Shay's Prediction: Aston Villa 2-1 PSG

Tue 15 Apr, 20:00

9/4
Back an Aston Villa win
BET NOW

It started so well for Villa out in Paris last week but obviously that third goal for PSG in the final minute was a bit of a killer for Unai Emery's side.

We know PSG are very dangerous on the break and we witnessed that at Anfield against Liverpool a few weeks ago. So I'm afraid that my old team might go out here.

I think Villa could win on the night but that PSG will do enough to go through.

Shay's Prediction: Real Madrid 3-1 Arsenal

Wed 16 Apr, 20:00

1/7
Back Arsenal to qualify
BET NOW

What a game it was last week. Arsenal were absolutely unbelievable and Declan Rice will probably never hit two better free-kicks than that again in his life, let alone in the same match!

I feel like Arsenal's best form of defence is attack in this one. I can see them scoring out in Madrid but they could definitely still lose the game as well. That said, I think Real have a mountain to climb and they're struggling a bit at the moment so I don't think they'll pull off the full comeback.

Shay's Prediction: Man United 2-0 Lyon

Thu 17 Apr, 20:00

4/6
Back a Man United win
BET NOW

It was a tough game last week for Andre Onana in the Manchester United goal, with two poor goals conceded. It'll be interesting to see what Ruben Amorim does in terms of keeper selection.

I do believe Manchester United should have enough to go through though and I'll back them to get the job done with a rare clean sheet.

Shay's Prediction: Frankfurt 1-1 Tottenham

Thu 17 Apr, 20:00

13/5
Back a draw
BET NOW

After a one all draw in the first leg last week, this is a really tough ask for Spurs. I think any side that goes away to Germany for a European tie is in for a difficult game and this one could go right to the wire.

Obviously from an English football point of view I'd like to see Spurs advance to the next round and I'll back them to do so on penalties, but yeah, a draw after 90 minutes in this one.
