Other than that victory, they struggled to ascend from a group that contained the resolute but limited Copenhagen and hapless Club Brugge.<\/p>\n<p>A glance at the Portuguese Primeira Liga table suggests Porto are in rude health, but the strength of that division remains in doubt. In Serie A, Juventus have won 15\/15 on home soil \u2013 seven of those to nil \u2013 and kept clean sheets in two of their three group games in this competition.<\/p>\n<p>As such, we\u2019re expecting a Juventus win to nil here.<\/p>\n<h4>Recommended Bets<\/h4>\n<p>Juventus to Win to Nil (8\/5 with <a title=\"BetVictor\" href=\"https:\/\/hellopunter.com\/recommends\/betvictor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">BetVictor<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Juventus 2-0 Correct Score (13\/2 with <a title=\"Betfair\" href=\"https:\/\/hellopunter.com\/recommends\/betfair\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Betfair<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Leicester vs Sevilla (Tuesday, 7:45pm)<\/h3>\n<p>The unlikeliest of redemption awaits Leicester City on Tuesday night. How they have gotten themselves into a position of relative power in the Champions League last 16, given their form in 2016\/17, is anybody\u2019s guess, but the Foxes have a very real chance of progressing here.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is that they will perhaps need to keep a clean sheet to do so, and that is not something they are prone to doing. Sevilla will enjoy the vast majority of possession here, as they did in the first leg, and their attacking prowess is not in debate: they netted twice in the first leg, missed a penalty and hit the bar and post. It could have been a rout, but it wasn\u2019t and Jamie Vardy\u2019s late away goal gives the Midlanders genuine hope.<\/p>\n<p>They have improved of late under Craig Shakespeare, that is clear for all to see, but Sevilla are a first-class side; and probably more dangerous on their travels than on home soil.<\/p>\n<p>Leicester will give it their all here, but will probably come up just short.<\/p>\n<h4>Recommended Bet<\/h4>\n<p>Over 2.5 Goals &amp; Both Teams to Score (19\/20 with <a title=\"Coral\" href=\"https:\/\/hellopunter.com\/recommends\/coral\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Coral<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Atletico Madrid vs Bayer Leverkusen (Wednesday, 7:45pm)<\/h3>\n<p>Atletico take a handsome 4-2 lead back to their Vicente Calderon Stadium home for the second leg on Wednesday, and even the most optimistic of Bayer Leverkusen supporters will be thinking that their time in this season\u2019s Champions League is about to come to an end.<\/p>\n<p>The Spaniards ran riot in the first half and could have been 4-0 up but for some bad luck and excellent goalkeeping. That 4-2 scoreline does not flatter them and in fact is indicative of Leverkusen\u2019s wider problems of late; their most recent record in the Bundesliga reads W3 D2 L5. An away formline of W4 D1 L6 does little to quell the fears that this tie is pretty much over as a contest already.<\/p>\n<p>Atletico\u2019s home record this term of W9 D2 L2 tells its own story, and they should have little problem seeing off their visitors here.<\/p>\n<h4>Recommended Bets<\/h4>\n<p>Atletico Madrid to Win (4\/6 with Betfred)<\/p>\n<p>Antoine Griezmann Anytime Goalscorer (19\/20 with <a title=\"William Hill\" href=\"https:\/\/hellopunter.com\/recommends\/william-hill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">William Hill<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Monaco vs Manchester City (Wednesday, 7:45pm)<\/h3>\n<p>It would be a brave punter that backs a winner either way here, although clearly the ball is in Manchester City\u2019s court given that they take a 5-3 lead to France from the first leg. But if Monaco score early\u2026.well, the goalposts move somewhat.<\/p>\n<p>The goals markets are the way forwards here. Monaco\u2019s 29 Ligue 1 games have witnessed a whopping 110 goals in total (84 for, 26 against), while City \u2013 who have improved defensively of late \u2013 are still never far from chaos in their own third of the pitch. But their attacking axis \u2013 Sterling, Sane, Silva and Aguero \u2013 is one full of intent.<\/p>\n<p>The onus is on Monaco to attack here, and that might just play into the Citizens\u2019 hands given that they can counter at pace.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a match winner tip here then you\u2019re out of luck \u2013 any result is possible, frankly, but to be able to back Over 3.5 Goals at a generous price seems too good an opportunity to miss.<\/p>\n<h4>Recommended Bet<\/h4>\n<p>Over 3.5 Goals (21\/20 with <a title=\"Betfair\" href=\"https:\/\/hellopunter.com\/recommends\/betfair\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Betfair<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Often two-legged ties can become a bit humdrum if one of the sides takes a healthy lead into the second leg, but hopefully Barcelona\u2019s miraculous victory over PSG \u2013 they won 6-5 on aggregate against PSG after overturning a 0-4 first leg deficit \u2013 will prove inspirational for those who are feeling dead and buried [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1008,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[75],"tags":[124,125,35,128,37,64,123,127,126],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.10 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Champions League Last 16 Football Betting Tips (March 14 &amp;
