Look for a highly impressive day of Soccer/Futbol as the match ups for this draw are quite intriguing, with plenty of explosive big name teams that are certain to entertain with their styles of technical play, especially in the final third where goals are produced.

                                          20401 Barcelona - 20402 Juventus

                                                    Camp Nou, Barcelona

The premier match of the day has to be the Quarter Finals rematch between the new look Barcelona, and the Italian Giants Juventus.

With the departure of Neymar who departed for PSG as the most expensive transfer in Club Football history, the Catalans will usher in the post era with the signing of starlet French Forward Ousmane Dembele from Dortmund in attempts of filling the hole left by the Brazilian Magician in Barcelona's famed 4-3-3 line up.

Juventus enter tomorrows contest missing several key players in their backline, which when facing the likes of Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez on the font line is a scary proposition for the Old Lady who could be in for a long day in Spain, as Barcelona have revenge on their mind from a 3-0 defeat in Italy last campaign and being eliminated by the Italians.

Barcelona scored 8 goals in their last 3 home games.

Barcelona had 1 of their 3 previous games finish over 2.5 goals

Juventus scored 7 goals in their last 3 away games.

Juventus had 3 of their 3 previous games finish over 2.5 goals.

                                         20404 Bayern Munchen - 20405 Anderlecht

                                                      Allianz Arena, Munich

Bayern Munich start their Champions League journey by welcoming Belium Champions Anderlecht to the Allianz Arena.

Bayern are coming off a disappointing loss over the weekend to Hoffenheim for the second straight year, even though the Bavarian Giants pried away their two best players over the summer.

Anderlecht are optimistic they will be able to complete the upset and advance to the round of sixteen, but knocking off a Bayern Munich team who should be extra focused after their weekend lapse may be more than they are able to handle.

Bayern have won 16 of last 17 #UCL home games

Star Midfielder Arturo Vidal will serve a one-match ban

Anderlecht will be participating in the group stage for first time since 2014/15.

Bayern have won 6 of 7 home games v Belgian sides

                                                                  Plays:

                              Bayern Munich Team Total Over 3 -150  *Goals*

                                                20410 Celtic - 20411 PSG

                                                    Celtic Park, Glasgow

Irish Champions Celtic will welcome the new popular pick to capture the Champions League title with the additions of Neymar from Barcelona, and more recently the teenage sensation Kylian Mbappe from Monaco, to go along with Edison Cavani on the front line to form one of, if not the most dangerous attack in Europe.

Celtic will not be phased by the French super team after facing off with a powerful Manchester City Team in the Group stage last year and held their own with a 3-3 Draw.

Look for a offensive game in this match up as both teams like to go forward, with both outfits having more than enough fire power to finish in the final third.

Celtic scored 11 goals in their last 3 home games.

Celtic had 2 of the 3 previous games end over 2.5 goals

Paris Saint Germain had 6 goals in total for their entire previous game.

Paris Saint Germain had scored in 3 of the last 3 games.

Paris Saint Germain had 3 of the 3 previous games end over 2.5 goals.

                                     Over 3 -135 - 3.25 -115  *Total FG Goals*

                                         Both Teams To Score  "YES"  -110

                                 20149 Olympiakos - 20150 Sporting Lisbon

                                The Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium, Athens

Olympiakos and Sporting Lisbon will match up in a battle of two teams that earned their spots through the playoff format, pitted in Group D which include Barcelona and Juventus, bought teams know that collecting 3 points will be vital if they have any chances of advancing out of their group into the next Round.

This should be a fairly even match up with bought teams playing with similar styles, both teams have above average squads with plenty of attacking talent.

I anticipate bought teams getting on the score board with the Visitors having the ability to leave with all 3 points.

Olympiacos scored 8 goals in their last 3 home games.

Sporting CP scored 13 goals in their last 3 away games.

Sporting CP had 3 of the 3 previous games ended over 2.5 goals.

                                                                  Plays:

                                       Over 0.75 -125 Total 1st Half  *Goal*

                                    Over 2 -140 - 2.25 +110  *Total FG Goals*

                                        Both Teams To Score  *YES* -110

                                   

                                                    

                                                      Best Of Luck To All
