Our Champions League Predictions

By: Rob | April 7th, 2009

Who will come out on top?So today the Quarter-Finals are upon us. And the teams involved aren’t the only ones gunning for glory, here at the Champions League Offside to make things a little more interesting, we thought, what the hell we’ll throw our hats into the ring and predict the scores for the games over the next couple of days.

Will Barca hold off the threat of Bayern? Can Arsenal make the semi-finals? Can Liverpool and Chelsea play a halfway entertaining match?

Predictions follow after the jump, for a preview of the weeks games, have a look here. Other than that feel free to laugh at us in the comments, or tell us we’re crazy, and give us your own predictions.

Man United vs Porto
Rob: Man United 1 – 0 Porto
Stephen: Man United 2 – 0 Porto
Sam: Man United 2 – 0 Porto

So, all of us expecting a Man United win tonight, and for Porto to not score that elusive away goal. Stephen and Sam clearly anticipating an easier ride for the defending champions than I am.

Villarreal vs Arsenal
Rob: Villarreal 1 – 1 Arsenal
Stephen: Villarreal 1 – 1 Arsenal
Sam: Villarreal 2 – 2 Arsenal

All three of us going for the same result here again – the draw – but Sam expecting a wide open game tonight. I hope he’s right, but I can’t see it getting that explosive. Yet.

Liverpool vs Chelsea

Rob: Liverpool 0 – 1 Chelsea
Stephen: Liverpool 2 – 1 Chelsea
Sam: Liverpool 2 – 1 Chelsea

Now, that’s interesting. Sam and Stephen have gone for the same winner by the same score, and I’ve gone completely the other direction. I’m basing my choice purely on the fact that Chelsea have looked pretty comfortable going forward of late, and sometimes Liverpool struggle for goals. Mind you they pull it out in the big games, just ask Man United.

Barca Vs Bayern

Rob: Barca 2 – 1 Bayern
Stephen: Barca 3 – 1 Bayern
Sam: Barca 3 – 2 Bayern

So we’ve all gone for Barca to win, we’ve all gone for goals, and we’ve all gone for Bayern to get something out of the game to take back to Germany for the return leg.

    Hrrrrmmmm -
    No one’s going for a rash of nil-nil draws. Global warming is baking our brains. Where’s the sanity, people?

    Nice coverage, Rob. As all our readers know [there are apparently only three, from somewhere in New Jersey and perhaps Cork], great minds think alike.

    Ha, not particularly Rob.

    After getting harpooned by Wolfsburg I can’t imagine their too confident. I know Jurgen’s threatened them with sackings, but they seem like a lazy bunch so Barca all the way tonight!

    Yes, we did. I think we also fell into the trap of thinking that United are back on track.
