There is a little change in the schedule for Champions League viewers in Oregon due to the daylight savings change. Instead of 11:45 AM kickoffs, the matches will start live at 12:30 PM.

Here is the television schedule from ESPN.

Tuesday, March 10
ESPN, 12:30 PM, Liverpool v Real Madrid
ESPN Deportes, 10:00 PM, Chelsea v Juventus (delayed)

Wednesday, March 11
ESPN2, 12:30 PM, Manchester United v Inter Milan
ESPN Deportes, 12:30 PM, Barcelona v Lyon
ESPN2, 10:30 PM, Manchester United v Inter Milan (replay)

My Predictions:
Liverpool take advantage of the huge 1-0 win on Spain and advance after a 0-0 draw with Real Madrid on British soil.

Chelsea win 1-0 and advance on the back of Didier Drogba who is starting to heat up.

Barcelona by virtue of showing up. Yes, despite their recent in league stumbles.

The main event. Alex Ferguson and Manchester United have just one win in thirteen tries over Jose Mourinho. A tough one to pick based on history. I believe United will find the net, but so will Zlatan. Inter Milan to advance on a "special" away goal.

University Hero in Corvallis
I won't be able to catch Tuesdays game live. But there is no way I'm missing the Manchester United - Inter Milan showdown. I'll be at University Hero (5th street location) on Wednesday to watch the match live and I have prizes (given to us by our hosts, University Hero) to give out during the game for anyone that would like to join me. We had a dozen or so during the first leg so I'm hoping for a good turnout.

What are your Champions League match predictions? Do you think I am off my rocker?

I've got a feeling that the Premiership teams in the last 16 this week are going to regret the carousel that has seen managers like Mourinho, Ranieri and Ramos join continental rivals with a whole book of tricks to shut out English sides in matches.

What's the betting on Robben, Vieira or Riise turning one of these ties?

Cheers,

Charlie

Of the three I like Robben's chances. Riise is due for one of his "sudden bolt of lightning" goals he seems to come up with.
