It seems that only these two matches are the easiest to predict for the outcome of the match in the second leg. namely the Napoli vs Frankfurt match and the Club Brugge vs Benfica match. Napoli and Benfica both look like they will be able to win the match with very big chances. because even in the first leg Napoli and Benfica were both able to beat their opponents quite easily. while for other team matches I think there are still many possibilities to be considered.
Chelsea have lost again in the Premier League, and they must chase one goal on aggregate from Borussia Dortmund if they are to be in the quarter-finals. I know they played the first leg before there were better games, but it was just better and it didn't affect their win. Honestly I'm getting pessimistic with Chelsea now to be able to win their second leg match. The reasons are obvious and I don't have to say anymore seeing how Chelsea are right now.
Chelsea's loss in the premier league to Spurs was humiliating and not the level at which the team should be performing. I think it is time to say goodbye and end contract with Graham Potter who has so far not been able to turn the situation around even with the much money invested in improving the squad. Against RB Leipzig is another opportunity to return some level of hope but only if they can get a win. City have been the first to concede a goal too often and they are the best at making very beautiful comebacks. It will be a scoring match at the Etihad because City never play to keep the score and Leipzig have to score and by the way they also like to play scoring football. I expected City to win in the first match, but like last time they left it for the home match.
Well the first match ended with a draw with 1 goal each and as far as i know the away goal rule does not exist anymore since a few years now. This means that RB Leipzig does not really need to score. With the current result the game would go into extra time and the into the penalty shoot out and to get there would already be a pretty big achievement by Leipzig. So my guess would be that Leipzig will try to play more defensively and waiting for opportunities to perform quick counter attacks.
Manchester City looks like the only English team that has better opportunity to qualify for the quarter finals of the Champions League. They will be playing at home in Etihad having the total support of the fans. But RB Leipzig is an underdog that cannot be overlooked because they can maximize slight chances and are willing to defend a goal till end of the match. If Manchester City allow them to get a goal first, the match might become very difficult to win.

Manchester City seem to play differently on most occasions when they play in the Champions league. I barely see the same performance level they exhibit in the Premier league. In the second leg I expect Guardiola to play a better side and go all out to get a win to qualify to the next rounds because it wouldn't look nice if they get knocked out at this stage of the tournament.

Chelsea has no hope of winning against an in form Burussia Dortmund based the club's present performance. The disgraceful lose against Tottenham is a clear indication that they are not fit to move to the next phase of this competition. Todd Boehly have been very patient with Graham Potter and this grace period might run out if they are defeated in Stanford Bridge.
Tottenham's casenis slightly better than Chelsea because they have shown some level of improvement during the match against Chelsea. If the keep improving it is very possible to win Milan.
Real Madrid are still continuing to be Liverpool's nightmare in the Champions League. They are really haunting them and Liverpool are just so desperate to do anything against them. This season is something else for Liverpool. They are having the worst season since Klopp's arrival at the team. We all saw how this reflected on the Real Madrid game as well.
After this horrible defeat I don't expect a miracle from Liverpool obviously. Real Madrid can get another win in Santiago Bernabeu and seal the deal. Maybe Real Madrid are really dominating this tournament in general but Liverpool still should be able to do more with a squad like this normally.
With a 5-2 win in the first leg, Real Madrid will be able to play the second leg more calmly and without pressure. and because this time Real Madrid is the host, it certainly makes Real Madrid even more favoured.After this horrible defeat I don't expect a miracle from Liverpool obviously.

But Real Madrid in LaLiga turned out to be held to a draw by Atletico Madrid. Even though Atletico Madrid only played with 10 players from the 65th minute. because one of the Atletico Madrid players, namely Á. Correa in the 64th minute had to be willing to be sent off for getting a red card and I thought Real Madrid would be able to score after that but it didn't happen and I was a bit disappointed. and so did Liverpool apparently suffer the same fate, namely being held to a draw by Crystal Palace in the Premier League.
But Real Madrid's game is still much better at this time when compared to Liverpool. even though Liverpool also have good players but somehow their game strategy is not very good. sometimes they are too eager to attack and their defense becomes weak and there are many gaps.

of course it will be a tough task for liverpool to beat real madrid in the second leg with such a large aggregate score, obviously real madrid is enough to hold liverpool in the second leg Liverpool will be eliminated from the Champions league this season, Real madrid really have a winning mentality and they always play great in UCL seeing their game that managed to comeback against Liverpool yesterday it doesn't surprise everyone, I think Liverpool need to learn a lot from their defeat yesterday so they can be better in the next game even though it is a difficult task After this horrible defeat I don't expect a miracle from Liverpool obviously.

