The UEFA Champions League 2021/22 is back with the knockout matches. Eight teams have qualified from the group stage and will battle it out in a historical season where there is no more away goal advantage.
Who’s likely to start, who might be left out, and who is unavailable? We have brought together all the information provided by UEFA, so check out our Champions League tips today.
The football predictions are, as always, from livetipster. So, before you make your selections, you’d better read the injuries and suspensions for the Champions League. We have used several sources to come up with these lists.
Wednesday 09/03/2022
Man City – Sporting
City: Ederson; Cancelo, Stones, Laporte, Zinchenko; Bernardo Silva, Fernandinho, Gündoğan; Sterling, Jesus, Grealish
Out: Rúben Dias (hamstring), Walker (suspended)
Doubtful: Aké (unspecified), Palmer (foot)
Misses next match if booked: De Bruyne, João Cancelo
Sporting CP: Adán; Inácio, Coates, Feddal; Pedro Porro, Ugarte, Essugo, Matheus Reis; Sarabia, Slimani, Nuno Santos
Out: Matheus Nunes (suspended), Bragança (ankle), Pedro Gonçalves (muscular), João Palhinha (groin)
Misses next match if booked: Feddal, João Palhinha, Pedro Porro
Man City vs Sporting prediction
City have already qualified and Guardiola is preparing for a total rotation, which means that any involvement of the home win in a bet combo is not my suggestion. We don’t know the exact approach of Amorim, who may be looking for a victory of consolation in Manchester after the first-leg disaster. Either way, though, Sporting are at least capable of scoring against a tested City defence at training level only.
Tip: BTTS (G/G) at 2.25 – bet365
Real Madrid – PSG
Real Madrid: Courtois; Carvajal, Éder Militão, Alaba, Nacho; Modrić, Kroos, Valverde; Asensio, Benzema, Vinícius Júnior

Out: Ramos (calf), Kurzawa (back)
Doubtful: Hakimi (thigh), Herrera (eye), Mbappé (foot)
Misses next match if booked: Danilo, Kimpembe, Paredes, Verratti
Real vs PSG prediction
Okay, we’ll give it away; Real can at least marginally get the win, which will lead to extra time. It is a prediction that relies on instinct. The Spanish giant is missing two of the three musketeers in midfield (Casemiro and Kroos), but they have the players to replace them in a massive game like this one. On the other hand, Mpappe looks likely to be involved, but he might not be at his best, like he was in the first leg.
Tip: Winner decided in extra time at 8.00 – bet365
