Wednesday, Feb. 21 predictions: the last two Champions League round of 16 matches are played, a Conference League match and there is a Premier League rematch.
The first leg of the Champions League round of 16 closes this Wednesday with the last two matches, Napoli-Barcelona and Porto-Arsenal. Napoli president De Laurentiis eventually decided to relieve Mazzarri, who had taken over from Rudi Garcia, choosing Calzona, former assistant to Sarri and Spalletti and current technical commissioner of Slovakia, as his third coach of the season.
Barcelona is not doing very well and Xavi’s bench is also in the balance.Goals should not be lacking given the obvious limitations of the two defenses, which in their last eight games played have kept their goals unbeaten on only one occasion.
Other match predictions
In the other challenge Porto’s only hopes of qualification go through the home first leg match, but Conceicao’s team is not in its brightest period while Arsenal is in splendid form with 21 goals scored in the last 5 consecutive wins.
Victory likely for Liverpool in contention to win the Premier League in the rematch against Luton. Gent-Maccabi Haifa of the Conference League is played in advance with the hosts called upon to make up for the first leg defeat.
