Manchester City vs Bayern Munich best bet: Manchester City ML (-150)
Winning the Champions League has been the top priority for Manchester City, as the trophy continues to elude them after years of EPL success. The English giants must come through a challenging schedule if they are to reign supreme this year, starting with a testing two-leg quarterfinal against Bayern Munich. But the good news for City is that this Bayern Munich team is still adapting to life under the recently appointed coach Thomas Tuchel and the home team should claim a huge win in Manchester today.
Tuchel has won 2 of his first 3 games in charge but Bayern was given a thorough workout by Borussia Dortmund in Der Klassiker and lost to Freiburg in the German Cup recently before beating the same team 1-0 in the Bundesliga on Saturday. City, meanwhile, has looked flawless of late, racking up 8 straight wins in all competitions and scoring 23 goals in its last 4 games. This matchup should be tighter than those recent routs but City has the offensive firepower to get the better of Bayern and take a big step towards the semifinals of this season’s Champions League.

Benfica vs Inter Milan best bet: Benfica ML (+125)
Benfica eased past Club Brugge 7-1 on aggregate in the last 16 of the Champions League and the Portuguese club can follow that with a win over Inter in the first leg of their quarterfinal tie at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon on Tuesday.
The Primeira Liga outfit took 7 points from 3 home games in the group stage of this tournament, finishing above Juventus and PSG, while Inter is on a 6-game winless run in all competitions.
