Arsenal vs. Real Madrid, 3 p.m. ET
Prediction: Real Madrid 2, Arsenal 1
Despite injuries on both sides, Real Madrid`s experience is expected to be decisive in this clash of European giants. Real Madrid`s fast wing play with Vinicius Jr. and the presence of Kylian Mbappe in the center could overwhelm Arsenal`s defense, which will be missing key players. Real Madrid previously secured a victory against Manchester City, and they are predicted to win again in England on Tuesday.
Bayern vs. Inter Milan, 3 p.m. ET
Prediction: Bayern 1, Inter 1
Inter Milan`s defense has been impressive in the Champions League, conceding only a few goals in their matches. They have kept clean sheets against strong teams. However, they face a tough Bayern attack led by Harry Kane, a prolific scorer in the Champions League. Inter is likely to focus on defense and counter-attacks against a Bayern defense that has conceded goals recently. A tight match is anticipated, potentially ending in a draw.
