Manchester United v Sevilla (1945 GMT, BT Sport 2)
Manchester United host Sevilla and they can go into the game full of confidence having won their last three matches.
Jose Mourinho's men were victorious over Liverpool at the weekend, an exceptional Marcus Rashford brace enough to secure the points in a 2-1 win.
With Paul Pogba a constant talking point around United at the moment, Sky Sports News reported on Monday that the midfielder did not train with the squad ahead of the clash and that could mean he's a doubt for the clash.
Sevilla come into this one as 5/1 outsiders, but have an advantage with the fact that Mourinho's men failed to score an away goal in their first leg meeting.
Getting onto the scoresheet would be a massive step in the right direction for the Spanish outfit in their quest to cause an upset and progress. They can fancy their chances of doing so, given the fact that they have scored in 12 of their last 15 games away from home.
Manchester United have scored in every home game of 2018 and should find the net again as they aim to reach the quarter-final stages of the Champions League once again.
For me, both teams to score looks good value at 21/20 given that Sevilla will be eager to secure a crucial away goal.
When it comes to goalscorers, Romelu Lukaku is the obvious one to look at for someone who can strike United through.
The Belgian international is Manchester United's top scorer this season with 23 goals in all competitions, four of those coming in their seven Champions League games.
He can be found as big as 4/1 to open the scoring on Tuesday night, decent value as he'll look to put the hosts on the front foot.
United should progress given their home advantage in the second leg, they will need to be wary of the danger of away goals though and how important they may be on the night.
Score prediction: Manchester United 2-1 Sevilla (Sky Bet odds: 8/1)
Roma v Shakhtar Donetsk (1945 GMT, BT Sport 3)
Italian side Roma host Ukranian outfit Shakhtar Donetsk in their Champions League last-16 clash looking to overturn a 2-1 deficit from the first leg.
Both of these sides have poor records at this stage of the competition historically. Roma have failed to reach the quarter-final stage in a decade and have lost their five attempts in doing so whilst Shakhtar made the last-eight in 2011.
Roma can take confidence in their home form in Europe so far. They got through the group stage picking up two wins and a draw in front of their home fans, failing to concede a goal. A concern though, will be the fact that they have won just two of their last seven at the Stadio Olimpico.
For Donetsk, they've won their last six in all competitions, including victory over Roma in that run, but know that a trip to Italy will be much tougher than some of the domestic battles that they have faced.
They'll also be coming up against Edin Dzeko, who Roma will be looking to as one of their main avenues for goals.
The former Manchester City man sits as Roma's top scorer this season with 16, three of those coming in the Champions League. Dzeko also got the assist on Cengiz Under's goal in the first leg.
He can be found at 7/5 to score anytime in the 90 minutes, and comes into this one well rested following his absence in Saturday's victory over Torino. In his last outing, he scored a brace in the 4-2 win over Napoli.
Another one to watch is Facundo Ferreyra, who leads Shakhtar's scoring with 27 in all competitions this season. The 26-year-old has found the net three times during the European campaign, one of which came in the first leg.
Ferreyra also has five goals in his last four in all competitions and comes into this one full of confidence.
He can be found as big as 13/5 to strike anytime on Tuesday, a real possibility if Donetsk are to find themselves on the scoresheet.
Score prediction: Roma 3-1 Shakhtar Donetsk (Sky Bet odds: 12/1)
Best bet: Edin Dzeko to score anytime at 7/5
Alternative bet: Edin Dzeko and Facundo Ferreyra both to score at 11/2
