Chelsea vs PSG Prediction and Football Tips
Champions League football tips – Chelsea vs PSG prediction
Chelsea go in to this match without any major injury or suspension concerns. Nemanja Matic should be fit to play and the only other player who will be missing is John Obi Mikel, who would not have been consider as a first choice in midfield regardless of availability.
PSG have both Lucas Moura and Serge Aurier definitely out through injury and Yahann Cabaye is also doubtful but could take his place on the substitutes bench. Similar to Chelsea, these absentees should not disrupt the starting line-up of PSG, who have the majority of their top players fully fit for this hugely important match.
- Over the course of their previous 10 matches, Chelsea have scored an average of 1.2 goals and conceded an average of 0.9 goals per game.
- Over the course of their previous 10 matches, PSG have scored an average of 1.7 goals and conceded an average of 0.6 goals per game.
- There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 2 of Chelsea’s previous 10 matches
- There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 3 of PSG’s previous 10 matches.
- On their previous visit to Stamford Bridge, PSG conceded a second goal in the 87th minute, which knocked them out of the Champions League in 2014.
With the first leg ending 1-1 in Paris, this match is finely poised and Jose Mourinho will be guarding against conceding any goals. This could mean a starting place for Ramires in place of Oscar, who has been struggling for form of late. Chelsea know, that if they can keep a clean sheet, they will progress and this is something they have done once in their last 4 Champions League games.
Laurent Blanc’s team know they will have to score at least 1 goal, if they are to have any chance of progressing beyond this stage of the competition. PSG have managed at least 1 goal in each of their previous 7 Champions League matches and with a strike force consisting of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Edinson Cavani, will feel confident of keeping that run going at Stamford Bridge.
This is a huge game for both clubs and could develop in to a tight match. Mourinho will be happy to keep things tight but if the match remains at 0-0 going in to the last 20 minutes, PSG will be happy too.
