Hey y’all. Its the Round of 16 in the Champions League. We are in the knockout stages of the competition where its score more goals or go home. Here’s what that means.
Round of 16 Rules
- The Round of 16 is made up of the group winners and runners up from the 8 groups in the Champions League group stages.
- The teams play two games, with each team playing one game at home
- Group winners host their second game in the round of 16
- The team that scores more goals over the two game advances to the next round
- If the score at the end of both games is tied, the away-goals rule is applied (the away-rule is simple, who scored the most goals away from home)

PSG v Real Madrid
Where: Parcs de Princes

Real Madrid would be slight favorites with both squads at full strength but Karim Benzema is a game time decision so PSG will be favorites at home. This is going to be a close matchup over two games and we expect PSG to take the first game.

Sporting Lisbon v Manchester City
Where: Estádio José Alvalade
Time: 3pm Eastern | 2pm Central

Sporting has a good side but they would have to have a great day out and Manchester City have a horror show. Manchester City doesn’t have horror show outings so expect Manchester City to dominate the game and easily win.

Salzburg doesn’t have the fire power to keep up with Bayern so expect Bayern to get out to a comfortable lead away from home. Salzburg might grab a goal to keep it interesting if Bayern turns off, but expect Bayern to win.
