Champions League Last 16 Tips: Barcelona vs Napoli & Bayern Munich vs Chelsea

Napoli drew 1-1 in their first-leg game with Barcelona with the Catalan side scoring an away goal. Elsewhere, Chelsea suffered a 3-0 defeat to German champions, Bayern Munich at Stamford Bridge.

Napoli travel to the Camp Nou knowing they will need to find a way past Marc-Andre Ter-Stegen to have any chance of progression. It’s an even more uphill task for Frank Lampard’s Chelsea who need at least three goals. Read today’s Champions League predictions and betting tips below.

Barcelona vs Napoli Prediction

Barcelona to Win – 8/13 at bet365.

Lionel Messi to Score – 8/13 at bet365.

Barcelona missed out on the La Liga title by five points losing out to rivals Real Madrid. They went unbeaten in the Champions League group stage, topping their group ahead of Borussia Dortmund. Since the restart, they have lost just once, a 2-1 defeat to Osasuna.

Napoli finished 7^th in Serie A after a mixed restart. The Italian side drew two and lost three of their ten games since the start of July. They went unbeaten during the Champions League group stage, picking up four points against current holders Liverpool.

Barcelona’s away goal could be significant as the Catalan side look to salvage their season. Neither side have lost a European game this season but Barcelona will be favourites for this one. No player in Europe’s top five leagues has directly contributed to more goals than Lionel Messi this season.

 

Bayern Munich vs Chelsea Prediction

Bayern to Win to Nil – 13/8 at bet365.

Bayern to Score 3+ Goals – Yes – 11/10 at bet365.

Bayern Munich won the Bundesliga yet again as they went unbeaten after the restart. They also claimed the DFB Pokal, meaning they’ve won every game since returning to competitive action.

The German champions topped their Champions League group ahead of Tottenham and have a 3-0 lead heading into their second leg at home to Chelsea.

Chelsea finished their Premier League season in fourth place securing a Champions League spot for next year. That is just as well as the Blues have almost zero chance of winning the competition this year. Lampard’s side squeezed through the group stage in second place but come into this game with injuries to key players in Azpicueta, Kanté, and Pulisic.

Bayern are regarded by many as the best team in Europe right now and will surely win once again to confirm their spot in the last eight of this year’s Champions League.
