Check out Housebets' betting preview for the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals and how you can bet on all four games.
The UEFA Champions League is back with four exciting Champions League quarter-final games on Tuesday. Following the round of 16 games, the final eight are set, with the first leg taking place this week.
All matches are thrilling as Europe's top teams compete for a spot in the semifinals. The biggest match of this round is Real Madrid’s clash against Bayern Munich, with both teams sharing 21 titles between them.
However, you can also place your bets on all these finely poised matches at Housebets. To place your bets, log in to your account (or create one if you don't already have one), deposit your preferred cryptocurrency, and go to the sports section to bet on these games and our picks.
With that said, let us preview all these games.
Real Madrid’s season hinges on what happens across two legs in this match, as the Champions League is now their only realistic chance of winning a trophy this season after what happened last weekend.
Los Blancos’ title hopes are all but over after suffering a shocking 2-1 loss to Real Mallorca on Saturday. The result leaves them seven points behind Barcelona, with just eight games left this campaign.
With their LaLiga hopes over, Álvaro Arbeloa’s men will now have to pour all their eggs into one basket—the Champions League. Los Blancos do have a strong pedigree in this competition, having won the title 15 times, more than any other team.
They beat Manchester City in the round of 16 despite being the underdogs. Real Madrid has consistently performed well on significant UCL nights, and they will aim to replicate this success on Tuesday at the Bernabeu.
Los Blancos have faced Bayern Munich more than any other team in the competition’s history, winning 13 and losing 11 of their 28 meetings.
However, despite Madrid's confidence in their chances, they are up against a formidable Bayern side that is the frontrunner for the title.
Unlike Real Madrid, Vincent Kompany’s men practically have the Bundesliga wrapped up and will come into the game on the back of a 3-2 win at Freiburg.
The Bavaria giants were staring at defeat after going 2-0 down, but mounted a remarkable comeback in the last 10 minutes of the match.
Bayern thrashed Atalanta 10-2 on aggregate in the last round, including a 6-0 win away from home in the first leg. While it's highly improbable that they will replicate the scoreline against Madrid, Kompany's men can be unforgivable when they are in top form.
The German champions are the favourites for this one, with odds of 2.20 to win the match on Tuesday night. Meanwhile, Madrid are priced at 2.90 to get a 14th win over Bayern.
It is difficult to predict a game of this magnitude, but we fancy a Bayern win or over 2.5 goals, which is priced at 1.44.
Sporting Lisbon will aim to secure a significant victory when they host Arsenal at Estádio José Alvalade on Tuesday.
The Lions are in the middle of a league battle with Porto but will still be looking to do damage in the UCL. Rui Borges’ team has been performing exceptionally well in the Champions League this season, finishing in the top eight.
Sporting edged out Bodo/Glimt in the last 16, 5-3 on aggregate, to get to this stage. The Portuguese outfit had lost 3-0 in the first leg but completed a 5-0 comeback in the second leg.
Their reward is now a battle against Arsenal – a side they have never beaten in five meetings (D3, L2). However, they come into this match having won their last three games, including a 4-2 win over Santa Clara on Friday.
This might be the perfect time for Sporting to face an Arsenal side currently under pressure from its success.
The Gunners have had a successful season thus far, but they risk jeopardising their progress. A few weeks ago, they were flirting with quadruple, but that is no longer the case.
Mikel Arteta’s men lost to Manchester City in the EFL Cup final before suffering a shock 2-1 defeat to Southampton in the FA Cup quarter-final last weekend.
While these two trophies are not Arsenal’s main objective for the season, the two losses are potentially a momentum killer.
However, Arteta will be eager to ensure his side does not fall into this pit, as another loss on Tuesday night will raise further questions.
The good news for Arsenal is that they are unbeaten against Sporting and will want to keep it that way after Tuesday night.
Arteta’s men are the slight favourites to win this one, priced at 1.74 odds for the win. Sporting, meanwhile, are backed at 4.70.
This is a tough one to call, but we fancy it will be cagey, so we are backing under 2.5 goals at 1.94.
Barcelona moved one step closer towards another LaLiga title after beating Atletico Madrid in controversial circumstances on Saturday.
The two sides will now meet again on Wednesday in the Champions League, where Barcelona will hope to repeat Saturday’s win but in a more convincing manner.
Despite playing the whole of the second half with a man advantage, Barcelona needed a fluke goal from Lewandowski to secure a 2-1 win. While that win put them seven points clear at the top, they will need to improve on their performance on Wednesday night.
That should not be a problem for the Catalan giants, as they seem to have Atletico’s number this season. Despite losing to them 4-0 in the first leg of their Copa del Rey clash, Barcelona have already beaten Diego Simeone’s men three times this season, including a 3-0 win in the reverse fixture of the Copa del Rey clash.
Barcelona come into this game in fine form, having won eight of their last nine matches in all competitions (D1). Hansi Flick's men are riding high on confidence coming into this clash, but Atletico will be eager to stop that run.
Simeone’s men have been disappointing against Barcelona in recent years, but they know this is a massive opportunity for them. They have lost 10 out of their last 13 games against Barca but have had success against them in the UCL.
Rojiblancos have progressed twice when they met Barcelona in the knockout stage of the Champions League. While they will be up against it on Wednesday night, Simeone’s men have to make sure they still have a chance going into the second leg next Tuesday.
The Rojiblancos have won just two of their last 29 away games against Barcelona, highlighting the magnitude of the challenge in front of them on Wednesday night.
Atletico are the massive underdogs for this game and are priced at 5.00 to get a win at Camp Nou, while Barcelona are priced at 1.53 to get a routine win.
Defending champion Paris Saint-Germain will be hoping to pile more misery on Liverpool when the two sides meet in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final clash at Parc des Princes.
PSG are aiming to become the first side since the three-peat Madrid side to successfully defend their UCL title. Luis Enrique’s men won the title last season and are perfectly placed to win it again this year.
Just like last season, they barely managed to get out of the group, but they have managed to raise their level in the knockout rounds. The Parisians thrashed Chelsea 8-2 on aggregate in the last round to reach the stage and will come into this match full of confidence.
Having prevailed against Liverpool last season, Enrique’s men will know what to expect from the Reds. It even gets better for them, as they are facing an out-of-sorts Liverpool side this time, compared to the one they faced last season.
Arne Slot’s men have been disappointing this season and are a shadow of the team that won the Premier League title last year. They come into this game following a 4-0 loss to Manchester City in the FA Cup quarter-final, their 15th defeat this season.
That result leaves them with the Champions League being their last chance of winning a trophy this season. However, with PSG in fine form, Liverpool will need something special if they want to continue their UCL journey.
A loss might be a blessing in disguise, though, as it could lead to the end of Slot’s tenure as Liverpool boss.
The Dutch tactician knows his side are the underdogs going into this clash and will need a positive result to extend his stay. However, the odds are stacked against his team, as Liverpool are priced at 4.30 to win on Wednesday night.
Our pick favours PSG to win, which is priced at 1.71 or over 2.5 goals at 1.49.
