Tuesday's Champions League predictions including Dortmund vs. Manchester City

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's Champions League fixtures, including Borussia Dortmund vs. Manchester City.

Only 90 minutes could separate Chelsea from a place in the Champions League knockout stages, as the Blues travel to face Red Bull Salzburg in Group E on Tuesday night.

Graham Potter's men sit at the top of the section on seven points, while their Austrian hosts sit one place and one point worse off in this top-of-the-table showdown.

We say: Red Bull Salzburg 1-2 Chelsea


In spite of their lengthy injury list, Salzburg are rarely kept at bay in the Champions League, and the rejuvenated Kepa Arrizabalaga will need to be on top form to keep out Jaissle's menacing attacking starlets.

The Blues were second best for the majority of their battle with Man United, but Potter's side should still take advantage of Salzburg's depleted squad to seal their place in the last 16.

Sevilla vs. Copenhagen (Tuesday, 5.45pm)

Sevilla will be bidding to keep their hopes of reaching the knockout round of the Champions League alive when they welcome Copenhagen to Estadio Ramon on Tuesday night.

The La Liga outfit are third in Group G, five points behind second-placed Borussia Dortmund, while Copenhagen are fourth in the section but level on points (two) with their opponents here.

We say: Sevilla 2-1 Copenhagen


This has all of the makings of a very interesting match, and we are expecting a tight encounter on Tuesday night. Sevilla will be confirmed to finish at least third if they are victorious, and we are backing the La Liga side to navigate their way to a huge three points at Estadio Ramon.

Dinamo Zagreb vs. AC Milan (Tuesday, 8.00pm)

Both desperately needing points to stay in contention for a place in the Champions League knockout stage, Dinamo Zagreb and AC Milan clash at Stadion Maksimir on Tuesday night.

While the Croatian champions have taken just one point from their last three Group E games, their Italian counterparts' only win to date came in last month's reverse fixture at San Siro.

We say: Dinamo Zagreb 2-2 AC Milan


Bedeviled by injuries, Milan have kept only one clean sheet in their last 11 games, and as Dinamo have little to lose, this Group E contest could develop into an open affair. The points are set to be shared - to the satisfaction of neither side - and both teams' fate may well be decided on the final day.

Celtic vs. Shakhtar (Tuesday, 8.00pm)

Celtic will attempt to claim their first victory in Champions League Group F on Tuesday when they welcome Shakhtar Donetsk to Celtic Park.

The hosts come into this one on the back of a thrilling win away to Hearts, while the visitors enter the fray following a comfortable triumph over Kolos Kivalivka.

We say: Celtic 2-1 Shakhtar Donetsk


In a game that could have significant permutations for Group F, we expect both sides to put on an entertaining spectacle and create plenty of opportunities.

On this occasion, Celtic will narrowly claim their first win in the Champions League this season in front of their home support.

RB Leipzig vs. Real Madrid (Tuesday, 8.00pm)

Real Madrid will head to RB Leipzig in the Champions League on Tuesday night knowing that they would be confirmed as Group F winners with a draw.

Los Blancos, who are already through to the round of 16, sit top of the section on 10 points, four points ahead of second-placed Leipzig, who are bidding to join the reigning champions in the next round.

We say: RB Leipzig 1-1 Real Madrid


Leipzig are in strong form at the moment and certainly have the tools to harm the reigning Spanish and European champions in this match. It is so difficult to back Real Madrid not to win at the moment, but this is a tough game for Ancelotti's side, and we can see the points being shared in a 1-1 draw.

Dortmund vs. Man City (Tuesday, 8.00pm)

Manchester City will seal top spot in Group G of the Champions League if they can avoid defeat away to Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday.

The hosts, meanwhile, need two more points to be certain of progressing to the knockout stages, although a draw against the English champions would be enough to do so should Sevilla beat Copenhagen in the other match in the group.

We say: Borussia Dortmund 1-2 Manchester City


We can envisage another closely fought affair between these sides, with Guardiola's side edging Dortmund to a tight victory once again.

Haaland is likely to be a man possessed in front of his former fans, and that could make all the difference as Man City look to secure top spot in Group G.

PSG vs. Maccabi Haifa (Tuesday, 8.00pm)

Paris Saint-Germain will endeavour to seal progress to the last 16 of the Champions League when Maccabi Haifa visit the Parc des Princes for Tuesday's Group H clash.

Meanwhile, the Israeli basement side are still in with a chance of a top-two finish after stunning Juventus on matchday four.

We say: Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 Maccabi Haifa


Having conceded first to Maccabi Haifa before turning the game on its head and winning 3-1 last month, PSG will be aware of the dangers that Atzili and Chery can pose when afforded time and space on the ball, as any team that defeats Juventus in such a manner commands plenty of respect.

A well-rested Ramos is an invaluable addition, though, while Neymar's return also spells optimism for Galtier and co. The Israeli champions can afford to play with the handbrake off and create an exciting battle, but PSG should still have too much at home as they ease into the knockout rounds.

Benfica vs. Juventus (Tuesday, 8.00pm)

With one side seeking a pass to the last 16 and the other scrapping for Champions League survival, unbeaten Benfica and an ailing Juventus meet at Estadio da Luz on Tuesday.

Juve travel to Lisbon teetering on the brink of elimination after being humbled by Maccabi Haifa last time out; leaving them five points adrift of the top two in Group H. Meanwhile, their hosts will assure progress if they beat the Serie A side for the second time in a matter of weeks.

We say: Benfica 1-1 Juventus


These two European giants are experiencing very different campaigns to date, with the Eagles of Benfica flying high and apparently unbeatable; the Old Lady has significantly slowed.

Nonetheless, an experienced Juve side can muster all their guile to grind out a draw - though that will not be enough for them to stay in the mix for a top-two finish.
