Chelsea vs PSG Prediction & Tips
Needing a clear victory to advance, Chelsea is going through a rough patch, with just one win in their last six matches played over 90 minutes (2 draws, 3 losses), after losing 1-0 at home to Newcastle over the weekend. That loss has dented their hopes of finishing in the top four of the Premier League, but they must quickly put the disappointment behind them to try to become only the second team in UCL history to overturn a three-goal deficit against the defending champions in a two-legged tie. According to Opta, their chances of advancing are just 7%, which doesn’t sound promising at all, and three consecutive losses in the UCL knockout stage don’t help either.
PSG has total control of this tie, and after having the weekend off in Ligue 1, they should be fresh for this matchup. The Parisians had a good weekend off, as their main title rivals, Lens, stumbled, and things seem to be going better and better, with the team on the verge of eliminating an English side for the fourth consecutive time in the UCL knockout stage. Four wins in their last five official away matches (D1) suggest they can pull this off in style, and the defending champions have typically excelled in this stage under Luis Enrique.