Liverpool's situation is very bad now. They are not playing well in the Premier League. They also suffered a humiliating defeat against Madrid in the Champions League by conceding 5 goals. Liverpool's performance is weak in both forward and defense positions. It would be foolish to expect a better performance from this team this season. Liverpool's poor performance is largely due to their poor match tactics. If the match strategy was good, they would not have conceded 5 goals against Madrid.
The second leg is a home match for Madrid. And Madrid remains very strong and confident at the Bernabeu. I don't expect a miracle to happen at the Bernabeu and for Liverpool to win. Madrid will dominate and win the home match as usual. Another humiliating defeat awaits Liverpool.
@trendcoin if Potter’s Chelsea fails to knock Dortmund out then he’ll be immediately be sacked, and it’ll be interesting to see who decides to come to Chelsea next. Lastly coming to this match I agree with you’ll that Dortmund is in a better position to knock out Chelsea, hence wagering on Chelsea doesn’t make any sense.
Its seems true about Graham Potter future with Chelsea if knock out by Dortmund on 16th round of Champion League will sack as Chelsea manager due bad result not only in Primer League but failed on champion league. Unbelievable with Chelsea management still trust and not huge pressure with Chelsea performance in this season and potential loss champion league spot standing for next season.Based on domestic league performance, Dortmund have better than Chelsea actually after starting over world cup, Dortmund on the positive trend without loss or draw yet. Got perfect with the winning result and different performance with Chelsea have loss points more in domestic league.
Only a week to go for the rematch of the Bayern Munich - PSG matchup. I think a quite difficult match is waiting for PSG.
I mean it isn't going to be easy for Bayern Munich also but at least they are advantageous now. PSG should have been better with making use of their goal chances in the first leg. It was like they weren't on the field in the first half. But after Mbappe's joining the match they started to be much more effective offensively. Still it wasn't any help for them to score a single goal. But if this time Mbappe and Messi both become a part of the match from the beginning things can get interesting. If PSG fail in eliminating their opponent then Galtier's probability of being sacked would increase.
This match will indeed be a difficult match for PSG because they have lost 1 goal in the first leg match. so in this second leg PSG will have to fight harder to score more than 1 goal. And on the one hand bayern will certainly be more comfortable because they are playing at home this time. and they have excelled in the first leg. They just had to fight to ensure victory. But if PSG makes Mbappe a starter then maybe the direction of the game will turn in favor of PSG. Because in the first leg in the second half when Mbappe was played, there was a change in the game in the PSG team which became more aggressive and the pattern of attacks became more dangerous for Bayern goal. Mbappe even scored a goal at that time but was declared invalid because he was in an offside position. I mean it isn't going to be easy for Bayern Munich also but at least they are advantageous now.

In addition to all this, when we look at the matchup, we see a Borussia Dortmund having a great season following Bayern Munich very closely in the BundesLiga. In the first match, they did not give any clear goal chances to Chelsea. Honestly, Chelsea have been struggling to score and find scoring positions this season, but Borussia Dortmund defended really well in the first game. If they play with the same seriousness in the second match, they may go to the next round without conceding a goal.
Dortmund is on good days and they are racing in their league for the first position in the table especially recently if we check the mathes they were playing pretty well against any team while Chelsea is not in a good situation at all even fans are waiting to see their coach getting fired soon because of the performance of him during this season so we don't expect a lot from Chelsea.
My prediction is that Chelsea will fall after the match in the second leg, Chelsea inconsistent appearance is very difficult to find victory with a difference of 2 goals. Chelsea who have never tasted victory in the last five matches in the Premier League have not been able to provide competition for a team like Dortmund, especially since they have just been beaten by Tottenham in their last game.

Anything can happen indeed but realistically yeah liverpool must be aware that they have to surrender as their condition in the domestic league is not okay as well , plus the aggregate way too great for them to score 3-0 or 5 goals at least in case real madrid scored.After this horrible defeat I don't expect a miracle from Liverpool obviously.

