The hype coming into this fixture centres on Didier Drogba facing his old side and whilst the Ivorian isn’t the force of old, he can still put in a shift when he needs too. Saying that I think he will have his work cut out against a Chelsea side who have kept eight clean sheets in their last 11 matches and will look to be more solid than spectacular in tonight’s match and will hope to escape with an away goal. There’s also the intriguing sub plot of Mourinho versus Mancini with the former doing what the latter couldn’t do and that was succeeding in the Champions League with Inter.  There’s already been a few verbal volleys been lobbed and expect a few more post match.

Chelsea have more experience of the knock out stages than their Turkish opponents and can use this to good stead on Wednesday night. The odds of evens for the away win doesn’t appeal but the 3/1 for Chelsea win and Under 2.5 goals with Ladbrokes does for our first football tip on the match.

Selçuk Ä°nan is a Turkish international midfielder who you’ve probably never heard of but you will do this Wednesday when the referee takes his name into his notebook.  He’s prone to making his way into the ref’s little black book and should be backed to do so again at 7/2 with Sky Bet for our second Galatasaray vs Chelsea betting tip.

For our final tip we are looking to the goalscorer markets and Chelsea’s player of the season so far, Edin Hazard. He is having a fantastic season and his pace will be needed to break Galatasaray down who are likely to sit in and try and hit Chelsea on the counter attack. Hazard is 17/2 with Bet Victor to score first but instead we are taking on William Hill’s price boost of Hazard to score and Chelsea to win at 4/1.
