Manchester United vs Atletico Madrid

Manchester United beat Tottenham 3-2 on Saturday to snap a three-match losing streak and get their push for a top-four finish back on track. Only two of United's last five games have been won at Old Trafford.

Atletico Madrid has only won one of their last five games in all competitions, a 1-1 tie with Manchester United in the first leg last month. Diego Simeone's squad has won their past two away games, which is a positive sign.

Nothing could separate the two clubs in the first leg at the Wanda Metropolitano, and this one could go the distance in Manchester.

Prediction: Manchester United 1-1 Atletico Madrid

Ajax vs Benfica

Ajax gave up the lead twice in Lisbon last month, and their defensive commitment has been questioned recently. Indeed, they've conceded in four of their previous five games, and they needed late goals to win RKC Waalwijk and Cambuur to keep their title hopes alive.

Benfica lost more momentum in the Liga Bwin title race on Friday night as they were halted at home by relegation-threatened Vizela. They showed grit in coming back from two goals down to tie with Ajax in the first leg, and they are now unbeaten in their previous seven games in all competitions.

Ajax's defense hasn't been at its best in recent weeks, and despite winning their past two games 3-2, the same could happen in midweek.

Prediction: Ajax 3-2 Benfica

Juventus vs Villarreal

In the first leg, Juventus took an early lead over Villarreal, but Dani Parejo equalized midway through the second half to tie the score. The Old Lady has won eight of their last ten home games.

Villarreal have only lost one of their past eight games, but their recent away play has been poor. They have lost three of their last five matches across all competitions, but they have won two of their three away group stage games.

Juventus has injury concerns in several crucial places, but considering their recent home form, the Serie A superpower has the ability to defeat Villarreal.

Prediction: Juventus 2-1 Villarreal

LOSC vs Chelsea

Lille rebounded impressively from their 2-0 setback to Chelsea in the first leg, scoring seven points out of a possible nine. On Friday night, they were held to a 0-0 draw by relegation-threatened Saint-Etienne.

Chelsea won a late 1-0 victory over Newcastle on Sunday to cap off a difficult week. Despite the pressures on and off the field, Thomas Tuchel manages to keep his team focused on the task at hand, which is a positive for the Blues.

Lille has only lost twice at home this season, so this won't be easy for Chelsea, but they should be able to book their place in the quarter-finals on Wednesday.

Prediction: LOSC 1-1 Chelsea
