Wednesday's Champions League predictions including Juventus vs. PSG

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's Champions League fixtures, including Juventus vs. Paris Saint-Germain.


Real Madrid vs. Celtic (Wednesday, 5.45pm)

Group leaders Real Madrid welcome already-eliminated Celtic to the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday night, looking to seal top spot in Group F with a win.

Los Blancos lost their first competitive game since April as they fell to RB Leipzig last Tuesday, and also stumbled to Girona on the weekend in LaLiga, while their Scottish visitors won comfortably at Livingston after their Champions League fate was confirmed in midweek.

We say: Real Madrid 2-0 Celtic


After a slight blip from Ancelotti's men, we expect a professional performance here to get the job done in the Champions League.

Los Blancos need a win to secure top spot, while Celtic are playing for nothing but pride, so we can see a solid, if unspectacular, win for the talent-stacked hosts.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Shakhtar vs. RB Leipzig (Wednesday, 5.45pm)

Shakhtar Donetsk must beat RB Leipzig in the Champions League on Wednesday in order to progress to the knockout stages.

A point would be enough to see Leipzig advance to the last 16, although they need to win to stand any chance of overtaking Real Madrid at the top of Group F.

We say: Shakhtar Donetsk 1-3 RB Leipzig


We expect Shakhtar to push their opponents all of the way in Warsaw on Wednesday, but game state could play a large part in terms of dictating which direction that the result heads in.

Providing that Leipzig can avoid falling behind early on, gaps should open up as the Ukrainian Premier League runners-up push for a winner, with the likes of Timo Werner and Christopher Nkunku perfectly placed to punish them in transition should that be the case.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Chelsea vs. Dinamo Zagreb (Wednesday, 8.00pm)

A Chelsea side already guaranteed to finish first in Champions League Group E round off the section at home to Dinamo Zagreb on Wednesday night at Stamford Bridge.

Meanwhile, their Croatian counterparts cannot qualify for the last 16 but are still in with a chance of grabbing the consolation prize of Europa League football.

We say: Chelsea 2-0 Dinamo Zagreb


While that humbling at the hands of Brighton was a shock to the system for Chelsea, Dinamo Zagreb have flattered to deceive themselves in recent weeks and cannot rely on fond memories of their earlier win over the Blues to get them over the line.

A wealth of changes can be expected on the hosts' end, but the importance of a confidence-boosting win before hosting Arsenal cannot be underestimated, and we have faith in Potter's sight to rectify Saturday's mistakes and progress to the last 16 on a high.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

AC Milan vs. Salzburg (Wednesday, 8.00pm)

Needing only a draw to progress to the Champions League knockout stage, AC Milan attempt to hold Red Bull Salzburg at arm's length when the teams meet at San Siro on Wednesday.

While top spot in Group E is already decided, with Chelsea set to finish first, the Rossoneri must avoid defeat or face being leapfrogged by their visitors into second place.

We say: AC Milan 1-1 Red Bull Salzburg


Milan have conceded in each of their last six home games in the Champions League and were also held to a 1-1 draw when these teams last met in September. Having appeared off the pace on Sunday, they will have to step up again to handle an energetic Salzburg side: they should do so, but not without a scare or two along the way.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Man City vs. Sevilla (Wednesday, 8.00pm)

Manchester City will aim to preserve their unbeaten record in Group G of the Champions League when they welcome Sevilla to the Etihad Stadium for their final group game on Wednesday.

The Citizens have already qualified for the last 16 as group winners, while the visitors will drop down into the Europa League knockout rounds after securing third spot.

We say: Manchester City 2-0 Sevilla


Both sides will have more important fixtures to prioritise in the coming weeks before the World Cup than Wednesday's clash, and neither team is expected to be at full strength here.

Nevertheless, Man City will still be regarded as favourites with their superior squad depth and they should have enough quality to come away with a routine victory at the Etihad Stadium.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Copenhagen vs. Dortmund (Wednesday, 8.00pm)

Borussia Dortmund conclude their Champions League group-stage campaign with a trip to Denmark to face Copenhagen on Wednesday night.

While the hosts are guaranteed to finish bottom of Group G, the visitors have already secured their place in the last 16 with a game to spare.

We say: Copenhagen 0-2 Borussia Dortmund


Copenhagen will be keen to end their group-stage campaign on a high and at least score their first goal in this season's competition to give the home supporters something to cheer about.

However, they may struggle to breach Dortmund's resilient backline, which has kept three clean sheets in the last four matches, and the German outfit will be regarded as favourites to claim maximum points even if they decide to rest a few star names.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Juventus vs. PSG (Wednesday, 8.00pm)

Juventus round off a doomed Champions League campaign when they tackle Group H leaders Paris Saint-Germain at the Allianz Stadium on Wednesday night.

The final whistle cannot come quickly enough in Europe for Massimiliano Allegri's eliminated side, while the visitors are still vying for top spot with Benfica.

We say: Juventus 1-3 Paris Saint-Germain


PSG cannot always rely on their talented forward line to drag them out of trouble, but Juventus are in big trouble themselves, with Allegri's injury crisis worsening by the week.

Even without Vlahovic, the hosts can feel confident about breaching the Parisiens' leaky backline at a ground where goals have been aplenty, but a full-strength PSG can expose a weakened Juventus XI themselves to finish first and leave the Old Lady at risk of no European football after the World Cup.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Maccabi Haifa vs. Benfica (Wednesday, 8.00pm)

Still vying for top spot in Group H of the Champions League, Benfica meet Maccabi Haifa on the final matchday at Sammy Ofer Stadium.

While the Eagles are already through thanks to last week's win over Juventus, they trail Paris Saint-Germain on goal difference after drawing both meetings with the French club 1-1. Their hosts, meanwhile, need points to pip Juve to a place in the Europa League.

We say: Maccabi Haifa 1-3 Benfica


On home soil at least, Maccabi Haifa have proven they can pose a threat. However, keeping opponents out at the other end has proved a far greater challenge, so a Benfica team with momentum on their side are set to score more than once; finishing a superb group campaign in style.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.
