Bayer Leverkusen saw out a goalless stalemate in their last Champions League outing, which ensured they progressed to the next round.

The German side secured a 2-0 win in the first leg, but this time they will play the first leg at home. Leverkusen have also been dealt a much more difficult draw, as they will face Premier League table-toppers Arsenal. The Gunners finished top of the charts in the league phase, with a flawless record of eight wins from eight. 

Leverkusen will know the importance of taking a positive result to the Emirates in the second leg, and Alex Grimaldo will be a player to watch for the hosts. The Spaniard is given plenty of attacking license on the left wing, and he scored against Man City at the Etihad Stadium back in round five of the Champions League.

Achraf Hakimi has had an injury-hit campaign so far, but the Moroccan international seems to have returned to full fitness, and he has seen plenty of attacking involvement in recent weeks.

Hakimi has landed this selection in each of his last five matches across all competitions, and even got on the scoresheet against Monaco in the Champions League. He has hit this mark in six of seven European starts this campaign, failing only against Bayern Munich. However, the 27-year-old had to be replaced at half-time in that clash after suffering an injury. 

Hakimi has landed this selection against Barcelona already this season, and he also recorded two attempts when PSG hosted Newcastle in the league phase. Despite being listed as a fullback, Hakimi seizes every available opportunity to get into the final third and doesn’t hesitate to pull the trigger. Most of his shots this season have come from outside the box, and he is also the free-kick taker for the Parisians. 

This is the shortest leg of the acca, but it does increase the combined odds from 11.83 to 14.79, so I'm happy to add it into the multi.

The Champions League fairytale continues for Bodo/Glimt, as they secured a 5-2 aggregate win over Inter Milan in the playoff round.

Jens Petter Hauge once again played a pivotal role, and he was on the scoresheet in both legs against the Italian giants. That means he has now scored six goals in the Champions League this season, ranking sixth in the competition's scoring charts. 

Bodo/Glimt were written off by matchday six in the Champions League, but they have since beaten Man City, Atletico Madrid, and Inter Milan (twice). The Norwegian side have proven they can compete against the elites, especially at the Aspmyra Stadium.

Hauge has landed this selection in all four of his European starts on home turf, and he will once again have to be on top form if Bodo are to stand a chance of progressing. 

Once again, Real Madrid and Man City will face off in the Champions League, and their last meeting was in round six of the league phase.

Man City came away with a 2-1 victory at the Bernabeu, and they were the dominant side. Los Blancos were without their talisman, Kylian Mbappe, and he looks set to miss out again midweek, as he continues to be hampered by injury. 

That means Vinicius Jr looks set to lead the line, and he will have a massive responsibility in the final third. He registered four shots when he last faced Man City and was unfortunate not to score, given that he had two big chances.

The Brazilian international also landed this selection in both knockout fixtures against Man City last season, with three shots at the Etihad, and three shots at the Bernabeu. 

Coventry City remain at the top of the Championship standings, and their home form has been a key reason for that. They have only lost one league match this season at the Coventry Building Society Arena, and have won 13 out of 17 overall. 

The Sky Blues are the top scorers in the division by quite some distance, and they play with a lot more attacking-intent in front of a home crowd. Coventry are averaging 17.6 shots per game at home this campaign, and have racked up more shots than any other team in the Championship. 

Matt Grimes has landed this selection in eight of his last nine home starts, and he should once again be able to find promising positions against Preston here. The vast majority of his efforts have come from outside the box this season, while Grimes should also be the designated free-kick taker for his side.
