Champions League 2024/25 Predictions: Quarter-finals: 16/04/2025
Real Madrid raised many eyebrows when they succumbed to a 3-0 defeat to Arsenal away from home in the quarter-final first leg. The bookies have already identified Mikel Arteta’s side as the favourite to go through to the next round of the competition, but Real Madrid are a miracle club that effortlessly make the impossible possible. Vinicius Jr, Jude Bellingham, and Kylian Mbappe were among the players who talked to the team in the dressing room at the Emirates Stadium about staging a comeback in Spain. We will witness their actions in the coming days.
Inter Milan are in charge of this draw, following a tight 1-0 win over Bayern Munich in Germany in the first leg. The Serie A side is one of the favourites to win the Champions League this term, and winning against the Bavarians away from home was a friendly reminder of what they can achieve in this competition. We expect the reigning champions of Italy to play to their strength in front of the home fans and go through to the next round.
We analysed these matches thoroughly and came out with the best possible outcomes.

Real Madrid will delight their fans with a good performance: Real Madrid vs Arsenal

- Real Madrid need a response, and an early one, in the return leg against Arsenal in Spain.
Arsenal may have won the first leg, but they are aware that Real Madrid will come all out to stage an unlikely comeback. Real have done it many times to come from behind and turn the tide around, but this one is a different vibe. They haven’t overturned a three-goal deficit against an English team, plus it’s been ages since Arsenal lost to any team by a four-goal deficit, but history can be made at any time. We doubt they can stop the Gunners from going through to the next round, but we believe they can get the win in the second leg in Spain.
Real Madrid vs Arsenal prediction: Home team to win
Inter Milan and Bayern Munich will exchange goals: Inter Milan vs Bayern Munich
- Date: 16/04/2025
- Kick-off: 21:00 CET
- Because the tie remains open for both teams to grab, we should expect both clubs to play on the front foot.
Bayern Munich and Inter Milan exchanged goals in the first leg in Germany, and we expect the same intensity in the return leg. Bayern scored just one goal last week, but they missed some chances they wouldn't miss again, and we expect the second leg to be that chance. Inter are a good goalscoring side that rarely go blank in front of their fans. They may have a solid defense, but Bayern will push for a comeback, which already suggests they have more than one goal in the upcoming game. We can anticipate a 2-2 draw in Italy, but Inter’s defensive solidity should take them over the line.
Inter Milan vs Bayern Munich prediction: Both teams to score – yes
