Champions League 2024/25 Predictions: Round of 16 second leg: 11/03/2025
Bayer Leverkusen have a huge mountain to climb when they host Bayern Munich in the second leg. They lost the reverse fixture 3-0 in Munich; now they must win by a four-goal margin to advance to the next round or by a three-goal margin to drag the game to extra time, possibly a penalty shootout.
PSG and Feyenoord find themselves behind following the first leg, and now they are expected to put in a good shift in the return leg to stand a chance of turning things around.
This week’s UEFA Champions League Round of 16 predictions were based on current form, data, and expert knowledge.
UEFA Champions League Round of 16 Predictions, Tuesday: 11/03/2025
Barcelona to finish off what they started in Portugal: Barcelona vs Benfica
- Date: 11/03/2025
- Kick-off: 18:45
- Barcelona won the first leg by a tight margin, despite playing with a man down for most of the game. They are expected to finish off the job in Spain.
Barcelona are in control of this draw, having won the first leg 1-0 away from home. They can choose to play a draw in the second leg and still go through to the next round, but because they are a ruthless side and haven’t lost at home in this year’s UCL campaign, we can safely anticipate a win from the hosts.
Barcelona vs Benfica prediction: Home team to win
Inter Milan to continue their winning run: Inter Milan vs Feyenoord
- Date: 11/03/2025
- Kick-off: 21:00
- Having secured a comfortable win in the Netherlands, Inter Milan will look to repeat the same in Italy, thanks to their defensive resolve.
Inter Milan are one foot into the quarterfinal of the Champions League following their 2-0 win in the first leg, and their defensive resolve will likely see them win the return leg. The Serie A giants have conceded just once in 9 UCL matches. What are the chances the Dutch side outscore the Italians in Italy?
Inter Milan vs Feyenoord prediction: Home team to win
Liverpool and PSG will exchange goals: Liverpool vs PSG
- Date: 11/03/2025
- Kick-off: 21:00
- PSG outplayed Liverpool in France but were unlucky the entire time, and it became worse when they eventually succumbed to a narrow defeat. The Parisians will push for revenge in England.
PSG have the quality to score against any team in any stadium. They dominated Liverpool in Paris in the first leg but couldn’t beat Alisson. However, they have the return leg to right their wrongs. Liverpool may be the favourites to win the second leg, but the Reds have conceded goals against teams they shouldn’t, and with PSG playing stellar football, expecting at least one goal from the Parisians shouldn’t be a stretch.
Liverpool vs PSG prediction: Both teams to score - yes
Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich to find the back of the net: Bayer Leverkusen vs Bayern Munich
- Date: 11/03/2025
- Kick-off: 21:00
- Bayern Munich ended their six-match winless run against Bayer Leverkusen with a comfortable 3-0 home win in the first leg, but they are expected to be stretched by Bayer in the second leg.
Bayer Leverkusen had some moments to find the back of the net against Bayern Munich in the first leg, but poor finishing played its part. We doubt Bayer Leverkusen will fail to score against Bayern again, but at the same time, we anticipate the Bavarians to score, having only failed to score in one of their last 11 UCL matches this term.
Bayer Leverkusen vs Bayern Munich prediction: Both teams to score - yes
