Manchester United v Atletico Madrid

8pm, BT Sport 2

Atletico Madrid have been the big spoilers for the last couple of years.

But I don’t think they’re at their best, and it’s not a bad time for Manchester United to play them.

That Anthony Elanga equaliser late on in the away leg which earned them a draw that I think puts them in the box seat.

This will a tough one for United, but I fancy them to get over the line.

It won’t be easy, and I fancy Both Teams To Score, but I think Man Utd will win narrowly 2-1.

And who else for a Goalscorer bet? It’s got to be that man Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ajax v Benfica

8pm, BT Sport 3

Ajax are in fine form. I know the Eredivisie isn’t the strongest, but they’ve scored 77 goals this year, and only conceded 11.

They drew 2-2 away in Lisbon, and I fancy Ajax on home turf. I don’t think they’ll concede either.

I fancy a 2-0 win for Ajax.

For a goalscorer, Sebastien Haller is having a wonderful time following his move from West Ham, and I fancy him to score anytime.
