Prediction Power Play: Chelsea vs PSG’s Champions League Match Is Set For A Showstopping Clash!

Chelsea vs Paris Saint-Germain betting tips Chelsea to win & both teams to score - 21/20 Ladbrokes Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to score or assist - 20/21 Bet365 Chelsea face an uphill battle if they are to remain in this season’s Champions League as they seek to overturn a three-goal deficit in the second leg of their last 16 tie against Paris Saint-Germain this evening (8pm, TNT Sports 1), Liam Rosenior’s side were looking good to get a result in the French capital last week when level at 2-2 with the defending European champions, only to fall apart late on as PSG claimed a 5-2 victory. However, the Blues will take plenty of encouragement from certain aspects of their performance at the Parc des Princes, even if their confidence might have taken a hit with the loss to Newcastle at the weekend. In fact, betting sites have priced the hosts as favourites in the second leg at 21/20 to win, though they are priced at 9/1 to make it through to the quarter-finals.

But while PSG are offered at 2/1 to win at the Bridge, odds of 1/16 for the holders to make it through show just how difficult Chelsea ’s task will be this evening. Chelsea vs PSG preview: Blues may win the battle but not the war The first leg was an enthralling contest in the French capital, with both sides demonstrating plenty of attacking verve alongside the occasional defensive lapse. And while the 5-2 win puts PSG in an enviable position, that scoreline does not reflect the reality of the first leg, with Chelsea playing well and even dominating parts of the match, both when down and when drawing.

However, the same problems that have plagued the Blues at times this season were again apparent at the Parc des Princes, with a dramatic collapse seeing them concede three times in around 20 minutes to return to London shellshocked. While Rosenior’s side are capable of producing lovely attacking football, a mix of individual mistakes and lapses in concentration once again saw them lose a game, and a side as talented as PSG needed no invitation to strike when the moment presented itself. Nevertheless, Chelsea showed that they can compete with the holders on their own turf, and can justify their tag as favourites on football betting sites .

The performance from both sides in the first leg showed that it is likely both will score at Stamford Bridge, especially when you consider that PSG only have two clean sheets in their last five, while Chelsea have none. Add in the fact that PSG do not even need to win this match in order to go through, and we think Chelsea will win this time round. However, we think both teams will score in midweek, and the Blues won’t have enough to turn the tie around.
