This will be another derby in this stage of the Champions League 2011-2012 season. Napoli already eliminated one English team from thie competition, Manchester City and now they have to eliminate another team from England, Chelsea. This time will be harder, in the group stage, you had 6 games to gather as many points as you can, here you have only two games, and the best will go further in the competition, the other team, will be eliminated.

Napoli is a strong team when playing at home. But Chelsea is a strong team as well. This will make this game a very close game with Chelsea trying to get at least one goal scored and Napoli trying to keep their sheet clean and if possible score. Still a 0-0 is way better for Napoli than 1-1.

This game will be played Tuesady 14 February 2012, 20:45 on Stadio San Paolo in Napoli, Italy.

The odds have not been very generous with Bayer Leverkusen this year. In the last 16 phaes, they will have to play a double leg against the current trophy holders, Barcelona.

Bayer Leverkusen will play the first leg at home, but that will not be a very big advantage when playing against Barcelona. Barcelona will come to win the game and make their job easier in the second leg. Despite having problems in the Primera, at 7 points behind Real Madrid and having fewer and fewer chances to keep the title in Spain, the Champions League trophy is a clear objective for them and they will do everything they can to keep it.

Bayer Leverkusen will try at least not to lose at home, but it will be very difficult to resist to Barcelona`s attacks. Barcelona is the clear favorite of this game, despite playing away from home.

This game will be played Tuesady 14 February 2012, 20:45 on BayArena Stadium in Leverkusen, Germany.

One of the most balanced double legs in the last 16 phase of the Champions League will be the duel between AC Milan and Arsenal. Both are top teams from the European club football and the competition will lose from the elimination of either of the two teams.

Both double legs will be very disputed. The first leg will be palyed in Italy and AC Milan will have to take a good advantage into the second leg. Arsenal scored 7 times in the last Premier League game against Blackburn and even AC Milan is not Blackburn, they proved they could score a lot of games when playing on the Emirates Stadium.

AC Milan will have to get at least a 2 goals advantage, and most important don`t allow Arsenal to score any goals. Any goal scored by Arsenal will make AC Milan`s job very difficult in the second leg.

This game will be played Tuesady 14 February 2012, 20:45 on San Siro Stadium in Milano, Italy.

Super Bowl XLVI will be an teh final game to decide the 2011 NFL Champion. The trophy will be disputed between the American Football Conference (AFC) champion New England Patriots and the National Football Conference (NFC) champion New York Giants. It will be the 42nd annual championship game of the modern-era NFL and it will be played Sunday, February 5, 2012, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. This will be the first Super Bowl to be played in Indianapolis, and the first time in the history of the game it will be played in consecutive years in a retractable roof stadium.

The two finalists played against eachother in the Super Bowl XLII final in 2008, and the New York Giants won 17-14 after being led 7-3 after the first three quarters. The Patriots surely want to revenge that defeat and they will do the best they can to make sure they will win the trophy this year. They are also the favorite team, and they had a 13-3 record in the regular season, unlike The Giant`s 9-7 record in the regular season.

Chelsea vs Man Utd Preview

This game will be played Sunday, 5 February on Stamford Bridge Stadium in London.

Looking by the placement in the league table and points difference between Chelsea and Manchester United, we could say that this game will be important only for the visitors. Chelsea is 13 points behind the leader, Manchester City and 10 points behind Manchester United and they are out from the battle for the title, at least for now. Manchester United will try to keep up with Manchester City if they want to remain in the battle for the title.

5 wins and one loss in the last 6 games played away from home make Manchester United the favorite in this game. They are more motivated, they fight for the title and they need every point they can get. Chelsea only plays for a place in the Champions League next season, they are at a safe 5 point distance in front of Arsenal. Despite the fact that Chelsea is out from the battle for the title, they surely want to win against another rival from the Premier League. Only 2 wins in the last 6 games played by Chelsea and that is surely too little for the fans. They expect a win against Manchester United and they will do everything they can to help Chelsea.

AC Milan v Arsenal - The double leg between these two teams will be the attraction of this phase of the competition. Both are top teams from Europe, and both of the games will be spectacular.

Milan is a very powerfull team when playing at home, and they will try to get a very a good advantage in the first leg.Checkyourodds prediction for AC Milan v Arsenal - 2:1 Check AC Milan v Arsenal Odds

Napoli v Chelsea Another very interesting encoutner will be the game between Napoli and Chelsea. Napoli already eliminated a team from England, Manchester City and now they will have to play against another top team from England, Chelsea. If the games against Manchester City were in the group stage, and a bad result would be repaired in the next games, here, there is no second chance. A bad result in the first games, diminishes the chances to get through to the next stage of the competition. Chelsea plays well away from home and they have the strength to score at least one goal in Italy, result that will make their job easier in the second leg at home.

Basel v Bayern Munich Basel is the surprise of this stage of the competition. They have sent Manchester United to Europa League and they qualified for the last 16 phase of Champions League.

They have played against each other last season in the group stage and Bayern Munich won both of the games. They are favorites to do the same this season as well.
