UEFA Champions League Round of 16 2nd Leg Correct Score Predictions: 12/03/2025

Real Madrid managed a tight 2-1 win in the first leg, and we expect them to rather force a draw in the second leg against Atletico Madrid, which will be enough for them to advance to the next round.

Arsenal will want to finish the job off in England against PSV, but we doubt the second leg will be as open as the first leg that ended in a 7-1 win for the Gunners.

We analysed the nature of the games and took a long look at the number of chances these teams created in the first leg and suggested how many goals every team could score in the second leg. 

UEFA Champions League Round of 16 Correct Score Predictions

Lille vs Borussia Dortmund

• Date: 12/02/2025
• Kick-off: 18:45
• Borussia Dortmund play their best football in the Champions League as the visitors, so we expect them to advance to the next round.

Dortmund thrashed Sporting CP 3-0 away from home in the playoff, and while we doubt they can score as many against Lille, we expect the Bundesliga side to advance to the next round following a tight win in France.

Correct Score prediction: Lille 1-2 Dortmund

Aston Villa vs Club Brugge

• Date: 12/03/2025
• Kick-off: 21:00
• Club Brugge will put up a fight in England, but Aston Villa are too strong at Villa Park and will likely dominate the game.

Aston Villa may have won the first leg 3-1, but they wouldn’t be complacent in the return leg, especially in front of their fans. Club Brugge will push to stage a comeback, but we doubt if they can score more than one goal against a Villa side that is finding it easy to score 2+ goals per game.

Correct score prediction: Aston Villa 2-1 Club Brugge

Arsenal vs PSV

• Date: 12/03/2025
• Kick-off: 21:00
• Arsenal may have won the first leg by a big margin, but we expect them to protect the Emirates stand and finish the job off.

PSV understand they are unlikely to turn the deficits around, but winning at the Emirates can reduce the embarrassment. However, Arsenal are too strong at the Emirates Stadium, and we expect them to dominate the game as well. They are unlikely to hit seven goals past the Dutchmen again, but expecting them to win comfortably isn’t a stretch.

Correct score prediction: Arsenal 3-1 PSV

Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid

• Date: 12/03/2025
• Kick-off: 21:00
• The tie remains open for both teams to grab, but Real Madrid are used to winning matches like this.

Atletico Madrid lost 2-1 in the first leg against Real Madrid, and the second leg is expected to be intense for both teams. Real need at least a draw to advance to the next round, but 1-1 has been recorded in some of their previous meetings, and we think the upcoming game may end similarly.

Correct score prediction: Atletico Madrid 1-1 Real Madrid
