ManCity- Monaco
Real - Napoli
Dortmund - Benfica
Bayern - Arsenal
Porto - Juventus
Leverkusen - Atletico
Leicester- Sevilla
PSG- Barca
these seem pretty straightforward, other than Leicester - Sevilla. should give Sevilla the nod given their tournament winning ability in years past but that was Europa B)
although i do think this year the best opportunity for Gooners to finally get over the Buyern hump as their team is quite solid. still think they Typical Germans take it on away goals or something of that sort, it'll be close.
Leicester-Sevilla is indeed definitely the hardest one to predict. I think Sevilla has a better team and also benefits from playing the second leg away (they are very strong home so they should get a good result there, and they are good in counter attacks so they could make good use of the away goal rule in the second leg). They do have some issues though... some of Sampaoli's decisions have been very questionable (for instance nobody understands why he prefers Vietto over Ben Yedder upfront, when the latter one is a much better goalscorer) and they'll have more pressure, especially considering how they've fucked up in the previous occasions they made it to this stage.
