UEFA Champions League Predictions: Matchday 26/11

On November 27, 2024By Littum

The UEFA Champions League returns after the last international break in 2024 with a bang. Bayern Munich v PSG, a rematch of the 2019-20 final, headlines Tuesday’s fixture list plus AC Milan, Manchester City, Arsenal, Barcelona and more in action. SI Soccer provides our predictions for the entire board.

Prediction: Slovan Bratislava 1–3 AC Milan

Christian Pulisic and AC Milan get another win in the Champions League after dismantling Real Madrid last time out. The USMNT superstar is in the form of his life as he looks to end 2024 on a high note.

Prediction: Sparta Praha 0–2 Atletico Madrid

Diego Simeone’s side come in with just six points from the first four games. Atleti need a win here to start climbing towards the top eight.

Prediction: Manchester City 3–0 Feyenoord

The wheels may be coming off in the Premier League for Pep Guardiola’s side, but expect the run of five straight defeats to end on Tuesday. Man City bounce back with an impressive win over a Feyenoord side that has conceded 10 goals in four games.

Prediction: Barcelona 3–1 Brest

Robert Lewandowski is one goal away from 100 career Champions League goals. Not only is the Polish legend getting on the scoresheet, but Barcelona are dominating to start cementing their place as a top eight team in the league stage.

Prediction: Bayern Munich 2-1 PSG

Today’s headline feature. Both teams come in with a completely different look since their last meeting four years ago. Vincent Kompany and Luis Enrique now lead from the sidelines, gone are the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Neymar Jr., yet both sides lead their domestic leagues as they have in years past. Harry Kane leads the Bavarian side to a narrow victory at home as PSG finish another week outside the 24 qualifying places.

Prediction: Inter Milan 2–0 RB Leipzig

Inter come in after a convincing defensive masterclass against Arsenal. The reigning Serie A champion should not be underestimated in the competition. Inter gets the win at home and moves up to 13 points

Prediction: Young Boys 0–2 Atalanta

Young Boys are one of six teams without a win in the Champions League through four match weeks. Atalanta, on the other hand, is knocking on the door for a top eight place. Gian Piero Gasperini’s team wins away by two goals.

Prediction: Leverkusen 2–1 RB Salzburg

The reigning Bundesliga champion has not been as dominant in the domestic market as it was last season. Xabi Alonso’s side were decimated at Anfield last time out, but an opportunity to bounce back here will help Leverkusen get back on track with a goal of finishing in the top eight.

Prediction: Sporting 0–2 Arsenal

Arsenal suffered their first UCL defeat last time out against the reigning Serie A champions. However, Mikel Arteta’s side looked reborn against Nottingham Forest last weekend. Ruben Amorim has left, leaving on a high note as Europe defeated Manchester City last time out. Viktor Gyokeres remains one of the most talented and dangerous strikers in the world at the moment, but Arsenal will get a big win away from home.
