Not the best of games in the CL today - it often happens that these early knockout stages are unattractive, at least on paper.

Chelsea should win easily today, whereas I believe Villarreal can really make things complicated for Juve. I will probably watch that one, I hope to see Vlahović in action.
Chelsea and Juventus are the two favorites today to win the Champions League last round of16. I think these two teams will qualify for the next round even though it will likely be a tough match over the two legs.

Lille and Villareal are not the seeded teams that have so far made it through to the round of 16. So far Villareal are playing well in Laliga and some time ago they also managed to draw with Real Madrid 0-0, I think they can score but not win the match vs Juventus. But things are different for Lille because so far their performance in Ligue 1 has been very unstable. Lille have been unsatisfactory so far as they have won just 9 of their current 25 match in Ligue 1 and I'm sure Chelsea will beat them from today's first leg.

My prediction:
Chelsea vs Lille 4-1
Villareal vs Juventus 1-3
