After a long pause, the most exciting tournament in the world is renewed. In the upcoming match in Paris there are old score to settle. Chelsea removed PSG in the last campaign after great tactical outwitting in two matches and dramatic turn after a goal by Demba Ba in the final minutes of the second match. Parisians are ready for revenge and what is in mind of the Portuguese genius Jose Mourinho? The answers to these questions will be seen soon in the first part of the battle between Paris Saint Germain and Chelsea in the French capital. The odds for the game offered by the leading bookmaker bet365 are as follows: 2.75 for a home win, with a draw at 3.20 and 2.88 for the victory of the guests.
Parisians waiting for this game with reduced self-esteem. The team of Laurent Blanc experienced terrible Saturday night, after finished with 2: 2 against weakling Caen. PSG led at his "Parc des Princes" till the 89th minute with 2:0, but let equalization. The four major players of Parisians left the game with injuries and the hosts were with 9 people till the end of the meeting. Marquinhos, Yohan Cabaye, Serge Aurier and Lucas Moura were forced to leave and all of them are with minimal chances to appear in the first match against Chelsea. The good news is that Laurent Blanc is that his team has 32 matches in tournaments at "Parc des Princes" and remains undefeated. Upcoming match will be more special for David Luiz. Brazilian protected the colours of Chelsea until the summer, when he switches to a multi-million transfer in Paris and now for the first time will play against his former team. Problems with injured players in the composition of Laurent Blanc will open up a chance for Edison Cavani, who recently has rarely minutes played.
Londoners arrive in Paris rested and in high spirits. Jose Mourinho`s boys did not play at the weekend since dropped out of the tournament for the FA Cup earlier in the season. In the championship, Chelsea leads convincingly with 7 points ahead of last year`s champion Manchester City. So, Jose Mourinho had the opportunity to prepare his team, as thoughts entirely for the match in Paris. Although last year Chelsea defeated PSG, now Mourinho is unlikely to want to repeat things from the first game when Chelsea lost with 3:1. For the upcoming game, Jose Mourinho will not be able to rely on the injured John Obi Mikel. Kurt Zouma will be on his place in central defence as partner of captain John Terry. Diego Costa returns to the starting line-up of Chelsea after serving a punishment of three meetings in English tournaments. New signing Juan Cuadrado already made his debut for Chelsea, but now will stay on the bench and will wait for a chance to shine in the second half.
Expectations are for a cautious game and tactical outwitting between Laurent Blanc and Jose Mourinho. Our forecast according ronaldobest is for fewer hits in the first eighth-final match between PSG and Chelsea.
Prediction PSG - Chelsea: Under 2.5 goals
Security: 8/10
Odds: 1.65 at bet365
