Reside on BT Sport 2
Liverpool take a two objective cushion into their second leg at Anfield and our previewer thinks the Reds will progress comfortably.
Mark O’Haire says: “Liverpool needed to dig deep within the first leg at San Siro. The Reds regarded set for a goalless attract Italy till Roberto Firmino acquired on the tip of Andrew Robertson’s nook quarter-hour from time, and Mohamed Salah added a second with a deflected effort late on. However Inter had regarded the extra threatening facet earlier than and after the half-time interval with out reward.
“Liverpool 1.618/13 are unbeaten in 15 (W12-D3-L0) and have suffered solely two defeats throughout all competitions this time period.

The Reds have at all times progressed after successful the primary leg of a Champions League knockout tie away.
“Inter Milan 5.905/1 arguably deserved a share of the spoils at San Siro however Simone Inzaghi’s facet have earned a repute as flat-track bullies.

Reside on BT Sport 3
Bayern Munich acquired a scare in Austria as they drew the primary leg 1-1 in opposition to Salzburg and our Bundesliga skilled thinks each groups will rating once more.
Kevin Hatchard says: “There’s an argument to say that Austrian champions Salzburg could have already missed their largest probability to trigger an enormous upset and progress to the quarter-finals. They led within the first leg by way of Junior Adamu’s gorgeous objective, and had Bayern on their heels, however they didn’t construct on and even defend that benefit.
“Given the contentious nature of Salzburg’s formation (drinks big Purple Bull took over Austria Salzburg and successfully erased the membership’s historical past), it is arduous to root for the membership as plucky underdogs. Nonetheless, 33-year-old coach Matthias Jaissle performs an exhilarating model of attacking soccer, and there is a lot to love in regards to the largely younger group of gamers at his disposal. Former Bayern youth Karim Adeyemi is especially enjoyable to look at, and has bashed in 15 league objectives and three UCL strikes this time period.
“Salzburg have by no means reached the knockout spherical of the UCL earlier than, however they coped admirably with the strain of the primary leg final month, and so they actually will not come to Munich to easily dig in. They stored only one clear sheet within the group stage, and scored in 5 of their six matches.”
Kevin’s guess: Again Bayern and each groups to attain at 2.06
Our tactical skilled has picked a four-fold guess, with one from every of this week’s matches, so this is what he recommends for the German/Austrain battle in Bavaria.
Alex Keble says: “Matthias Jaissle’s 4-3-1-2 must as soon as once more sit again, keep slim, and hope to dam all of the routes to objective. The midfield diamond was very efficient in pushing Bayern into the large areas the place they did not wish to play, lowering Juilen Nagelsmann’s possession-centric soccer into one thing too gradual to interrupt by way of. That occurs loads beneath his administration, and did once more in a 1-1 draw with Bayer Leverkusen on the weekend.
“Nonetheless, a formation change ought to make the distinction. Nagelsmann surprisingly moved to a 3-2-4-1 formation for the primary leg, which means far too many our bodies crammed into these congested central areas. Bayern ought to transfer again to a less complicated 4-2-3-1, offering higher steadiness and the platform for a comparatively comfy dwelling win.”
Alex’s guess: Again Bayern -1 @ 1.538/15
