Proven model predicts two potential derbies in Champions League Round of 16 projected matchups

The Champions League 2024-25 Round of 16 field will be set after the second leg of the playoff round concludes with matches Tuesday and Wednesday. This round did not previously exist in the Champions League, which automatically went to the Round of 16 after the group stage. In the new format, the top eight teams from the group stage automatically advanced to the Round of 16, with teams 9-24 in the group stage participating in a two-leg playoff to see who joins the top eight teams. Tuesday's and Wednesday's matches can be streamed on Paramount+, which is free for the first week when you sign up here.

SportsLine's model has projected all Champions League matches, and we're using those projections to put together a potential bracket for the Round of 16. Five teams secured away wins in the first leg to put themselves in a strong position to advance, including last year's finalists Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund. Meanwhile, Seria A clubs AC Milan and Atalanta hope to find some home magic after dropping results on the road in the first leg.

Paramount+ is the place to watch the Champions League this season. A subscription also gives you access to other sports content including the UEFA Europa League, Serie A, EFL League One, NFL on CBS, Big Ten on CBS and countless movies and shows. You can now get a free 7-day trial, so sign up right here.
