Tips
This encounter
is a close one to call with both teams UEFA Champions League form very high at
the moment as they both knocked out strong opponents in their previous
encounter.
Although if we
can go on overall form at the moment, Chelsea looks good to get the victory on
paper as they looked much better than Porto but their recent defeat shows a lot
of leaks in the London side.
Last time both
sides played against each other in the UEFA Champions League it ended with a
victory each for them at their home ground with the Blues scoring one away from
home while they kept clean sheet at home.
