Champions League Matchday 6 football tips and predictions – Copybet
The final round of Champions League matches of 2025 take place across Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, with Arsenal looking to take top spot going into the new year.
Mikel Arteta’s men remain the only side unbeaten in the tournament, as we head into Matchday 6 of Europe’s top club competition.
Atalanta vs Chelsea
Chelsea go into Tuesday’s clash against Atalanta in Bergamo level on 10 points, with the Blues three places ahead on goal difference.
It’s three wins and a draw for Atalanta in their last four games in Europe, where they have enjoyed more success than domestically - with Raffaele Palladino’s men currently sat 12th in Serie A.
The hosts have drawn no fewer than seven of their 14 league games, while Chelsea have drawn four times in the Premier League - including a 0-0 at Bournemouth at the weekend.
Atalanta have scored 11 goals in their last five matches and it wouldn’t be a surprise for them to breach a Chelsea backline that conceded twice in their last European away tie, at Qarabag.
Barcelona vs Eintracht Frankfurt
Barcelona find themselves in a tricky situation as they look to seal automatic qualification for the knockout stages, with Hansi Flick’s squad currently sat in 18th.
The Catalans are top of La Liga but have found things tough going in Europe, where they have won just two of their opening five matches.
Having won their opening match, a 5-1 success over Galatasaray, Eintracht Frankfurt have collected just one point from their last four Champions League games.
The Germans have conceded 14 goals in Europe and 29 in the Bundesliga - an average of 2.38 goals per game.
They now come up against a Barca team that scored five goals at Real Betis at the weekend and have racked up 47 in La Liga this term.
Real Madrid vs Manchester City
Real Madrid and Manchester City meet for the fourth consecutive year in Europe and it was Los Blancos who had the upper hand in the two-legged affair last season.
A 3-2 win at the Etihad was followed up by a 3-1 success at the Bernabeu back in February, with home advantage likely to play a key role this time around.
City have not won in any of their last four visits to the Spanish capital and considering their recent away form, that run may be extended on Wednesday.
Pep Guardiola’s men have lost two of their last three Premier League away games and now face a Real team who have won both their European home ties this season.
In Kylian Mbappe, they have the tournament’s leading scorer, with the Frenchman bagging nine goals in five games - which includes all four goals in the 4-3 win over Olympiakos.
The former PSG star scored a hat-trick in this fixture last season and it would be no surprise to see him among the goals again.
