Prediction: Inter just came off a 2-1 away loss to AS Roma, but can they bounce back from their stagnate performances in Serie A (Italy)? Mourinho is desperate to prove that his Inter experiment has been a successful adventure. CSKA has been the underdog of the Champions League, so they really have nothing to lose. They are 4th in the Russian table and the glory of European football has galvanized the side.
(2-1 Inter)

Prediction: Arsenal are coming off a draw a 1-1 draw in the EPL, which has them in 3rd place. Barcelona just beat a very good Mallorca team on the road in La Liga BBVA. The Catalan giants are missing one of the most inventive midfield maestros in the world, Andres Iniesta. Barcelona are heavy favorites, but with it being in North London and Cesc Fabregas making a gutsy move to not let his supporters down and play despite a thigh injury; anything can happen.
(2-1 to Barca)
