FC PORTO VS CHELSEA PREDICTION
Both these sides shone for different reasons in the Champions League round of 16. FC Porto stunned Juventus, after knocking out the Italian champions after extra time despite being reduced to ten men. Chelsea meanwhile, secured a second successive win to nil over Atletico Madrid, although the Premier League side come into this match off the back of their 15-game unbeaten run in all competitions having being ended this past Saturday by lowly West Brom. Despite their shock 2-5 defeat at the weekend in a match which saw them reduced to ten men in the first half, the Blues have been in outstanding form under head coach Thomas Tuchel and will be confident of capitalising on facing a Porto side without midfielder Sergio Oliveira, who scored twice in their second leg clash against Juventus and striker Mehdi Taremi, who was sent off in the same match for a second bookable offense. The absence of Oliveira in particular is a crucial one from a Porto perspective and Chelsea will look to dictate the play in this game as they did so effectively against Atletico. Ultimately the quality and strength in depth of Chelsea may see them edge this one and they are to be favoured here draw no bet.
