Real Madrid vs. Chelsea (Tuesday, 8.00pm)

Seeking to spark a phenomenal turnaround against this season's Champions League comeback kings, Chelsea visit the Bernabeu for the second leg of their European quarter-final on Tuesday night.

The defending champions head to the Spanish capital after being sunk 3-1 in the first leg at Stamford Bridge, with one illustrious Frenchman doing the damage on the night.

We say: Real Madrid 2-2 Chelsea (Real Madrid win 5-3 on aggregate)

Having rediscovered their golden touch against a lacklustre Southampton, Chelsea have already shown that they can breach this Real Madrid backline and will fancy their chances of doing so on more than one occasion with an attack-minded approach and no Militao in the hosts' lineup.

Tuchel's side simply have to go for goals in the Spanish capital, but such an approach will always leave them susceptible to Vinicius Junior's dynamism and Benzema's brilliance on the break, and Real can nick a couple goals of their own to end Chelsea's dreams of back-to-back European titles.

Bayern vs. Villarreal (Tuesday, 8.00pm)

After claiming one of the most memorable results in their recent history in the first leg, Villarreal travel to Bavaria to meet Bayern Munich in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final on Tuesday night.

Arnaut Danjuma's finish sees Unai Emery's side make the journey holding a 1-0 lead from the first leg, but attempting to hold onto that slender advantage at the Allianz Arena is no mean feat.

We say: Bayern Munich 3-1 Villarreal (Bayern win 3-2 on aggregate)

We made the mistake of underestimating Villarreal before the first leg, and an entire XI of fresh legs can certainly trouble this Bayern backline - especially given their track record of away goals in the Champions League this term.

While Emery's side could and probably should have scored more in the first leg, Bayern were also guilty of some profligacy on the night - which should not be the case at the Allianz Arena - and attempting to make lightning strike twice in Bavaria will likely be a step too far for this spirited Villarreal side.
