PSG and Barcelona are set to clash in the next round and the bookmakers already have the French club favoured to progress to the next stage of the competition. Right now, in the outright qualification market, you’ll find PSG favoured at a 4/6 price while Lionel Messi and his charges have been priced at 11/10 to see it through to the next round. 

It’s probably not a big surprise that Liverpool were able to get the better of their group last time out and they come into their tie against RB Leipzig as the distinct favourites. The bookmakers have them listed around a ⅓ price tag to make it to the next round. 

It would be a major feather in the cap of the German side if they were able to get the better of both Manchester United and Liverpool in this competition and you definitely get the feeling that there are several players on this team who could wind up making serious moves to larger clubs once this season wraps up. The Champions League is one of the best stages for emerging players to book a spot on one of the continent’s top clubs. 

Leipzig are a 5/2 margin to progress to the next stage of the Champions League at the expense of Liverpool. 

Chelsea face a difficult draw against Atletico Madrid and, if the Blues can get past their Spanish opponents, then you might think they will have the feeling they just might be able to go out and win the whole thing. Atletico are a perennial contender and know a lot about winning trophies.
