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.

1. AFC Ajax vs SL Benfica
Ajax to win
Ajax hold a superior head-to-head record versus Benfica in European competition (4 wins, 3 draws, 2 losses) and have shown more consistency. Benfica’s away performances in high-level matches have been somewhat inconsistent, which favours Ajax in this context.

2. Galatasaray A.Ş. vs Royale Union Saint-Gilloise
Over 2.5 goals
Galatasaray have had matches with a decent goals-per-game average, and Union SG also tend to be in higher-scoring games (e.g., their past 6 major matches show 5 out of 6 games with over 2.5 goals). The combination points to a match likely seeing multiple goals rather than a low-scoring affair.
3. Borussia Dortmund vs Villarreal CF
Both teams to score (BTTS)
Dortmund have a strong home attack and a history of matches where both sides find the net. Villarreal, though sometimes inconsistent, have shown they can score away from home and tend to leave gaps defensively. The statistics show a high rate of “over” games for Villarreal and frequent BTTS.
4. Chelsea FC vs FC Barcelona
Barcelona to win
The head-to-head between Chelsea and Barcelona in European competition is very close (4 wins each, 6 draws) but Barcelona often have the edge in big-stage matches and have shown more consistency at the higher level. Given that context, Barcelona are the stronger pick.
5. FK Bodø/Glimt vs Juventus FC
Over 2.5 goals
Both teams have exhibited match-profiles with goal concessions and scoring. Bodø/Glimt’s home stats show they concede and score frequently, and Juventus away from home have been vulnerable. The combined data suggests a game with multiple goals.
6. Manchester City FC vs Bayer 04 Leverkusen
Manchester City to win
Leverkusen’s matches are consistently high-scoring 100% of their recent 6 matches were over 2.5 goals. Manchester City at home have the edge and typically dominate in big games. The statistical profile suggests City should assert control.

7. Olympique de Marseille vs Newcastle United FC
Over 2.5 goals
The recent statistics between Marseille and Newcastle show that a high proportion of Newcastle’s matches go over 2.5 goals (60%). Marseille have shown vulnerability at times and Newcastle bring a potent attack away from home. Combined, this leans toward a goal-rich match.
8. SK Slavia Praha vs Athletic Club
Athletic Club to win
Historically this fixture has only one recorded win (for Athletic) and no wins for Slavia in the head-to-head record. Athletic, playing away, have the tactical depth and experience to take advantage of Slavia. Slavia often press well but are less reliable on finishing in Europe. The edge goes to Athletic.
9. SSC Napoli vs Qarabağ FK
Under 2.5 goals
The head-to-head and team stats suggest a low-scoring affair: only 2 of the last 6 direct comparisons between them went over 2.5 goals. Napoli have been inconsistent and Qarabağ are capable of making it defensively tight, which supports the possibility of a quieter game.
10. Arsenal FC vs FC Bayern München
Bayern Munich to win
Arsenal lately have shown resilience at home, but when it comes to knockout-stage clashes against Bayern they carry a heavy psychological burden Bayern have beaten them in all four previous Champions League knockout ties. Also, Bayern’s away record vs English sides in Europe is strong. While Arsenal may try to use home advantage, Bayern’s experience and past dominance make them the safer pick.
11. Atlético de Madrid vs FC Internazionale Milano
Inter to win
Inter have been in excellent form overall and the statistical projections favour them significantly over Atlético in this kind of tie. Atlético at home against Italian opposition might have some advantage, but their recent knockout-stage performances in Europe have been mediocre. Meanwhile Inter’s consistency and recent results suggest they’ll carry the edge.
12. Liverpool FC vs PSV Eindhoven
Liverpool to win
Liverpool have a dominant head-to-head record vs PSV in the Champions League: they’ve won five of six meetings and have the best away win rate in recent seasons in Europe. PSV do have a good home undefeated run in European competition, but Liverpool’s experience and consistency (especially away) make them the stronger selection.
13. Olympiacos FC vs Real Madrid C.F.
Real Madrid to win
Real Madrid remain one of the elite sides in Europe and even if Olympiacos may benefit from home support or momentum, Madrid’s depth and quality give them the upper hand. While there isn’t a football-specific head-to-head that fully convinces, the pattern of big teams winning these ties in Europe supports this pick.
14. Paris Saint-Germain F.C. vs Tottenham Hotspur FC
PSG to win
PSG have significantly more firepower and recent success compared to Tottenham; Tottenham’s injury situation and squad depth are weaker. Given the context, PSG look likely to assert themselves and use home/favourite advantage.
