Dortmund (Aguero) 1 – 3 Bayern Munich (Ozil, Reus, Dybala)

Dortmund tactics:

Bayern tactics:

Good matchup. Both teams gone with a 4-2-3-1 formation and well set up.

Like the look of Bayern’s keeper and defence, up against a strong attack with Griezmann and Aguero but think their defence will serve them well. Think Dortmund may struggle with Zouma up against Costa, but obviously having Subotic will be a big help.

I reckon the big difference in this game will be the Bayern wingers up against the Dortmund full backs, Viva has tried to help with getting Bender back to help against Robben, but Reus is as big a threat and I fancy him to break free of Durm at RB.

Bringing Bender off for Immobile in search of a goal will likely only give the Bayern forwards more space, and I reckon they’ll get a late goal to make this look a better win than it is.

Juventus (Neymar x 2, Benzema) 3 -3 Barcelona (Ronaldo x 2, Tevez)

Juventus tactics:

Barca tactics:

Juve are set up with the intention of pushing back Barca’s wide players, the problem I see with that is neither Ronaldo or Di Maria are likely to give a flying fig about the man running past them, and will likely just stay upfield, and will do damage.

Usually you’d expect Pirlo to be able to dictate the game when there appears to be such a gap between the front two and midfield pair of Barca, but with Tevez and Rooney buzzing around his life might be a bit more difficult.

Luiz is a better DM than CB for me, but neither him or Pogba are naturals in that position, and I reckon Depay and Neymar will have plenty of success attacking the space between the defence and midfield, and with the wing backs pushed up this will result in goals.

Fancy a high scoring game, but can’t split them

Man City 0 – 3 Athletico (Ramsey X 2, Walcott)

Athletico tactics:

Walkover for Athletico.
Not sure the 4-3-3 set up suits Pjanic, I’d have him dictating the game from midfield, but irrelevant this week

PSG (Cavani) 1 – 3 Real Madrid (Suarez x 2, Messi)  

PSG tactics:

Real tactics:

This was the hardest game to call for me this week. With Messi/Suarez you’d expect Madrid to have the advantage, but PSG are set up well to counter them, especially with the pace and power of their defensive pairing.

Personally I’d have had Carrick as the sitting midfielder, with Matuidi playing box to box as I think his physicality would have had a big impact with neither Kroos/Herrera being defensive midfielders for me.

I’d expect Real to dominate the ball as a result, with Kroos/Herrera/ Messi/Mata being excellent at keeping the ball, and that pressure will tell, with Suarez and Lucas adding the cutting edge

PSG have a good attack, but not sure Cabaye is up to being the main creative presence, and this will limit their attacking chances. I’d still fancy them to nick a goal, but think Real are just too strong, and with Mascherano coming on to shore things up they’ll have enough to take this one

Good game driver. At least we opened up some space against the whipping boys of the league Porto.
