Chelsea FC vs. LOSC Lille
Tuesday, February 22, 2022 – 3:00 PM EST at Stamford Bridge
Chelsea FC come into this game having gone six games unbeaten and they won’t be too bothered with their draw for the final 16 against this very beatable Lille team. We must not forget that Chelsea FC are the reigning Champions League holders.
Lille won the French league last season but this time around they linger down in 11th place, a big contrast towards the success of last season. Worryingly for the traveling team here they haven’t kept a clean sheet away from home in Europe in the previous 7 fixtures.

Lille had to pick up three unlikely wins in a row just to advance from their group, two of which were on the road against Sevilla and Wolfsburg. LOSC Lille have never won three Champions League road games in a row and we can’t see that trend changing Tuesday night.
Chelsea might have put in a lackluster performance against Crystal Palace at the weekend, but we think they had one eye on this fixture, their almost guaranteed top 4 and can forget about winning the league, they will put their all into this tournament and we see an easy victory over Lille on home soil for “the Blues”.

Villarreal CF vs. Juventus FC
Tuesday, February 22, 2022 – 3:00 PM EST at Estadio de la Cerámica
The “Yellow Submarine” are heading into their first Champions League knockout game since the 2008/09 season and will take confidence coming into this one having earned a respectable 0-0 draw against Real Madrid in the league and a 4-1 road win at the weekend over Granada.
Juventus fortunes haven’t taken a massive uplift since the signing of Dušan Vlahovic as they have only managed five league points from a possible 9, it’s not a bad return but the “old lady” fans would be expecting them to do much better, with that being said they have only lost once in their previous 20 games in all competitions.
We can’t see much value in this game and we really don’t like a ton of goals, but then again, the over 1.5 is very possible here as we do believe this game ends 1-1 at the very least and over 2.5 goals is priced up as high as +230 with the best online sportsbooks. Once we see two goals scored for our parlay, we don’t mind what the final score is and if we were to leave out one selection of the three it would be this one.

Atlético Madrid vs. Manchester United
Wednesday, February 23, 2022 – 3:00 PM EST at Estadio Wanda Metropolitano
By far the most exciting tie this round will be the matchup between Man. United and Atlético Madrid, both teams had impressive wins at the weekend to give them some much-needed confidence ahead of this game. Atlético beat Osasuna 3-0 whilst Man. United came out on top in a 4-2 win over Leeds United.
We are targeting the total line at 2.5 goals to go over at odds of +125 available at the top-rated books, Manchester United haven’t seen a lot of unders lately but coming up against Atlético who have seen 11 of their previous 15 games in all competitions go over the total, we see goals in this game.
The odds on the over 2.5 here is really good value and the odds originally opened up at -110, we liked it a lot at those odds, so to get +125 now we absolutely love these set of odds and also suggest playing it as a single bet.
Suarez and Ronaldo could be key to this game going over the total, although Ronaldo has been on somewhat of a goal drought as of late, he does boast an impressive all-time goalscoring record against Atlético with 25 goals scored in 35 matches. Ronaldo has scored 6 goals in 5 Champions League appearances this season.
