class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Although struggling domestically, Al Hain-Cole expects the prolific visitors to pose plenty of problems for Guardiola's side in the Champions League

Manchester City will be looking to put one foot in the Champions League semi-finals when they welcome Borussia Dortmund to the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday.

Pep Guardiola’s men are desperate to match recent domestic dominance with European success, having only ever made it past the quarter-finals once – suffering elimination at this stage in each of the last three seasons.

However, they are clear 1/3 (1.33) favourites with bet365 to set themselves up for a place in the final four by taking an aggregate lead to Germany by coming out on top.

Dortmund have only won one of their last five matches in all competitions but can be backed at 7/1 (8.00) to take the upper hand with a shock victory here.

The sides shared a 1-1 draw in their only previous meeting at this ground back in 2012, and you can get odds of 9/2 (5.50) on them cancelling each other out once again.

Manchester City vs Borussia Dortmund Team News

With a fully fit squad to choose from, Joao Cancelo, Ilkay Gundogan, Phil Foden and Raheem Sterling are likely to return to the starting line-up after being rested for Saturday’s win over Leicester.

Dan-Axel Zagadou, Marcel Schmelzer, Axel Witsel, and Jadon Sancho are all ruled out, while Youssoufa Moukoko will face a late fitness test.

Manchester City vs Borussia Dortmund Preview

Although domestic form sees them well adrift of the Champions League places, Edin Terzic’s team is still more than capable of causing problems for a home team that has suffered eliminations against Lyon, Tottenham, Liverpool and Monaco in the last four seasons.

Indeed, the side spearheaded by the irrepressible Erling Haaland has not failed to find the net in 37 matches – averaging over two goals a game in that time.

While they have kept seven consecutive clean sheets in this competition, the Citizens have conceded in four of their last five home matches in all competitions – although have only failed to score once in 34 fixtures themselves.

Manchester City vs Borussia Dortmund Tips and Predictions

All in all, odds of 4/5 (1.80) look well worth backing on Dortmund joining City on the scoresheet in an exciting Champions League clash at the Etihad.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The defending champions are odds-on favourites to claim a first leg win and our tipster thinks there is value in backing the hosts to do exactly that

Champions League holders Bayern Munich welcome Paris Saint-Germain to the Allianz Arena on Wednesday evening in the first leg of the quarter-final in a repeat of last season’s showpiece.

Hansi Flick’s side overcame PSG 1-0 in the final last August and the Bundesliga outfit are clear favourites to claim another victory this week.

Bayern Munich vs PSG Latest Odds

The hosts are unbeaten in the Champions League since March 2019, recording 18 wins from their last 19 games in the tournament.

Bayern are offered at 20/23 (1.87) with bet365 to add another victory to that run, while the visitors can be backed at 11/4 (3.25) with the draw at 29/10 (3.90).

Bayern Munich vs PSG Team News

The German champions are without top scorer Robert Lewandowski, who picked up a knee injury while on international duty with Poland, with Douglas Costa and Corentin Tolisso also both injured and Serge Gnabry out after a positive COVID-19 test.

Marco Verratti and Alessandro Florenzi also tested positive for coronavirus, whilst Leandro Paredes us suspended and Danilo Pereira a doubt with a calf problem.

Bayern Munich vs PSG Preview

Even without Lewandowski, Bayern have enough firepower to be rightly considered favourites and the absence of Verrati in midfield is of almost equal importance to PSG.

Indeed, without Verratti this season, PSG have lost at home to Manchester United, away to RB Leipzig, home and away against Monaco and most recently at home to Lille at the weekend.

The French champions are struggling more so than in any recent season, and while they blew away Barcelona in the first leg of their last-16 clash, the second leg saw them concede 21 shots to the Catalans.

If they afford a similar number of chances to Bayern, the hosts will win comfortably considerinf the absence of Lewandowski.

Bayern Munich vs PSG Tips and Predictions

Bayern to win looks like a solid bet and a tempting price, while for a value bet backing a home win at both teams to score at 11/5 (3.20) could appeal.

