Ajax vs Benfica
The titans of their nations' domestic leagues, the two heavyweights will settle scores to decide who avoids last place in the UCL table. Ajax currently hold the title of the worst goal difference in the league, while Benfica are struggling to gain momentum under Jose Mourinho.
Prediction: Ajax 1-2 Benfica
Best Bet: Benfica to score first + Over 2 cards
Dortmund vs Villareal
The Yellow Submarines travel to the Signal Iduna Park to take on the fierce Yellow Wall. Villareal obtained 1 point from 4 games in a disappointing start to the season, and this game proves to be a challenging matchup.
Prediction: Dortmund 2-0 Villareal
Best Bet: Dortmund to keep a clean sheet + Dortmund to win both halves
Chelsea vs Barcelona
The two giants currently sit on equal points, separated merely by goal difference. Barcelona travel to Stamford Bridge in what proves to be a game defined by fluid, dynamic attacks and error-prone defending.
Prediction: Chelsea 2-3 Barcelona
Best Bet: Over 2.5 goals + Lewandowski to score + Enzo Fernandez to get booked
PSG vs Spurs
Last year’s winners host the North London side at the Parc de Prince. Ever the dominant force in domestic football, PSG will look to continue their European run and challenge for the title for the second consecutive year. Spurs will look to regain momentum after a disastrous North London derby over the weekend.
Prediction: PSG 3-1 Spurs
Best Bet: PSG to win both halves + Doue to score/assist
Arsenal vs Bayern
A battle for the number one place in the qualification stages, Bayern travel to North London to face the Premier League leaders. The matchup of the matchweek proves to be a spectacle as the domestic leaders duke it out for 1st place in the league phase table.
Prediction: Arsenal 1-1 Bayern
Best Bet: Kane SOT + Gabriel over 3 tackles
Atletico Madrid vs Inter Milan
Inter have looked remarkably resilient both domestically and on the continent. They travel to a lacklustre Atletico side, which has struggled to break out of its slump in recent years.
Prediction: Atletico 0-2 Inter
Best Bet: Inter to keep a clean sheet + Thuram SOT
Manchester City vs Bayer Leverkusen
City’s home dominance and attacking depth should give them control. Leverkusen will press high and create chances but may be exposed defensively.
Prediction: Man City 3-1 Leverkusen
Best bet: Man City to win & over 2.5 goals
Marseille vs Newcastle United
Marseille are fierce at home, but Newcastle’s direct play and set-piece threat can cause trouble. A tactical and physical clash expected.
Prediction: Marseille 1-1 Newcastle
Best bet: Both teams to score
Eintracht Frankfurt vs Atalanta
Two teams that love attacking transitions. Open game likely with chances both ways, could be one of the round’s highlights.
Prediction: Frankfurt 2-2 Atalanta
Best bet: Both teams to score & over 2.5 goals
Liverpool vs PSV Eindhoven
Liverpool at Anfield should dictate the match; PSV dangerous in attack but defensively vulnerable under pressure.
Prediction: Liverpool 3-1 PSV
Best bet: Liverpool to win & both teams to score
Olympiacos vs Real Madrid
Olympiacos at home will push physically and the atmosphere is intense — but Madrid’s quality should tell eventually. Prediction: Olympiacos 1-2 Real Madrid Best bet: Real Madrid to win & under 3.5 goals
Final Thoughts
Matchweek 5 offers a set of critical fixtures at both ends of the league phase table. The standout fixture is Arsenal vs Bayern at the Emirates. Chelsea vs Barcelona proves to be a classic fixture reminiscent of the early 2010s, while PSG looks to continue their momentum against Spurs. Could Jose pull Benfica across the line in Amsterdam while Simeone attempts to hold off the Neroazzuri?
