Part 1 of match day six of the UEFA Champions League kicked off today as the final round of fixtures for Groups A-D were played. On Wednesday, December 10th, Groups E-H will play their final rounds, and we will see 8 more teams qualify for the next round. Predictions of groups E-H are next brought to you by the AOSN:
Group E:
Match day 5 fixtures: Man City 3-2 Bayern Munich
CSKA Moskva 1-1 AS Roma
Man City (5 pts.) vs. 
AS Roma (5 pts.)
8:45 PM CET (11:45 AM PST) @ Stadio Olimpico, Rome, Italy
Manchester City continues to struggle in the Champions’ League, with only one win, two draws, and two losses, for a total of only five points in five matches so far. They will need to win against AS Roma to advance to the round of 16, because a tie will not save them in the hope that CSKA losses. AS Roma will also have to step it up but with the way they have been playing, we cannot expect much from them either. This game will end in a tie with AS Roma advancing.
Final Score: AS Roma 2-2 Man. City
CSKA Moskva (5 pts.) vs. 
FC Bayern (12 pts.)
8:45 PM CET (11:45 AM PST) @ Allianz Arena, Munich, Germany
The last time these two teams faced each other, it was Bayern Munich who emerged with the 1-0 win. Expect FC Bayern to do the same thing on Wednesday but with a bigger margin of victory. With 4 wins and the one loss, Bayern hopes to make it 5 wins and although they have already qualified, others are depending on them to win to advance. It should be an easy win for Bayern.
Final Score: FC Bayern 3-0 CSKA Moskva
Group F:
Match day 5 fixtures: PSG 3-1 Ajax
APOEL 0-4 FC Barcelona
APOEL (1 pt.) vs. 
Ajax (2pts.)
8:45 PM CET (11:45 AM PST) @ Amsterdam Arena, Amsterdam, Netherlands
Neither of these teams will qualify, as they had a tough group stage. Having to deal with both PSG and FC Barcelona, they combined for 1 win and 7 losses. The first time these two teams faced each other, the game ended in a draw, and the same should be expected here. If Ajax wins, they will go on to the Europa League round of 32.
Final Score: APOEL 0-0 Ajax
FC Barcelona (12pts.) vs. 
PSG (13pts.)
8:45 PM CET (11:45AM PST) @ Camp Nou, Barcelona, Spain
Both of these teams have already qualified to the next round of the Champions League but will be fighting for first place. The last time these teams faced off in September, PSG ended up with the surprising 3-2 win over the Catalans. Barcelona has been improving lately, and they will come to this game with the hopes of beating PSG this time. Barcelona will take this game and first place in the group.
Final Score: FC Barcelona 3-2 PSG
Group G:
Match day 5 fixtures: Sporting 3-1 Maribor
Schalke 0-5 Chelsea FC
Chelsea (11pts.) vs.
Sporting (7pts.)
8:45 PM CET (11:45 AM PST) @ Stamford Bridge, London, England
Chelsea has advanced to the next round after beating Schalke 5-0 back in November. They have been strong and only tied two games while winning their other three matches. Sporting has to win against Chelsea in order for them to advance, because if they do not and Schalke wins, there will be slim hopes for them in the Champions League. Chelsea’s form may not leave Sporting with much hope, unless Schalke loses or ties against Maribor.
Final Score: Chelsea 4-0 Sporting
Schalke (5pts.) vs. 
NK Maribor (3pts.)
8:45 PM CET (11:45AM PST) @ Stadion Ljudski vrt, Maribor, Slovenia
Schalke has been a bit disappointing in the Champions League, with only one win (against Sporting), two draws, and two losses. They will need to win this match against Maribor and hope that Sporting doesn’t win to be able to advance to the next round. This should be an easy win for Schalke.
Final Score: Schalke 2-1 NK Maribor
Group H:
Match day 5 fixtures: Shakhtar 0-1 Athletic
BATE 0-3 Porto
Porto (13pts.) vs. 
Shakhtar Donetsk (8pts.)
8:45 PM CET (11:45AM PST) @ Estadio do Dragão, Porto, Portugal
Porto has been great throughout the Champions League, winning four games out of the last five while drawing with Shakhtar, whom they will be facing this Wednesday. Both teams have already advanced to the next round and do not have to worry about winning or losing. This game will end up in another tie.
Final Score: Porto 1-1 Shakhtar Donetsk
BATE (3pts.) vs.
Athletic Bilbao (4pts.)
8:45PM CET (11:45 AM PST) @ San Mames, Bilbao, Spain
There is not much to say about these two teams. Both have won only one game; BATE beating Shakhtar 7-0 back in mid October and Athletic Bilbao beating Shakhtar as well. Neither team will advance to the next round and Athletic will move on to the Europa League with a win over BATE.
Final Score: Athletic Bilbao 2-1 BATE
