KEY STAT: Both teams have scored in 11 of Dortmund’s last 12 matches
EXPERT VERDICT: Borussia Dortmund have already beaten Sporting Lisbon in the Portuguese capital and are favourites to get the better of Benfica. The German giants topped their group with a number of high-scoring displays but this last-16 match is likely to be tighter. Benfica can’t afford to travel to Germany needing a win, however, so the game could still be played at a frenetic pace.
RECOMMENDATION: Both teams to score

KEY STAT: PSG are unbeaten in 11 games in all competitions
EXPERT VERDICT: Paris St-Germain held Arsenal in both of their group stage matches and a similar result looks a possibility when the Parisians host Barcelona. PSG have taken some time to adjust under Unai Emery but they are going great guns in Ligue 1. Barca won 6-0 at the weekend but haven’t been at their best on several outings this season and can be taken on.
RECOMMENDATION: Draw

KEY STAT: Arsenal scored 18 goals in their six group stage matches
EXPERT VERDICT: Bayern Munich are not quite the force of a few years ago but the Bavarians are still expected to outclass Arsenal. Arsene Wenger has some excellent attacking options at his disposal, particularly Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil, so the Gunners can make their presence felt, but Bayern should prove too strong.
RECOMMENDATION: Bayern to win 2-1

KEY STAT: Napoli are unbeaten in 18 matches
EXPERT VERDICT: Real Madrid are struggling with injuries and the reigning champions are no certainties to see off a Napoli side who possess plenty of threat in attack. Cristiano Ronaldo is a doubt after picking up an injury against Osasuna on Saturday while Gareth Bale will definitely miss out. Napoli are dangerous and look overpriced to claim a valuable first-leg lead.
RECOMMENDATION: Napoli

KEY STAT: Gent have won just two of their last eight matches
EXPERT VERDICT: Mauricio Pochettino hasn’t always taken the Europa League seriously but the Tottenham boss is likely to field a strong line-up against Gent. With Spurs in FA Cup action on Sunday, the focus is likely to be on establishing a comfortable first-leg lead in Belgium and the Lilywhites should oblige.
RECOMMENDATION: Tottenham

KEY STAT: Man Utd are unbeaten at home since September 10
EXPERT VERDICT: Jose Mourinho will be eyeing the Europa League as a route into next season’s Champions League and his Manchester United team should see off St-Etienne at Old Trafford. The Red Devils made heavy weather of progressing from the group stage but have been playing better since. Their dangerous attack looks capable of striking early.
RECOMMENDATION: Man Utd-Man Utd double result
