THE PREDICTION
Despite significant investment on new signings in January, Chelsea have yet to really hit their straps on the pitch under Graham Potter, who joined the club back in September. The Blues have drawn each of their previous three fixtures in all competitions and have won just one of their last eight. However, Potter has yet to taste defeat in the Champions League, guiding the Blues to 13 points from five matches in Group E after losing their opening game at Dinamo Zagreb, a result which saw former head coach Thomas Tuchel sacked.
That unbeaten record however, will come under serious threat here against an offensively strong Borussia Dortmund, who are no doubt smelling blood. The German giants have hit form at just the right time, winning all of their six fixtures played since the winter break, scoring at least twice on each occasion. Such attacking potency is expected to cause Chelsea huge problems and could lay the foundations for Dortmund to gain a priceless first-leg advantage here. With that in mind, utilise the draw no bet market to back a Borussia Dortmund victory here in Germany.
