Prediction, Odds & Betting tips for Chelsea vs. Borussia Dortmund at UEFA Champions League

Where: Stamford Bridge, London, England
When: Tuesday, March 7, 9 pm CET

The Blues are in problems like a few times in the past two decades and look weak and shaky for the moment. Borussia plays top-class football yet has luck on its side, and many believe that the Millionaires are going to run out of fortune at some point in the season. Will it be at Stamford? It’s hard to say because Champions League football is unpredictable.

Chelsea vs. Borussia Dortmund Preview

Chelsea

The fact that before the weekend’s game against Leeds United, Chelsea managed to score just one goal in six events tells a lot about the shape of this unit. The Blues couldn’t win in six consecutive events, and had three defeats in a row prior to the Peacocks.

It might be due to the fact that Graham Potter has plenty of new faces on the roster, and all of them need to create chemistry. Also, the injuries have hurt the Blues quite a lot.

Their games are extremely inefficient, with the latest seven ending under 2.5 scores. It’s not Potter’s style of play, because he wants his team to play offensive football, just like in Brighton, yet the problems upfront have caused this trend.

Borussia Dortmund

The Millionaires know nothing but winning since the restart of the championship. They are in fantastic shape, posting nine triumphs in a row before the game against RB Leipzig, some with a certain dose of luck, some quite confidently.

This team often scores two or more goals, though, the problem before this event is Karim Adeyemi’s injury, with the pacey striker missing the clash in London. It will be a massive blow for Edin Terzic and his boys.

All but one of Borussia’s past five road games have seen a moderate efficiency, that is two or three goals, and they’ve scored at least twice in four.

Chelsea vs. Borussia Dortmund Predictions

These teams will be cautious, and Borussia won’t be eager to open up and attack. However, Chelsea’s domination from the first meeting forces us to bet on the hosts, who are in terrible form. Yes, their results are poor, but the Blues play much better than the scoreboard show.

Our verdict: Chelsea wins
