NAME: James Benge
PICK: Villarreal 1, Manchester United 1
MAN: Geronimo Rulli
WHY: Villarreal probably didn’t have the offensive firepower to inflict too much damage on United but a good performance in the backline and they could be enough to prey on United’s insecurities to snatch a point.

NAME: Chuck’s stall
PICK: Villarreal 1, Manchester United 2
MAN: Cristiano Ronaldo
WHY: With Ole’s departure, a return to basics will see Manchester United run the business with UCL himself Cristiano Ronaldo leading the team to victory.

NAME: Mike L. Goodman
PICK: Villarreal 1, Manchester United 0
MAN: Dani Parego

PICK: Villarreal 1, Manchester United 1
MAN: David de Gea

Chelsea vs. Juventus, Tuesday, 3 p.m. ET (Supreme +)

Featured game | Chelsea vs. Juventus

NAME: James Benge
PICK: Chelsea 2, Juventus 0
MAN: N’Golo Kante
WHY: Chelsea are starting to slouch at both ends of the pitch and the Frenchman rarely disappoints in the biggest games.

NAME: Chuck’s stall
PICK: Chelsea 1, Juventus 1
MAN: Reece James
WHY: This is a tough group with both Chelsea and Juventus getting good results this weekend. As a two-goal win could put Chelsea at the top of the table, I think they’ll go strong here but it won’t be enough as they can get a draw.

NAME: Mike L. Goodman
PICK: Chelsea 1, Juventus 0
MAN: Reece James
WHY: James has joined Chelsea in the last two months and Tuchel is adjusting his tactics to keep the full-back active. Juventus’ defense has improved recently, but James is in a form that can make even the best of defences look silly.

NAME: Jonathan Johnson
PICK: Chelsea 1, Juventus 0
MAN: Jorginho
WHY: Thomas Tuchel didn’t like first or second and the group makeup was just challenging enough to overtake Massimiliano Allegri for the top spot. It will be tight, though.

Featured game | Barcelona vs. Benfica

NAME: James Benge
PICK: Barcelona 1, Benfica 0

NAME: Chuck’s stall
PICK: Barcelona 2, Benfica 0
MAN: Memphis Depay
WHY: One Memphis Depay a day keeps the doctor away. Barcelona will bring their derby win with them and good feelings to have Xavi on the line to secure a spot in the next round of UCL.

NAME: Mike L. Goodman
PICK: Barcelona 1, Benfica 0
MAN: Gerard Pique
WHY: One thing Xavi knows well is that sometimes against a solid defense even if you have all the possession in the world, a key defender needs to have a set goal to get the three points. necessary, needs.

NAME: Jonathan Johnson
PICK: Barcelona 2, Benfica 1
MAN: Memphis Depay
WHY: This may need a winner later to decide it, but Xavi will get his first Champions League win to continue his fine start at Camp Nou.

Manchester City vs. Paris Saint-Germain, Wednesday, 3 p.m. ET (Supreme +)

Featured game | Manchester City vs. PSG

NAME: James Benge
PICK: Man City 2, PSG 0
MAN: Phil Foden
WHY: PSG are in doubt and at odds while Man City are on a journey with plenty of space to accelerate. This could be an opportunity for Guardiola’s men to really put their muscles in motion.

NAME: Chuck’s stall
PICK: Man City 2, PSG 2
MAN: Joao Cancelo
WHY: As always, this is a match that can go both ways. Messi could not have scored his first goal for PSG at a better time with Man City approaching but Cancelo’s form has been unbelievable.

NAME: Mike L. Goodman
PICK: Man City 2, PSG 0
MAN: Phil Foden
WHY: Man City continue to impress, while PSG’s struggling version despite their stars’ continued lack of performance. In this case, it would be Foden’s trick that yields the date.

NAME: Jonathan Johnson
PICK: Man City 1, PSG 2
MAN: Kylian Mbappe
WHY: While all eyes will be on Mauricio Pochettino as United’s links grow, the French giants will produce one of their best performances of the season.

NAME: Chuck’s stall
PICK: Atletico Madrid 2, AC Milan 0
MAN: Angel Correa
WHY: Milan have shown that they are not a strong enough team to compete on both fronts, so with the chance to win Serie A, I cannot understand why they would want to win this game when it gives them more European matches. .

NAME: Mike L. Goodman
PICK: Atletico Madrid 0, AC Milan 1
MAN: Brahim Diaz
WHY: It was a hugely disappointing return for CL for Milan despite some encouraging performances. Look for a typical Atleti defense, countered by a moment of magic.

NAME: Jonathan Johnson
PICK: Atletico Madrid 1, AC Milan 1
MAN: Antoine Griezmann
WHY: Both teams can win although it won’t change much with the Italians qualifying for the Europa League and the Spaniards second.

Featured game | Sheriff Tiraspol vs. Real Madrid

NAME: James Benge
PICK: FC Sheriff 0, Real Madrid 4
MAN: Karim Benzema

PICK: FC Sheriff 0, Real Madrid 2
MAN: Vinicius Junior
WHY: The Sheriff has had a Champions League for ages but Real Madrid won’t appear twice before them.

NAME: Mike L. Goodman
PICK: FC Sheriff 0, Real Madrid 2
MAN: Karim Benzema
