Odds for Champions League Round of 16
Published on February 10th, 2018 9:49 am ESTWritten By: Ariel Noel
After a long winter break, the UEFA Champions League returns this coming Tuesday with two Round of 16 matches. Two more will be played on Wednesday, and then two again on both February 20th and 21st.
Aside from the Italian Serie A, the winners of the other European big leagues (unless something extraordinary happens) have already been decided. Manchester City, Barcelona, PSG and Bayern are running away with the domestic titles, while Juventus and Napoli look to fight until the bitter end. This makes the Champions league that much more interesting this season, especially with the World Cup in Russia taking place this summer. The players are poised to be extra sharp and will play at their absolute best in an attempt to secure their spot on the national team.
Here are the upcoming UCL first leg games and the odds for each one:
