Tuesday is expected to be uneventful for both Bayern and Barcelona, with both teams expected to lead their matches with no trouble. A successful Round of 16 Leg 1 round for these teams assures them a good position when it comes to the wider Europe league matches, as well.
Besiktas had an impressive showing in the group stages, and the team currently sports a seven-match winning streak in the competition. Even with that, the talent gap between them and Germany's Bayern is expected to prove to be too much for the Turkish team.
