Champions League preview
Tonight is one of the biggest nights of the season, with 36 teams vying to secure 24 spots in the knockout stages of the Champions League. If you want to have a bigger interest in the matches, then have a look at our thoughts on three of this evening’s most intriguing fixtures.
Leverkusen vs Villarreal (Tonight at 8pm)
Leverkusen heads into this fixture with renewed momentum after snapping a three-match losing streak with a victory over Werder Bremen last weekend. This return to form, combined with their formidable record under Kasper Hjulmand, makes a home win look highly probable.
Since Hjulmand took the reins, the hosts have suffered only three defeats in twelve matches at their home ground, maintaining a sharp offensive edge with an average of two goals per game.
The outlook is considerably bleaker for Villarreal, who arrive at this final league phase match with qualification already out of reach. Given they have no mathematical path forward, the visitors are expected to rest several key starters to preserve them for domestic duties. Their continental campaign has been a struggle from the start, yielding only a single point and six losses across seven matches.
Having lost all three of their away fixtures in the competition so far, it is difficult to see them reversing that trend in a match where they have little left to play for.
Benfica vs Real Madrid (Tonight at 8pm)
Despite suffering two losses in seven games, Real Madrid remains a powerhouse on the brink of securing a top-eight finish.
While Álvaro Arbeloa’s side likely needs a victory here to guarantee direct qualification without relying on outside results, those recent stumbles do little to overshadow their overall dominance. Statistically, Los Blancos have been a force of nature, ranking as the fourth-best attacking unit with an average of 2.7 goals per game and an impressive 17.5 expected goals, the second-highest mark in the league.
While the Spaniards have faced some defensive fragility, conceding 1.1 goals per match and securing only two clean sheets, their star-studded frontline consistently compensates for any gaps at the back. This becomes particularly relevant against a Benfica side that has struggled to find the back of the net, with only four teams in the competition scoring fewer than their six goals. Having created just 13 big chances across the seven group stages, the Portuguese outfit lacks the clinical edge necessary to exploit Madrid’s defence, meaning their only real path to a result is a near-perfect defensive shutout.
Dortmund vs Inter (Tonight at 8pm)
While Dortmund enters this match as slight underdogs, their exceptional home form suggests they are more than capable of defying the odds.
Under Niko Kovac, the side has turned the Westfalenstadion into a fortress, losing just one of their last 13 home matches across all competitions and securing nine victories in that span. Their dominance on home soil is backed by impressive underlying numbers, as they average 2.23 goals per game while maintaining a disciplined defense that concedes only 0.77. This strength has carried over into the Champions League, where they have already earned seven points from three home fixtures, outscoring opponents 10-2 and consistently registering a higher xG (expected goals) than their visitors.
In contrast, Inter Milan arrives in Germany grappling with both a poor run of form and a recurring struggle against top-tier opposition. The Italian giants have lost their last three Champions League outings and have looked particularly vulnerable when the markets label them as outsiders; they have lost all five matches this season where their odds were priced at 5/4 or higher.
Given Inter’s recent difficulties on the continental stage and Dortmund’s relentless efficiency in front of their “Yellow Wall,” the hosts appear well-positioned to continue their strong European run.
