I was certain Napoli would trash AC Milan but I must confess now I'm not too sure about that. I cant predict this game and I'm not going to bet on it. Let me just enjoy the game.

I wasn't surprised by Manchester City's win, but what I didn't expect were the goals scored in this game. Bayern Munich's defense is easy to penetrate, plus Manchester City has attackers who can turn opportunities into goals. The transition made by Thomas Tuchel has not fully worked out, maybe he still needs time. I wonder if Bayern Munich's second leg match will be better or not.

Inter showed an excellent game, they managed to get the maximum result in such a difficult match, it was hard to imagine a better outcome. For Benfica, this will most likely become an irreparable situation, because Inter can play well in defense.
Inter managed to break predictions from several sites that provide football data and statistics in favor of Benfica being able to win against Inter. This victory is very important for Inter ahead of the second leg which will be played at the Giuseppe Meazza. Inter chances of qualifying for the semifinals are getting bigger. The direction of the second leg was predictable, Inter would defend their victory in the first leg to qualify for the semifinals of the final.
This will bode well for Inter as they have shown great results in the game. Of course, for Leg 2, they won't waste it. Benfica was a bit of a let down as it left everyone hoping for his performance. The same goes for Napoli who also can't seem to underestimate Milan. Because unexpected teams will surprise you in the match later. Real Madrid needs to anticipate Chelsea's game, which so far is considered not good but does not rule out the possibility of doing better in the Champions League.
It will be almost impossible for Benfica to comeback, and for Napoli-Milan the difference here is that Napoli lost to Milan in league so they will be more prepared this time, this is much more important game then that in Seria A

Real Madrid needs to anticipate Chelsea's game, which so far is considered not good but does not rule out the possibility of doing better in the Champions League.
Two goals are big advantage for Inter Milan and with a traditional Catenaccio of Italy, they will be able to protect that advantage in the second leg and move to semi final. It's highly possible to see a semi final pair between two Italian clubs but will we witness a derby Milan in Champions League semi final. The last time it happened is many years ago in 2003 season.

Inter Milan vs AC Milan 10 amazing moments from past Milan derbies.



I think many bets were lost because of Benfica, because it seemed that Benfica should win at home and odds of 2.3 seemed very good and almost perfect, but something went wrong. In contrast to Bayern, Benfica had chances here, but a penalty at the end broke the game and probably deprived Benfica of further chances.
At home Inter will probably play on defense and it will be difficult to score even one goal, let alone two, almost impossible.

So probably we can say that with a probability of 80% Inter and Manchester City will pass on.
Benfica will have to do better than Porto if they want to beat Inter Milan in a second leg with two goal difference. It's not easy if we saw how Inter Milan played very defensive at Dragao stadium but this time it is harder for Benfica as Inter Milan will play at their home in a second leg.

Manchester City just got a big win that looks good for them before a second leg. The key in Munich is whether Bayern Munich can score a first goal early enough to create fear and pressure on Manchester City players. If they succeed to score first and early, they will be able to put Manchester City into another nightmare in Champions League. If Manchester City can maintain a draw after a first half, they will very likely to go to semi final.
