Napoli vs. Shakhtar Donetsk

Tuesday, November 21 – 8:45pm local time – Stadio San Paolo, Naples

Napoli – -227.27
Draw – +400
Shakhtar – +550

This is a must-win for Napoli, whose pair of defeats to Man City leave them languishing third in the group on three points. Table-topping form in Serie A suggests they should have the quality to see off a capable Shakhtar side that is missing suspended skipper Darijo Srna.

Atletico Madrid vs. Roma

Wednesday, November 22 – 8:45pm local time – Estadio Metropolitano, Madrid

Atletico – -105.26
Draw – +230
Roma – +325

Atleti are finding it hard to secure decisive results, having drawn five of their last six games in all competitions. That run includes both fixtures against group minnows Qarabag. Roma are in excellent touch and need only a point to go through, so a stalemate could be the go.

Basel vs. Manchester United

Wednesday, November 22 – 8:45pm local time – St Jakob-Park, Basel

Basel – +300
Draw – +240
Man United – +100

With two wins and a draw from five European encounters, Basel boast a surprisingly good head-to-head record against Man United. The knockout rounds beckon if the Swiss side can add to that tally. Paul Pogba made a dazzling return for the Red Devils at the weekend, however, so it is very much United’s game to lose.

Juventus vs. Barcelona

Wednesday, November 22 – 8:45pm local time – Juventus Stadium, Turin

Juventus – +200
Draw – +230
Barcelona – +145

Juve might be third in Serie A, but that division is in the midst of its most competitive title race in over a decade. Neither they nor Barca have lost a game in league play this season, and both are odds-on to reach the last 16. This is an absolute doozy to pick, but it is impossible to ignore the Blaugrana’s world-famous strikeforce.
