COACH: Juande Ramos
KEY PLAYER: Arjen Robben
STORY SO FAR: Second in Group H
LAST-16 OPPONENT: Liverpool
PREDICTION: Too predictable in attack and open at the back, relying heavily on Robben and goalkeeper Iker Casillas. Domestic form has been impressive of late, however.
COACH: Rafael Benitez
KEY PLAYER: Steven Gerrard
STORY SO FAR: First in Group D
LAST-16 OPPONENT: Real Madrid
PREDICTION: Must be regarded as favourites to beat Madrid and cannot be discounted for overall honours.
