Gary Harris Jersey The Reds have been vulnerable at the back with injuries to first-choice centre-backs while their new defensive signings have yet to adapt.

They have not been able to replicate a similar streak in the Champions League. They are on a stunning nine-match winning Jamal Murray Jersey run, but it wont be easy against Dortmund despite the Germans side poor league form. We are fancying a stalemate with both You sef En-Nesyri and Erling Haaland finding the back of the net.Sevilla 1-1 Boru sia DortmundPorto vs Juventus 18th February:Porto will go into the Juventus as the underdogs and will be hoping to spring up a surprise. The Bianconeri have had a tough league campaign and recently dropped points for the ninth time in 21 matches.

The Serie A holders should come on top in midweek.Porto 0-2 JuventusAtletico Madrid vs Chelsea 23rd February: The teams have met previously on seven occasions and they have won two games apiece.

Bayern no longer have a rubber-tight defence, but their attack has often made the difference.Lazio 1-3 Bayern MunichAtalanta vs Real Madrid 24th February:Atalanta were last seasons surprise packages as they went all the way to the quarter-final stage. Their attack is definitely their main strength, but they also concede goals quite often. Real Madrid are without their talismanic captain and defender in Sergio Ramos and it could be a Carmelo Anthony Jersey high-scoring contest with both sides sharing the spoils.Atalanta 2-2 Real MadridBoru sia Monchengladbach vs Manchester City 24th February:Manchester City are the in-form side in Europe at the moment with a stunning 16-match winning streak where they have kept 11 clean sheets.
