The Champions League quarterfinals conclude tonight as Manchester City head to Germany to take on Bayern Munich while Napoli host AC Milan in an all-Italian encounter. City posted a dominant 3-0 win over Bayern last week and it will be interesting to see how the German giants respond in front of their home crowd. Meanwhile, Napoli have been cruising to the domestic Serie A title and will hope to prove why they are the best team in Italy as they look to overturn a 1-0 deficit to Milan.

Bayern Munich vs Manchester City best bet: Man City ML (+145)

Manchester City sent shockwaves across Europe with a 3-0 thrashing of Bayern Munich in the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal last week and the English club can finish the job with another victory at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday. City was scintillating in its win at the Etihad Stadium and heads into the second leg having scored at least 3 times in 6 straight games and on a 10-game winning streak.

Bayern Munich is going through a tricky spell and has won only 2 of its last 6 games. New coach Thomas Tuchel’s tenure started with an excellent 4-2 win over Borussia Dortmund, but that was swiftly followed by a cup defeat to Freiburg, the City loss and a tie with Hoffenheim on Saturday. It would be no surprise to see them struggling once more against City.

Inter Milan vs Benfica best bet: Under 2.5 goals (-110)

Nine of Inter’s last 10 games have featured under 2.5 goals and that trend should continue in Wednesday’s Champions League quarterfinal second leg against Benfica. Second legs typically feature more goals in European soccer elimination games, but when Inter and Benfica reconvene at the San Siro this week, goals could again be at a premium.

Inter won 2-0 in a tight first leg in Lisbon, with one of their goals coming from the penalty spot and the teams managed just 6 shots on target between them. The return leg could also be low-scoring with each of Inter’s last 6 games featuring under 2.5 goals, which looks the best bet again.
