PSG vs Newcastle
Final Score: 1 - 1
The Game Notes: PSG have been seriously solid at the Parc des Princes this season, while Newcastle’s away form in the league has been a lot less convincing, which tilts a tight game towards the hosts. With both sides level on points in the Champions League league phase and a top-eight spot on the line, expect a tense, high-tempo night - PSG’s slightly stronger goal output should be enough to edge it, even if Newcastle grab one on the break.

Napoli vs Chelsea
Final Score: 2 - 3
The Game Notes: With this being the final league-phase night, Napoli look like they have to chase a win to stay alive in the competition, while Chelsea are better placed and can afford to be a bit more patient. That setup usually makes for a scrappy, open second half - Napoli can nick a goal at home, but Chelsea’s steadier recent results and cleaner tournament position give them the edge in a tight 2–1 away win.

Liverpool vs Qarabag FK
Final Score: 6 - 0
The Game Notes: Liverpool at Anfield in Europe is usually a pretty tough assignment, and with a direct knockout spot still within reach they’ve got every reason to go for it from the off. Qarabag have shown they can be awkward and grab goals even when they’re under pressure, but the step up in pace and the long trip makes it hard to see them holding out for 90 - hence a 3–1 home win.

Man City vs Galatasaray
Final Score: 2 - 0
The Game Notes: City head into the final league-phase night needing a strong home win to boost their position and avoid the extra play-off round, so the game should be played on their terms with plenty of pressure and territory. Galatasaray haven’t been as convincing on their Champions League travels, and with City typically tight at the Etihad in Europe, a controlled 3–0 makes sense.

Eintracht Frankfurt vs Spurs
Final Score: 0 - 2
The Game Notes: Spurs go into this one with a clear incentive - a win in Frankfurt locks in a top-eight finish - and they’ve generally looked more settled in Europe, especially defensively. Frankfurt are already out, but at home they’ll still try to make it uncomfortable and pinch a moment, which is why this feels like a narrow away win rather than a stroll: 2–1 Spurs.

We Predicted
Arsenal vs Kairat Almaty
Final Score: 3 - 2
The Game Notes: Arsenal come into this one in great shape in the Champions League league phase, and at the Emirates they’ve been piling on goals while keeping things pretty tight at the back. Kairat have struggled badly in this competition and have been leaking goals on the road, so it feels like a night where Arsenal control the tempo and turn it into a comfortable 4–0.
