Inter arrive in Norway as clear favourites, riding a five-match winning streak and boasting a strong away record in Europe. Bodo/Glimt are in excellent recent form themselves, having upset both Manchester City and Atletico Madrid, but their overall defensive record is shaky (season clean sheet rate only 10%). Inter's attack is in top gear, averaging over 3 goals per game in their last five, and their defense has been solid with three clean sheets in that span. Bodo/Glimt's attacking threat at home is real, but Inter's quality and experience should see them edge a competitive match, likely with multiple goals.

Olympiakos Piraeus and Bayer Leverkusen meet in a Champions League clash that looks likely to be tightly contested and low scoring. Olympiakos have shown resilience at home, recently beating Leverkusen 2-0 in the previous H2H. Both teams have similar season and recent form, with Olympiakos averaging 1.4 goals scored and 0.6 conceded in their last five, while Leverkusen have been slightly more prolific but also solid defensively. Both sides are mid-table in the group and will be motivated to avoid defeat, likely leading to a cautious first half and a game that could be decided by a single goal or end in a draw.

Atletico Madrid travel to Brugge as favorites, but both sides have shown recent defensive vulnerabilities and inconsistent away/home form. Club Brugge have been prolific at home but also concede frequently, while Atletico's away record in Europe is mixed. Expect a tight contest, with Atletico's quality likely to edge it, but goal chances at both ends.

Newcastle travel to Baku as clear favourites against Qarabag. Qarabag have struggled both domestically and in Europe, especially against higher-level opposition, conceding heavily and failing to score in several matches. Newcastle, despite some recent defensive lapses, have a much higher quality squad, a strong season record, and have consistently scored in away matches. Expect Newcastle to control the match, limit Qarabag's chances, and likely keep a clean sheet. The hosts may struggle to create clear opportunities, and the match could be relatively low-scoring if Newcastle focus on control and game management.

Paris Saint Germain come into this Champions League tie as clear favorites, boasting a potent attack and much stronger recent form than Monaco. Monaco have tightened up defensively, keeping four clean sheets in their last five, but have struggled to score, failing to net in three of those games. PSG's away record in Europe is solid, and their attacking firepower should eventually break Monaco's resistance, especially as the game progresses. Expect Monaco to start cautiously, but PSG's quality should tell over 90 minutes.

Borussia Dortmund and Atalanta meet in a Champions League tie with both sides showing mixed form. Dortmund have been inconsistent in Europe but have attacking potential at home, while Atalanta are coming off a strong domestic run and have improved defensively, especially away. Both teams have struggled to score in some recent matches, suggesting a cautious first half and a tight contest overall. The draw is a realistic outcome, with a slight lean to under 2.5 goals but value on the over at current odds.

Real Madrid travel to Lisbon aiming to overturn their recent defeat to Benfica. While Benfica are buoyed by a strong home win in the last H2H, their overall Champions League form is inconsistent, especially against higher-ranked sides. Real Madrid's attack has been prolific, averaging over 2.5 goals per game in the competition, and their recent domestic and European form is strong. Benfica's defense has improved, but Madrid's firepower and need for a result should see them edge a competitive, tactical encounter. Expect a measured first half, with Madrid likely to assert themselves as the match progresses.

Galatasaray host Juventus in Istanbul with both sides showing mixed Champions League form. Galatasaray are on a domestic winning streak but struggled against top European opposition, while Juventus have been solid but not spectacular, with a tendency for draws and low-scoring games. Both teams have defensive vulnerabilities but also enough attacking quality to find the net. Expect a tense, tactical battle, with a low-scoring draw the most likely outcome.
