In Group F, Borussia Dortmund and Inter Milan meet again, with both teams on four points, defeat for either side would almost guarantee needing a result against Barcelona in the remaining fixtures, not a pretty scenario. A win for the Spaniards against Slavia Praha could virtually qualify them if there's a defeat in the other tie.
Benfica’s win against Lyon last time out leaves Group G wide open, with Leipsig on six points, Zenit four, Lyon four, and the aforementioned Portuguese side on three. Benfica have struggled in the Champions League Groups in recent years, but a win tonight could see them close in on qualification.
And in the remaining games of the night, there’s a long way to go in an ultra-competitive Group H, with any two of Chelsea, Ajax and Valencia in with a shot, Lille though, are almost out of the picture.

Despite sacking Nico Kovac at the weekend as their miserable run in the Bundesliga continues, Bayern Munich have three wins from three, and one more tonight, or even a draw against Olympiacos, will see them through if Tottenham beat Crvena Zvezda. A win would be huge for Spurs in taking the initiative in Group B.

And finally in a two-horse Group D, wins for Ateltico Madrid and Juventus will see both sides through, with Lokomotiv’s last chance coming at home to Juve, and Bayer Leverkusen virtually out of it on zero points.
