Champions League Expert Picks, Predictions, Best Bets

Real Madrid to Top Milan; Inter-Arsenal Clash Expected to be Low-Scoring

The UEFA Champions League is back this week with four highly anticipated matchups in the round of 16. Here are our expert picks, predictions, and best bets for each game:

Real Madrid vs. AC Milan

* **Pick:** Real Madrid to win * **Prediction:** Real Madrid 2-0 AC Milan * **Best Bet:** Real Madrid to win to nil (-120) Real Madrid is the clear favorite in this matchup, having won the Champions League 14 times, and they will be looking to extend their lead at the top of the all-time standings. AC Milan is no slouch, but they have not been in good form this season and are likely to struggle to keep up with Real Madrid’s attacking firepower.

Inter Milan vs. Arsenal

* **Pick:** Draw * **Prediction:** Inter Milan 1-1 Arsenal * **Best Bet:** Under 2.5 goals (-110) This is a much more evenly matched contest, and it could go either way. Inter Milan has the home advantage, but Arsenal is in good form and will be confident of getting a result. We expect a close, low-scoring game, with both teams likely to be cautious in the first leg.

Other Matches

* **Manchester City vs. RB Leipzig:** Manchester City to win * **FC Porto vs. Inter Milan:** FC Porto to win