The Bavarians have conceded in seven of their last nine matches, and while they are worthy favourites to win, a clean sheet might be beyond them.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Away from their home ground and without a couple of key players, Al Hain-Cole can't see the Dragoes pulling off another shock against Tuchel's men

Porto will be aiming to cause another upset when they take on Chelsea at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan in Wednesday’s Champions League clash.

The Dragoes knocked out Juventus in exciting fashion in the last round, albeit with their victorious home leg being played in their own Estadio Do Dragao rather than a neutral venue.

Porto vs Chelsea Latest Odds

Nevertheless, they can be backed at 4/1 (5.00) with bet365 to give themselves the advantage by pulling off a shock win over the 2012 champions in Seville.

Thomas Tuchel saw his 14-match unbeaten start to life in west London brought to an end by a shock 5-2 defeat at home to West Brom at the weekend, but his side are clear 3/4 (1.75) favourites to put that behind them with a win here.

None of the eight previous Champions League meetings between this duo have resulted in draws, but there are odds of 5/2 (3.50) available on them cancelling each other out in this one.

Porto vs Chelsea Team News

Sergio Oliveira and Mehdi Taremi are both ruled out due to suspension, while Ivan Marcano and Mouhamaed Mbaye are injured and Malang Sarr ineligible to face his parent club.

Christian Pulisic is unlikely to feature after suffering a recurrence of his hamstring injury against West Brom, with N’Golo Kante also fighting a losing battle for fitness.

Porto vs Chelsea Preview

Having won three of their four home matches in this season’s competition – also earning a creditable draw against a Manchester City team that has won every single other game – Sergio Conceicao’s men can feel aggrieved to be playing this fixture on neutral territory.

Responsible for three of the four goals against Juventus, Oliveira and Taremi’s absence is another major blow to their chances of upsetting the odds against a team that eased past Atletico Madrid in impressive style in the last 16.

Indeed, the Blues had conceded just two goals in 14 games under their new manager prior to the West Brom collapse, a match that must surely be put down as a blip not helped by Thiago Silva’s early dismissal.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Citing a lack of cutting edge in recent home games, Al Hain-Cole is expecting more frustration for the Gunners against Trpisovsky's robust outfit

Arsenal will be looking to take the upper hand in their Europa League quarter-final clash with Slavia Prague when the sides meet at the Emirates Stadium on Thursday.

The Gunners come into this game on the back of a humbling 3-0 defeat at home to Liverpool last weekend, their third match without a win in all competitions.

Arsenal vs Slavia Prague Latest Odds

Nevertheless, they are clear 11/20 (1.55) favourites with bet365 to put themselves on top in this tie with a fifth win in five Europa League matches at home this season.

However, Jindrich Trpisovsky’s team has knocked out Leicester City and Rangers in their last two knockout stage ties and can be backed at 5/1 (6.00) to upset another British opponent by coming out on top here.

Just one of the hosts’ 10 matches in this season’s competition has resulted in a draw, but you can get odds of 16/5 (4.20) on them being held to a stalemate in this one.

Arsenal vs Slavia Prague Team News

Arsenal trio Granit Xhaka, Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe are all back in training following injury, although Kieran Tierney and David Luiz are both ruled out.

Ondrej Kudela has been suspended as UEFA investigate his alleged racist abuse of Rangers’ Glen Kamara, while Ondrej Kolar and David Hovorka are both injured and Ibrahim Traore doubtful.

Arsenal vs Slavia Prague Preview

After scoring 14 goals in their first four home matches in this season’s Europa League, Mikel Arteta’s men seemed to lose their cutting edge in a 1-0 defeat at home to Olympiakos last time out.

Having also looked completely bereft of attacking impetus in their subsequent home match against Liverpool at the weekend, they will be concerned about the prospect of taking on a Czech side that has proved a tough nut to crack in the knockout stages.

Indeed, Slavia conceded just a single goal in four fixtures against Leicester and Rangers, keeping a clean sheet in both away legs.

Arsenal vs Slavia Prague Tips and Predictions

Coming into this clash on the back of four successive clean sheets in all competitions, they look well worth the 10/11 (1.91) price to ensure under 2.5 goals for a fifth Europa League game in a row when they face a struggling Arsenal side.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The hosts have made it through to the Europa League last-eight despite poor domestic form and our tipster is backing the Red Devils in the first leg

Manchester United travel to the Estadio Nuevo Los Carmenes on Thursday evening to face Granada in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men are second in the Premier League and clear favourites against the La Liga side who have vastly exceeded expectations in their first-ever continental campaign.

