UEFA Champions League Predictions: Matchday 12/11 | OneFootball

The 2024–25 UEFA Champions League continues Wednesday, Dec. 11 with Borussia Dortmund hosting Barcelona, Juventus taking on Manchester City, Arsenal facing Monaco and more. SI Soccer gives our predictions for the slate of matches.

Atletico Madrid vs. Slovan Bratislava

Prediction: Atletico Madrid 3–0 Slovan Bratislava

Atletico Madrid has scored at least three goals in its last four games in all competitions. Diego Simeone's side put six past Sparta Praha over Thanksgiving week, and a similar result should occur this time out against the 35th place team in Slovan Bratislava.

LOSC Lille vs. SK Sturm Graz

Prediction: Lille 2–0 SK Sturm Graz

The Ligue 1 side get the job done at home with a strong chance of advancing to the next round, and potentially a bye to the round of 16.

Benfica vs. Bologna

Prediction: Benfica 2–1 Bologna

Benfica bounced back after a loss to Bayern Munich with a victory at Monaco last time out. The Portuguese side crosses over to double digit points against a Bologna team that's mustered just one point in its first five games.

AC Milan vs. Crvena zvezda

Prediction: AC Milan 3–1 Crvena zvezda

AC Milan will be without Christian Pulisic, but the Rossoneri should have no trouble dispatching Crvena zvezda.

Borussia Dortmund vs. Barcelona

Prediction: Borussia Dortmund 2–2 Barcelona

One of the highlight fixtures of the week. Hansi Flick's Barcelona has struggled in recent weeks with fatigue catching up to his squad. Dortmund, on the other hand, is the second highest scoring side in the competition so far with 16. The first? Barcelona. Should be plenty of goals in this game, but the points are shared.

Feyenoord vs. Sparta Praha

Prediction: Feyenoord 2–1 Sparta Praha

Feyenoord comes in on seven points. If the Eredivisie teams wants to advance to the next stage, it must defeat Sparta Praha. Dropping any points, worst case scenario a loss could see Sparta Praha leapfrog Feyenoord in the standings.

Juventus vs. Manchester City

Prediction: Juventus 1–1 Manchester City

Manchester City continues to confound those around the world as Pep Guardiola tries to reinvent his side amid a crisis. Juventus takes advantage of the opportunity to earn a needed point in the final weeks of the league phase.

VfB Stuttgart vs. Young Boys

Prediction: VfB Stuttgart 2–1 Young Boys

Same situation as Feyenoord for the Bundesliga side. This is a must-win game if Stuttgart wants any hope of qualifying for the next round. Playing at home against one of the two teams with zero points through five games. A win would move Stuttgart to seven points.

Arsenal vs. Monaco

Prediction: Arsenal 3–1 Monaco

Mikel Arteta's team might be struggling domestically, but last time out in Europe it put five past Sporting CP. The Gunners keep it rolling with a win to move up to 13 points.
