Napoli v Eintracht Frankfurt – Click here to bet
Napoli are in a commanding position going into the 2nd leg at home having beaten Frankfurt 2-0 on the road in the 1st leg. They had started 12/10 favourites to win the game and took the lead shortly before half-time before making sure of the 1st leg lead in the 65th minute.
Napoli won all 3 of their group matches at home including a 4-1 victory over Liverpool and they have won 8 of their last 10 matches in all competitions including beating Atalanta 2-0 at home in the League on the weekend.
Two of Eintracht Frankfurt’s three victories in the group stages came on the road and that may give them some hope going into this clash. Their domestic form isn’t great and they haven’t won in their last 3 League games drawing 2 and losing 1. They are coming off a 1-1 home draw to Stuttgart on the weekend.
In the group stages Napoli scored 10 goals in 3 home games and reached the 3 goal mark on each occasion, with their opponents forced to come at them I think Napoli are going to hit the net repeatedly in this game.
Suggested Bet: Napoli totals over 2.5 goals at 13/8

Real Madrid v Liverpool – Click here to bet
Liverpool were 12/10 favourites heading into the 1st leg at home, but they were absolutely hammered by Real Madrid going down 5-2. What makes the result even more heart-breaking for Liverpool fans is they led 2-0 after 14 minutes only to be 5-2 down when Benzema scored his 2nd in the 67th minute.
Real Madrid won all 3 of their home matches in the group stages and they warmed up for this game with a 3-1 home win over Espanyol on the weekend. That did break a run of 3 successive matches without a victory in all competitions.
Liverpool won 2 and lost 1 of their 3 away matches in the group stages and they have been very inconsistent form wise beating Manchester United 7-0 at home in their penultimate start and then going down 1-0 to Bournemouth on the weekend.
It is hard to see any roads back for Liverpool and this should be an open game and I was seriously considering over 3.5 goals at 13/10. In the end I think Real Madrid are going to be too strong and I am going to back them to wrap things up in style.
Suggested Bet: Real Madrid win at 27/20
