  • Newcastle beat Qarabag 6-1 in their first leg in Baku

  • Atletico Madrid and Club Brugge drew 3-3 in their opening tie

  • Holders Paris Saint-Germain have a 3-2 advantage over Monaco

The Champions League knockout round play-offs conclude on Tuesday and Wednesday, with eight ties set to be decided and the winners progressing to the round of 16.

Holders Paris Saint-Germain and record winners Real Madrid both hold one-goal advantages heading into home ties, while Newcastle should have no such worries after winning 6-1 last week in Azerbaijan.

Atletico Madrid vs Club Brugge (Tuesday, 5.45pm)

Atletico Madrid and Club Brugge drew 3-3 in Belgium and could produce more fireworks at the Metropolitano.

Brugge have been great fun to watch, also drawing 3-3 with Barcelona and beating Rangers 9-1 on aggregate.

Los Colchoneros' defensive record makes them vulnerable to a potential upset.

Score prediction: Atletico Madrid 2-3 Club Brugge

Bayer Leverkusen vs Olympiakos (Tuesday, 8pm)

After losing 2-0 in Piraeus on matchday seven, Bayer Leverkusen got revenge when winning by the same scoreline back at the Karaiskakis Stadium last Wednesday.

Leverkusen lost 1-0 at Union Berlin at the weekend, but have won their last four at home without conceding and are good enough to extend that run.

Score prediction: Bayer Leverkusen 2-0 Olympiakos

Inter Milan vs Bodo/Glimt (Tuesday, 8pm)

Bodo/Glimt made more history by beating Inter Milan 3-1 at home, adding to their 3-1 win over Manchester City and 2-1 success at Atletico Madrid.

With the Norwegian Eliteserien out of season, they have had almost a week to prepare for the return game in Italy, while Inter had to tackle Lecce, triumphing 2-0 in Apulia.

The Nerazzurri heavily rotated for that game and will be without Lautaro Martinez on Tuesday, due to a calf injury.

It could be an awkward night, with extra-time very possible.

Score prediction: Inter Milan 3-1 Bodo/Glimt

Newcastle United vs Qarabag (Tuesday, 8pm)

A 6-1 defeat at home flattered Qarabag last week and Newcastle should be similarly dominant at their own St James' Park, even if they make changes.

Score prediction: Newcastle 5-1 Qarabag

Atalanta vs Borussia Dortmund (Wednesday, 5.45pm)

A 2-0 first-leg win for Borussia Dortmund puts them in the ascendancy, but they are far from through.

Atalanta responded by beating Napoli 2-1 on Sunday, but could fall just short against Der BVB, who have scored in all but one of their away games this season.

Score prediction: Atalanta 2-1 Borussia Dortmund

Juventus vs Galatasaray (Wednesday, 8pm)

It felt like a coming-of-age performance as Galatasaray beat Juventus 5-2 last week and they are good enough to capitalise, even if they lose in Turin.

Juve can end their run of five without a win, but look unlikely to progress.

Score prediction: Juventus 2-1 Galatasaray

Paris Saint-Germain vs Monaco (Wednesday, 8pm)

An upset appeared on the cards when Monaco went 2-0 up against Paris Saint-Germain, but the holders hit back to win 3-2 at the Stade Louis II.

Both won at the weekend, PSG 3-0 at home to Metz and Monaco impressively 3-2 at Lens, but Les Rouge et Blanc have not won at the Parc des Princes in their last four visits.

Score prediction: Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 Monaco

Real Madrid vs Benfica (Wednesday, 8pm)

A 1-0 victory in Lisbon has set record 15-time winners Real Madrid up nicely and, while they lost 2-1 at Osasuna on Saturday, there is every chance Los Blancos will progress here.

Benfica lost without scoring at Chelsea, Newcastle and Juventus in the league phase and may struggle to have too big an impact at the Bernabeu.

Score prediction: Real Madrid 2-0 Benfica
