Chelsea – PSG

PSG will be riding a slim 2-1 advantage when they take on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, in the reverse leg of this Champions League round of Last 16 tie.

Chelsea was not too impressive in Paris, parking the buss and escaping with a pretty good result, which they probably did not deserve. However, the Blues will be confident coming into this game, as they are a totally different team lately under Hiddink. The loss in Paris was the only defeat Chelsea suffered in the last 17 matches! Since the game against PSG, Chelsea has 3 wins and 1 draw. They are coming after a 1-1 home result against Stoke, but their focus was definitely on this reverse leg against the French team.

PSG is having a season to remember. They won most of their matches in 2015/2016 and lost just twice – 0-1 at Bernabeu against Real and 1-2 in Lyon against Olympique a few weeks ago, but with PSG lacking any real motivation. The visitors have an advantage of 23 points at the top of the Ligue 1 table and could afford to rest plenty of players over the weekend, in a 0-0 home draw with Montpellier.

Team news & lineups:

Zouma, Terry and Falcao will not be in Chelsea’s lineup, while Pedro and Kenedy are doubtful. PSG won`t be able to count on Aurier, while Matuidi and Veratty are questionable.

Chelsea: Courtois – Azpilicueta, Ivanovic, Cahill, Rahman – Mikel, Fabregas – Willian, Oscar, Hazard – Costa

PSG: Trapp – van der Wiel, Luiz, Silva, Maxwell – Pastore, Motta, Matuidi – Di Maria, Ibrahimovic, Cavani

PSG was clearly the better team in the first leg and has been imperial all season, but even so they will not have it easy against an improved Chelsea team – a team that is very efficient and proved to be extremely hard to defeat in the last few months.

As long as the game stays 0-0, both teams are in with a very good chance to qualify. It`s a result that will suit everybody in the first part of the match, so I expect a tight first half, with no risks taken. I would not be shocked if Chelsea manages to qualify, but I would not bet on it. I can see the result staying unchanged after the first 45 minutes, but for more security I will tip a draw at half time (instead of 0-0). Prediction: Chelsea – PSG 1-0 (0-0 half time).
