UEFA Champions League and Europa League action has resumed and I will reveal my predictions for this next round and the latest odds for Europe’s top two continental tournaments.
[ LIVE: Champions League scores ]
With Manchester City still in the Champions League and Manchester United still in the Europa League, there is a lot at stake for the two Premier League clubs in the coming week.
Just because the Premier League season is over doesn’t mean the action is over. Far from it. Both Manchester clubs are bookmakers’ favorites to seal their respective European glory.

The Europa League semi-finals and Champions League quarter-finals will take place in the coming days, while the mini-tournaments will take place in Germany and Portugal.
Man City beat Real Madrid 4-2 overall, while Chelsea lost Bayern 7-1 overall after dropping out of the Champions League. Man United beat Copenhagen in extra time and will face Sevilla in the semifinals and are the only club in the Premier League after the Wolves have been eliminated by Sevilla.
Lisbon, Portugal, will host Champions League matches from the quarter-finals onwards, while Europa League matches will be hosted throughout Germany.
Below is a look at my predictions, odds for this week’s matches and how to watch and follow all matches in the US.
