The UEFA Champions League 2025/26 has begun, and for the first time, the final will be played at Hungary’s Puskás Aréna.
The new Champions League format continues for a second season, having started in 2024 and running through to 2027. The traditional group stage is gone, replaced by a single 36-team league table where every club plays eight matches against different opponents.
Champions League Predictions 24/02/2026 to 25/02/2026
Atl. Madrid vs. Club Brugge
Tip – GG
Atlético Madrid are a clinical outfit at the Metropolitano, churning out an average of 2.8 goals per match in this year’s Champions League. But – and it’s a big but – they just can’t seem to tighten up at the back, and they’ve already let in goals in every one of their European matches so far this season. Club Brugge on the other hand are coming off a run of high-scoring affairs, their matches averaging a whopping 4 goals per game.
Bayer Leverkusen vs. Olympiacos
Tip – 1
Bayer Leverkusen are looking to carry their recent momentum into this home leg after a convincing 2-0 win in the first leg. At the BayArena, Leverkusen have been absolutely dominant of late – that 3-0 thrashing of Villarreal was a big statement, and their 4-0 win over St. Pauli shows just how potent they can be on their own turf. They average an impressive 1.7 goals a game in the Champions League, and Olympiacos has shown some grit in earlier rounds – but when it comes to taking on the German elite, they tend to struggle, and being two goals down already leaves them exposed to Leverkusen’s home form.
Inter vs. Bodo/Glimt
Tip – 1
For Inter Milan, this is a must-win situation after that shock 3-1 first-leg defeat. Inter’s home form at the San Siro has been a major factor in their campaign, and they’ve been looking particularly strong there – winning 63% of their home games so far this season, and also pulling off a big win over Atlético.
Newcastle vs. Qarabag
Tip – Ov 2.5
Newcastle United have already wrapped up their progression after a 6-1 demolition of Qarabag in the first leg. And at St. James’ Park, the Magpies are a force to be reckoned with – they’re averaging 2.6 goals a match in European competition this term. Anthony Gordon has been the standout player so far, chipping in with a goal or assist in every match. Qarabag’s defence has been pretty leaky, and they’ve conceded a whopping 21 goals in just 8 matches.
Atalanta vs. Dortmund
Tip – Ov 2.5
This one’s a real firecracker – Atalanta and Dortmund are two of the biggest attacking threats in the Champions League, so a high-scoring match is almost a certainty. Dortmund, though, have had a big problem away from home in this competition, conceding an average of two goals a match in their recent outings.
Juventus vs. Galatasaray
Tip – GG
For Juventus, this game is a must-win after that 5-2 first-leg thrashing, and they’ll need to be on the front foot if they want to get anything out of it. But the Italian side has a bit of a problem on their hands – they’ve conceded in each of their last 5 matches, including a recent 3-2 stumble. So expect an open game at the very least.
PSG vs. Monaco
Tip – 1
PSG are all but unstoppable at the Parc des Princes, where they’ve won 6 of their last 7 league games. Monaco are in a world of trouble right now, having lost 7 of their last 8 matches and looking as leaky as a sieve at the back. PSG have a pretty good record against Monaco too – they’ve won 4 of the last 6 meetings, including a 4-1 thrashing last time out.
Real Madrid vs. Benfica
Tip – 1
Real Madrid are basically unbeatable at home in the Champions League, where they’ve won 12 of their last 13 matches. And even though Benfica managed a win in the first leg, the Spanish giants have the class and the home-field advantage to dictate the tempo of this one.
