UEFA Champions League: Galatasaray, Benfica, Dortmund, and PSG Ready for First-Leg Showdowns

Posted : 17 February 2026

Galatasaray will host Juventus in Istanbul for the first leg of their playoff tie, aiming to leverage home advantage. Juventus, on the other hand, will focus on a solid defensive setup to limit opportunities and secure a favorable result on the road.

History suggests a closely contested game with limited clear chances, making a narrow win or draw for Galatasaray the most likely outcome, while both teams are expected to score. Betting advice points to a double chance on Galatasaray or draw combined with both teams to score.

In Lisbon, Benfica take on Real Madrid, rekindling memories of their previous group-stage encounter where Benfica claimed a surprise victory. The Portuguese side will feel confident playing at home, yet Real Madrid, in strong form under Álvaro Arbeloa and with key attackers available, are favorites to win. A high-scoring match with both teams finding the net is expected, with betting tips favoring a Real Madrid win alongside both teams scoring.

Borussia Dortmund host Atalanta in what promises to be an open and attacking fixture. Both clubs have displayed strong domestic form, and Atalanta’s attacking mindset is likely to produce goals at both ends. Dortmund will dominate possession but remain vulnerable defensively. Predictions suggest both teams will score with over 2.5 goals expected, making BTTS and over 2.5 goals a smart betting choice.

Monaco welcome Paris Saint-Germain for a French derby with European stakes. Monaco’s home resilience could challenge PSG, though the visitors boast greater attacking depth. PSG will likely rely on fast transitions and key forwards to secure the win. Betting tips favor a narrow PSG victory or PSG scoring more goals.

Real Madrid and PSG are tipped as likely winners of their respective matches today, while multiple fixtures present value in both teams to score markets. All matches are first-leg knockout ties in the UEFA Champions League playoffs, kicking off on February 17, 2026.
