Ajax is young and exciting and fun to watch, but they will need to be a lot more than that if they hope to overcome an experienced Juventus team at home. Cristiano Ronaldo is playing at his absolute best coming off an injury, having scored his record 125 UCL goal in the first leg of this matchup, a 1-1 tie in Amsterdam.

That isn’t to say that an Ajax win is impossible; after all, Juventus will be without their captain Giorgio Chiellini and forward Mario Mandzukic. Argentine Paulo Dybala is expected to wear the captain’s band for this matchup. Expect to see him in the attacking trident alongside Ronaldo and Federico Bernardeschi.

Unfortunately, Ajax may have to deal with injury issues of their own as midfielder Frenkie De Jong is possibly out with a hamstring injury.

Juventus has been in a similar, more pressing situation already in this same tournament. In the round of 16 against Atletico Madrid, they lost the first leg 2-0 only to come back and demolish the Spanish Club 3-0 in the second leg.

Barcelona (-275 money line, u3¼-122 total, -1½-107 goals) vs. Manchester United (+816 money line, o3¼+106 total, +1½-109 goals)

Manchester United is facing an uphill battle as they try to defeat Barcelona on the road after a 1-0 loss at home in which Barca pretty much-dominated play. In that first matchup, United couldn’t even force Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre Ter Stegen to make a save. Barcelona also has history on their side for this matchup; they have not lost a Champions League home game in their last 30 matches at Camp Nou, dating back to 2013.

The one thing Manchester United will have going for them in this game is their experience against PSG earlier in the tourney at the round of 16 when they came back from a 2-0 loss at home to score 3 goals in Paris and win. If they can replicate that against a similar (although more potent) Barcelona team, then they have hope of advancing.

Porto (+279 money line, u2½-111 total, +½-121 goals) vs. Liverpool (+111 money line, o2½-105 total, -½+105 goals)

The odds are closer in this one than one may think. Liverpool is still the favorite after winning the first leg 2-0, but they are more focused on their Premier League tourney and may decide to rest players in this matchup in order to have everyone healthy for the domestic league. These teams met last year in the Champions League Round of 16, and Liverpool demolished Porto 5-0.

Manchester City (-315 money line, u3¼-115 total, -1½-112 goals) vs. Tottenham Hotspur (+936 money line, o3¼-101 total, +1½-104 goals)

The big news in this game is that Harry Kane will not be available after going down in the last match, which Tottenham still won 1-0 thanks to a Son Heung-min goal in the 78th minute. That puts the pressure on Manchester to win by a pair of goals at home, which they should be able to do easily.
