Statistics play a big part in the decision making process carried out by our expert team of previewers. There's no point just putting some money on the favourite because they are the ones expected to win. You need to look at the statistics to judge whether a team is in form or not. If a team has won its last three games, they might be in good form. However, look at who they have been playing to get those wins. If for example, Liverpool have been getting victories against struggling sides, that doesn't mean they can beat one of the top contenders. If they have been beating top sides, then they are a side to be backed..

The Champions League had reached the halfway point of the last sixteen when the current health crisis caused its suspension. Four teams - Atalanta, PSG, RB Leipzig and Atletico Madrid had clinched their places in the quarter finals. Atletico Madrid had caused the biggest shock by knocking out trophy holders Liverpool. There are four last sixteen ties that have only had their first legs played. UEFA have confirmed that these games will take place on August 7 as the competition resumes.
The draw for the remaining rounds of the Champions League has been made. The final eight teams will travel to Portugal in August to take part in a tournament to crown the European club champions. The quarter and semi-finals won't be two leg ties as is the usual format. Matches will be played on the home grounds of Benfica and Sporting Lisbon, with the the final being held at Benfica's ground on August 23.
Quarter Finals
August 12 - Atalanta v PSG
August 13 - RB Leipzig v Atletico Madrid
August 14 - Barcelona or Napoli v Bayern Munich or Chelsea
August 15 - Manchester City or Real Madrid v Juventus or Lyon
Atalanta are in the Champions League for the first time and made a slow start to the group stages. They take on PSG who recently won the French Cup and beat Borussia Dortmund in the last sixteen. The only other tie we definitely have confirmed at present is RB Leipzig against Atletico Madrid. Bayern Munich should progress against Chelsea and we could see them taking on Barcelona in the quarter finals, though Italian Cup winners Napoli will disagree. Manchester City have a 2-1 lead over Real Madrid and home advantage in the second leg. If they can get to the last eight, they may have to face Italian champions Juventus. They have a 1-0 deficit from their first leg against Lyon to peg back.
Semi Finals
August 18 - RB Leipzig or Atletico Madrid v Atalanta or PSG
August 19 - Napoli/Barcelona or Chelsea/Bayern Munich v Manchester City/Real Madrid or Juventus/Lyon
Final
August 23 in Lisbon