Granada vs Manchester United Latest Odds

Diego Martinez’s side have seen off the likes of Napoli and PSV in their run to the last eight of the competition and bet365 price them at 11/2 (6.50) to claim a first leg success.

The visitors, meanwhile, have won both of their away games in the competition – triumphing 4-0 at Real Sociedad and 1-0 in Milan in the previous rounds.

United can be backed at 4/7 (1.57) with the draw at 14/5 (3.80) .

Granada vs Manchester United Team News

The Premier League side will be without Anthony Martial, who is facing an extended spell on the sidelines, whilst Marcus Rashford is a doubt after being withdrawn during the weekend win over Brighton and Eric Bailly is out with coronavirus.

Granada could welcome back Colombian striker Luis Suarez to the matchday squad, although he is not likely to start after missing two months of action, but Luis Milla, Dimitri Foulqiuer and Carlos Neva remain out for the side from Andalusia.

Granada vs Manchester United Preview

The hosts come into the game missing key players and in poor form, having won just two of their last 11 matches in La Liga.

They have done extremely well to reach this stage in their debut European season yet the effects of beginning their campaign in the early qualifying rounds is beginning to tell, with Granada looking extremely tired and sluggish during their 3-0 home defeat by Villarreal at the weekend.

United certainly have enough quality to record a win as they have done in their previous away matches in the tournament, and there should be plenty of interest in investing in an away victory.

Granada vs Manchester United Tips and Predictions

Granada have conceded at least two goals in nine of their last 13 matches in all competitions and backing United to win and score over 1.5 goals at evens (2.00) looks like an attractive selection.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Eredivisie champions-elect are on a long unbeaten run and our tipster is backing them to get amongst the goals in the Europa League on Thursday

Ajax will be looking to extend their long unbeaten run when they welcome Serie A outfit Roma to the Johan Cruyff Arena in the Europa League quarter-finals on Thursday.

The Eredivisie club have won 21 and drawn three of their last 24 outings, last tasting defeat back in December 2020 when they went down 1-0 at home to Atalanta in the Champions League group stage.

Ajax vs Roma Latest Odds

Ajax reached the final of this competition in 2017 and bet365 make them 19/20 (1.95) to take a step towards the semis this year with a first-leg victory.

Roma have won only one of their last four matches in all competitions and are out at 13/5 (3.60) to put themselves in the driving seat ahead of the return leg.

A draw would leave the tie in a precarious position and that is available at 14/5 (3.80) .

Ajax vs Roma Team News

Andre Onana is still suspended for Ajax whilst Maarten Stekelenberg is a doubt after picking up an injury at the weekend, meaning Kjell Scherpen should deputise. Noussair Mazraoui, Daley Blind, Sebastian Haller are all out.

Roma will be without Stephan El Shaarawy, Marash Kumbulla, Nicolo Zaniolo, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Jordan Veretout, who are all injured.

Ajax vs Roma Preview

After moving 11 points clear at the top of Eredivisie on Sunday with a 2-1 win over Heerenveen, Ajax can essentially put all their focus into continuing their European exploits and extending their undefeated streak.

Erik ten Hag’s men were unlucky to drop into the Europa League but have taken this competition in their stride with a 4-2 aggregate win over Ligue 1 leaders Lille in the last-32 and a 5-1 victory against Young Boys in the last-16.

Those two matches have contributed to a run of Ajax scoring more than once in 15 of their last 16 games, and they will certainly fancy their chances of doing so again when they face Roma’s faltering defence.

Indeed, the Serie A club have conceded twice or more in three of their last four matches and kept a clean sheet in only seven of their most recent nine fixtures.

Ajax vs Roma Tips and Predictions

A free-scoring Ajax team on such an impressive unbeaten run will have confidence flowing through them and backing them to net more than once at 8/11 (1.73) with bet365 looks the way to go in this Europa League quarter-final clash.
