Slovan vs. AC Milan
At Stadion Tehelne Pole on Tuesday night, Italian powerhouse AC Milan will take on struggling Slovan Bratislava in an attempt to win a match in the Champions League for the third time in a row. The new league round is halfway through, and although Milan defeated the defending champions Real Madrid last time out, their hosts have not yet earned a point.
Sparta Prague vs. Atletico Madrid
Due to their problems in the Champions League this season, Sparta Prague and Atletico Madrid will be under pressure to get a good result when they play each other for the first time in their respective histories on Tuesday night. Having only gained six points from their four Champions League games, Atletico is now in 23rd place overall, while Sparta is in 26th place.
Barcelona vs. Brest
The Champions League's most anticipated matchup between Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich is scheduled for Tuesday night at Allianz Arena, and both teams will be hoping for a win. With six points from their four European games this season, Bayern is now in 17th place in the Champions League standings, while PSG is in 25th place after Luis Enrique's team has only collected four points from their first four games.
Inter Milan vs. RB Leipzig
Inter Milan and RB Leipzig will meet at San Siro on Tuesday night after having somewhat contrasting openings to their Champions League campaigns. While their German competitors have not yet earned a point in the league portion of the current season, Inter is undefeated and comfortably positioned inside the top eight.
Man City vs. Feyenoord
Meek Manchester City, in full-blown crisis mode following their fifth consecutive loss in all competitions, will try to get back to winning ways against Feyenoord at home in Tuesday's Champions League phase fixture. In Saturday's Premier League upset, Pep Guardiola's team was thrashed 4-0 by Tottenham Hotspur, while their Dutch opponents nearly lost to Heerenveen in the Eredivisie.
Sporting vs. Arsenal
Arsenal will play Portuguese powerhouse Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League on Tuesday night after hinting at a winter comeback with a heart-boosting Premier League victory. Over the weekend, the Gunners defeated Nottingham Forest three times without a response, while their hosts began the post-Ruben Amorim era with a resounding 6-0 Taca de Portugal thrashing of Amarante.
Young Boys vs. Atalanta
Atalanta BC has transformed from underdogs to serious Serie A contenders, and they now aim to improve their Champions League standing when they play BSC Young Boys on Tuesday. While their Swiss colleagues have not yet earned a point and are currently ranked third from the bottom of the 36-team league, Gian Piero Gasperini's club is undefeated in Europe this season.
