Chelsea vs Barcelona Analysis and Prediction
By admin
- The UEFA champions league continues on Tuesday night and a clash of titans featuring Chelsea vs. Barcelona at Stamford Bridge in the first leg of this round-of-16 tie.
- After a small crisis at Chelsea that saw them lose back to back games in the premier league, Chelsea are back in winning ways having won their last two with seven goals scored in the process.
- Barcelona have only lost once this season and that was a cup tie against arch rivals Espanyol,
- The Spanish outfit head into this tie having kept clean sheets in four of their last five matches and are yet to lose on the road in the Champions League this season.
- However, the visitors have struggled against Chelsea and they are yet to defeat Chelsea in their last seven meetings with two wins and five draws in favour of Chelsea.
- The Blues have only lost two of 16 home matches against Spanish sides.
- Also Lionel Messi has never scored against Chelsea (eight matches), which is his worst record against an opponent.
- With Chelsea still struggling to find the right rythm and Barcelona enjoying their best form in years, they look like the slight favourite to win tonight.
