The UEFA Champions League quarterfinals are starting with two exciting games. First, Arsenal will play against the current Champions League winner, Real Madrid, in London. This is their first match since 2019.
Odds from bookmakers list Arsenal as favorites to win this first game at home, while Real Madrid is seen as the underdog. A draw is also a possible outcome, and expectations are for a game with a few goals.
In the other game, Bayern Munich, with some players injured, will play against Inter Milan at home. Bayern is slightly favored to win, while Inter is the underdog. A draw is also considered possible, and like the other match, a game with a few goals is expected.
Expert Brandt Sutton has been successful in predicting Champions League games recently.
Here are Sutton`s top picks for Tuesday`s Champions League matches.
Arsenal vs. Real Madrid
Prediction: Real Madrid 2, Arsenal 1
Both teams have injuries, but Real Madrid`s experience is expected to be key in this big game. Real Madrid`s fast wing play and the presence of Kylian Mbappe in the attack could be too much for Arsenal`s defense, which is missing some important players. Real Madrid won against Man City in the previous round, and they are predicted to win again in England.
Bayern vs. Inter Milan
Prediction: Bayern 1, Inter 1
Inter Milan has a very strong defense in the Champions League, only allowing a few goals in many games. They have played well defensively against top teams like Manchester City and Arsenal. However, they face Bayern`s attack, which includes Harry Kane, a top striker who has scored many goals in the Champions League. Inter is likely to focus on defense and try to counter-attack against Bayern. A close game is expected, possibly ending in a draw.