Tough job at bernabeu for jurgen klopp, another mission impossible.

comebacks became a signature move for Real Madrid after they were losing against Liverpool 2-0 and won 2-5, three goals difference is too much for Liverpool to get back from especially in Santiago Bernabeu and against a team like Real Madrid, I definitely don't see it happening, Liverpool aren't doing well this season, they're suffering big time.

Best position that could happen to Bayern. Beating Union Berlin and then seeing Dortmund play against Leipzig next. If anything is going to make this season interesting, Dortmund must win this game I guess.
I thought that Union Berlin is a hard nut to crack, but in this game Bayern was just superior.
For now it comes down to Dortmund.
Dortmund has been playing well enough that they could beat Leipzig as well, of course there is no guarantee, as I always say even Bayern could lose to Schalke and we shouldn't be shocked because we have been experiencing like this many times.I thought that Union Berlin is a hard nut to crack, but in this game Bayern was just superior.
For now it comes down to Dortmund.
But, if Dortmund and Bayern keeps winning for a few more games and they basically get away from everyone and be the top two clearly? That should give a ton of viewing pleasure, in fact even if they end up losing, the fact that teams are close to each other says a lot about the league. It's not Bayerns league that they dominate anymore, it's close to each other and a few losses could see you drop as further as out of UCL, so everyone including Bayern should be careful.
I doubt that Schalke can beat Bayern these days, really that is not the case or it would have to be an unlucky turn of events like the early red card against Gladbach.
Bayern has problems to play a constant game. Now against Union Berlin that was the Bayern we all know, but they lost lots of points during the first half of the season as well. Now I hope that Dortmund remains at that level until at least they are playing against Bayern on April 1st. That would finally be a fun game to watch. The last time we had a close finish at the end of the season was in 18/19, but Dortmund won only 3 out of their last 5 games back then and the same happened to Bayern. That is when you need to be ready to go for it.

The match against leipzig gonna be a very important match. It's even more important compared with EPL match. I guess that if it's pep's dream to give city UEFA champion league trophy. Pep will be so happy if he can give a trophy that already targeted since a previous seasons.
I think that guardiola already spent the first leg to be used to go all in the second leg. I just see that the decision for not substrituting the player as a trick to fool leipzig. The second leg gonna be crazy for manchester city.

All odd favours Man City to win the second leg against Leipzig but we know how Manchester City can be in situations like this. Somehow they always fumble the opportunities they have against relatively lesser teams at this point of the competition. Man City had every opportunity to win the first leg but they kept missing all their chances and that might hunt them later. Things like this keep the hope of their opponent alive. It would make them start believing that they can actually knock out Man City, so they'll go into the second leg and play out their lives because they've got nothing to lose.
Man City have to be very careful not to underrate Leipzig because we've seen them do that time and again and it always hunts them.

As far as staying in the Champions League is concerned, PSG should strive much harder and this may be a match between the top German team and the top French team since both teams spent a lot on hiring superstar players, but PSG spent a lot more and they got players like Messi and Mbappe, so it is obvious that the fans are expecting a lot more from this team to take revenge and defeat Bayern Munich, which is not an easy task for any team to accomplish.
It's just that the possibility still exists in this case, although in fact I'm not too sure this possibility can be true or not because their current condition, with their different experience with Bayern in the Champions League, clearly this will also make a difference.

Manchester City have the best attack in the world and they probably have the best depth in the world but they have not been performing great this season and I do not know why they have not been converting their chances like they have in previous seasons. I think Haaland is a good player but I think they have become too dependent on him and when he does not score it is left to players like Jack Grealish who are not proven goal scorers against the top teams and I think that is why they are struggling.
Do you mean globally or just in the Premier League? Since emotions and loyalty to a team cause fans to become one-sided with facts, I will have to side with Real Madrid before they sold Casemiro. However, I do have some faith in Manchester City to score two goals against Leipzig in the second leg to secure their place in the quarterfinals. If they lose to a team like that, it will make them appear weak and unreliable.
I don't believe Manchester City has been overly dependent on Haaland; in fact, when he wasn't present for matches, they were doing just well and winning Trophies before he became signed, he is just another goal-scoring machine who has given them consistency in winning.
