16/03/2026|SB Staff|Soccer Tips & Predictions
UCL Round of 16 2nd leg day 2.

On Thursday, March 19, the final eight teams remaining in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 will face each other in their second legs to see who advances.

Games to be played and the aggregate scores are as follows:

  • Barcelona vs Newcastle (1-1) (04:45 AEDT)
  • Tottenham vs Atlético Madrid (2-5) (07:00 AEDT)
  • Liverpool vs Galatasaray (0-1) (07:00 AEDT)
  • Bayern vs Atalanta (6-1) (07:00 AEDT)

Quick Picks

Our pick: Barcelona to win

Value bet: Over 2.5 goals in Barcelona vs Newcastle

Long shot: Liverpool to win 2-0

Betting Preview

Two ties appear to be firmly in the balance, while two others appear to have a winner already determined following the first-leg results.

Atletico's dismantling of Tottenham in Spain (via the help of some very poor defending), and Bayern's destruction of Atalanta in Italy in their respective first-leg ties would suggest that the odds are firmly in both of their favour heading into the next round.

However, the other two ties are firmly poised.

Barcelona needed a late Lamine Yamal penalty to keep things level in their tie with Newcastle, having gone behind to a Harvey Barnes effort with just four minutes left of normal time. Hansi Flick's team have been strong at home. Newcastle have travelled well.

Liverpool need to find a goal to tie their game against Galatasaray, having suffered their second 1-0 defeat to the Turkish giants in Istanbul in this year's competition. This time, Mario Lemina managed to score the winning effort, doing so just seven minutes into the game.

Pressure will be on the Reds and Arne Slot's side, as Anfield will likely be a hostile venue with fans demanding improved performances from their players.

Betting Markets to Watch

Barcelona's tie with Newcastle could see goals, which is where we see value. The 'Over 2.5 Goals' market has hit in each of Barcelona's last 19 Champions League home matches, while it has hit eight times in Newcastle's last 10 matches in this year's competition. If you're new to Champions League betting, understanding these trends can help inform your selections.

In the Liverpool vs Galatasaray game, a lack of goals is likely to be the outcome. The 'Under 2.5 Goals' market has hit in 10 of Liverpool's last 11 Champions League Round of 16 matches (regular time only).

In addition, the 'Both Teams to Score' market has failed to hit in 10 of Liverpool's last 11 Champions League Round of 16 matches (regular time only). Liverpool's Premier League betting form has been strong this season, and they'll be looking to translate that dominance to European competition.

Our predictions are as follows:

  • Barcelona vs Newcastle (1-1): Barcelona to win, over 2.5 goals.
  • Tottenham vs Atlético Madrid (2-5): Atletico to win, Yes in BTTS as Spurs have to go for it but will likely leave them as exposed as they did in the first leg.
  • Liverpool vs Galatasaray (0-1): Liverpool to win, under 2.5 goals.
  • Bayern vs Atalanta (6-1): Bayern to win, No BTTS as Atalanta haven't scored in their last two away games. For those interested in betting on Italian football, Atalanta's domestic form has been far more impressive than their European away performances.
