Chelsea v Porto Predictions

 

Following what seemed like a brief revival, Jose Mourinho's side hit new lows this weekend after a shock home defeat to Bournemouth. Without wanting to pay Eddie Howe's men a disservice, The Cherries came into the match with the joint worse defensive record in the league, and the mere fact Chelsea couldn't even muster a goal on their own patch, epitomised everything that has gone wrong for them so far this season.

 

With many poor runs of form there are often certain areas to pinpoint the problems, but such is the state of affairs with The Blues at present I really don't know where to start. Obviously Mourinho must shoulder some of the blame, but the form of some of his star players has been nothing short of shambolic. Eden Hazard looks a shadow of the player that cleaned up on the PFA awards last season, and the likes of Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas would be lucky to make the bench for my local pub team.

 

Chelsea now sit fourteen points away from the Champions League spots in the Premier League, and barring some miraculous change in fortune, can pretty much write off any hope of fighting for the title as well. Tonight’s match against Porto holds huge significance for the rest of their season. If Chelsea win or draw, then they will find themselves in the knockout stages. Should they lose, Jose Mourinho doesn't even want to comprehend the consequences.

Needless to say, I would rather challenge Conor McGreggor to a fist fight than back Chelsea at the moment for my Chelsea v Porto predictions. If The Blues turn up, then I would expect them to pick up a positive result, but such has been their unpredictable nature this campaign, I would merely be backing them on a hunch. Porto have won their last three domestic matches and would need to beat Chelsea in order to qualify by virtue of their inferior head to head record with Dynamo Kiev – The Ukrainians are home to the pointless Maccabi Tel Aviv in their final match.

 

Nevertheless, with a draw being enough to see Chelsea through to the next round, this is exactly how I feel the game will finish. With this in mind, back the game to end all square at 5/2 with Betfred and under 2.5 goals at 4/6 with Bet Victor.

 

My first Chelsea v Porto prediction for tonight is the match to end a draw and the best odds are 5/2 with Betfred.

Finally, for a bit of a punt in the goalscoring market and Chelsea midfielder Willian has certainly done his reputation no harm during this current Chelsea plight. The Brazilian international has come up with some crucial goals already this season, as well as gaining the reputation for being a bit of a dead-eye from set-pieces.

 

My last Chelsea v Porto betting tip for tonight is for Willian to score anytime, the best odds for this bet tip are 7/2 with Betfred.
