Napoli v Real Madrid (1-3) – Tuesday

Napoli took the lead in Madrid but did not keep their calm and ended up with a 2 goal deficit. They need to play at their best to overcome Madrid’s obstacle. The win against Roma was the perfect push in the weekend when Mertnes continued his extraordinary streak with 2 more goals. He has now scored 16 goals in 15 matches.

Real is too experienced to lose this, but they were knocked out in the last 4 of 5 cases where they had a 3-1 advantage! Crazy for a team like Madrid, but stats is stats. Real is 1 point behind Barcelona in La Liga, but hold a game in hand. They come from a 1-4 win at Eibar. The great BBC has come back together in the Merenges attack.

There is good value at the draw.

Possible line-ups
Napoli: Reina; Hysaj, Koulibaly, Albiol, Ghoulam; Zieliński, Diawara, Hamšík; Callejón, Mertens, Insigne.
Doubtful: Allan (thigh), Mertens (calf)

Madrid: Navas; Carvajal, Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo; Kroos, Casemiro, Modrić; Bale, Benzema, Ronaldo.
Out: Varane (thigh), Coentrão (muscular problem)

Arsenal v Bayern (1-5) – Tuesday

For once more Arsenal did half the job in the first leg. They were 1-1 at HT but ended with a KO. They now chase a miracle to overcome Bayern and the pressure on Arsene Wenger and his players is building up. Ozil has been ill and is a major doubt, while Elneny, Cazorla and Ramsey is a set of players that none of the managers would like to be missing at the same period.

Bayern has been stronger than any other part of the season and prove it week in week out. They managed to go 7 points clear in the Bundesliga, march on the German Cup and are only a ‘sensible performance’ away from the Champions League quarter-finals. Neuer is a doubt and the 5-1 allows him to be on the bench.

This could be another high scoring game. Over 3.5 goals could prove the right bet.

Possible line-ups
Arsenal: Ospina; Bellerín, Mustafi, Koscielny, Monreal; Coquelin, Xhaka; Oxlade-Chamberlain, Iwobi, Walcott; Sánchez.
Doubtful: Özil (illness)
Out: Elneny (ankle), Ramsey, Cazorla (ankle), Mertesacker (knee)

Bayern: Ulreich; Rafinha, Martínez, Alaba, Bernat; Kimmich, Thiago, Müller; Costa, Robben; Lewandowski.
Out: Lahm (suspended)
Doubtful: Neuer (calf)
