Last-16 draw
Porto v Arsenal
Arsenal are looking good in Europe this season and they’ll be confident with this draw that they can qualify for the Quarter-Finals.
Arsenal are the clear favourites to qualify at 1/6 on bet365. Porto are the underdogs at 4/1.
Napoli v Barcelona
There is a lot of attacking flair in what should be an exciting match. Even though Napoli aren’t on the same form as last season, Osimhen and Khvicha can always do damage. Keep an eye out for this one.
Barcelona are the slight favourites to qualify at 8/15 on bet365. Napoli are 11/8.
Paris St-Germain v Real Sociedad
You’d expect PSG to qualify here. The star power of Mbappé alone should be too much for Sociedad, yet the Basque side has played exciting football so far in the competition. You never know…
PSG are the clear favourites to qualify at 1/2 on bet365. Sociedad are the underdogs at 6/4.
Inter Milan v Atletico Madrid
This is probably the best match of the draw – two European powerhouses with not much to separate the two sides.
The teams are almost evenly priced. Inter Milan are narrow favourites to qualify at 3/4 on bet365. Atletico are 1/1.
PSV Eindhoven v Borussia Dortmund
Dortmund are the narrow favourites to qualify at 4/7 on bet365. PSV are the underdogs at 5/4.
Lazio v Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich won six out of six in the group stage and they’ll be licking their lips here. For them, this should be a clear run into the last eight.
Bayern Munich are the clear favourites to qualify at 1/8 on bet365. Lazio are the underdogs at 5/1.
Copenhagen v Manchester City
Manchester City always seem to get favourable draws. That said, this Copenhagen side did beat Manchester United in the group stage so one can’t put it past them to cause a second Manchester upset.
Manchester City are the clear favourites to qualify at 1/50 on bet365. Copenhagen are the underdogs at 18/1.
RB Leipzig v Real Madrid
Jude Bellingham and Real Madrid will hope to qualify from this one. Leipzig have started the season well but Real Madrid should be able to overpower them.
Real Madrid are the favourites to qualify at 2/7 on bet365. RB Leipzigs are the underdogs at 5/2.
The Europa League Knockout round Play-Offs are set!
