2 - 0
Correct result - 2 points
The Game Notes: Atlético head into this one in excellent form after stringing together several wins, while United have struggled for consistency in the league and continue to deal with injury concerns. Old Trafford may have helped them in Europe last time out, but Atlético's home advantage and stronger recent form make a narrow victory for the hosts a sensible call.

3 - 0
Correct result - 2 points
The Game Notes: Arsenal have made an impressive start to their European campaign, winning their opening match against Napoli, and remain difficult to break down at home. Lille have shown they can be competitive but were beaten in their opener, so Arsenal should have enough control and quality to secure another win.
LASKv
LiverpoolPredicted

Actual
3 - 6
Correct result - 2 points
The Game Notes: Liverpool will be keen to bounce back after a heavy league defeat, but their European form has been more encouraging and they began the campaign with a win over Atlético. LASK have struggled to carry their strong domestic start into Europe, and Liverpool's extra quality should tell despite some important absences.

The Game Notes: City arrive with renewed confidence after an impressive 3-0 win at Anfield and have a strong record at home against PSG in European competition. The visitors have plenty of attacking firepower themselves, so this should be a close contest, but City's home advantage could prove decisive.

The Game Notes: Villa have shown they can compete in Europe and remain dangerous going forward, although their home form has been less convincing than usual this season. Fenerbahçe have had mixed results recently but possess enough attacking threat to make this difficult, so a high-scoring draw looks a realistic outcome.
Romav
Real MadridPredicted

Actual
3 - 4
Correct result - 2 points
The Game Notes: Roma have started their European campaign with a draw and have looked solid domestically, but they face a Madrid side that knows how to navigate difficult Champions League away games. Madrid were not entirely convincing in their opening European match, yet their experience and attacking quality should give them the edge in a tight encounter.
