Bayern Munich v Arsenal 19:45
Wigan beat Man City in the FA Cup final last season. We all thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime fluke but yesterday they went and embarrassed them again.
At this stage of last year's Champions League, Arsenal were in a similar position to the one they find themselves in now, well beaten at home by an impressive Bayern side with little or no hope in the away leg. They went to the Allianz and won 2-0 though, desperately unlucky to bow out on away goals. The moral of the story is that history can sometimes repeat itself, and what I mean by that is they're going out again.
It's hard to imagine the Germans being so complacent two years running, and the only argument that can be made in favour of a Gunners win is that it's out at 9/1 (possibly worth a quid). Beyond that, the best value you're getting is the home win with BTTS at 7/4. Get on Mandzukic to score first at 7/2, or maybe Giroud at 15/4 any time. His form has picked up of late. As has Ozil's, and he's yours at 5/1.
Prediction: 3-1 (10/1)
It's
Atletico Madrid v Milan tonight as well, with the Spanish side taking a narrow 1-0 lead (but a crucial away goal) from the first leg. Can see them opening up with home advantage though, and 17/10 on them scoring 3+ is worth a look. Diego Costa's the man most likely to get them, and he's 7/2 for the first.
Prediction: 3-0 (9/1)
