PSG v Chelsea Betting Tips for the Champions League Last 16

Football betting tips for when Chelsea travel to PSG on Tuesday in the first-leg of their Champions League last 16 knockout tie.

The sides met in the quarter-finals of the competition last season in which Chelsea progressed on away goals following a 3-3 aggregate scoreline.

 

PSG v Chelsea Preview

David Luiz is set to face his former side having completed a £50m transfer to PSG last summer. There are doubts over the fitness of Marquinhos, Lucas Moura, Yohan Cabaye and Serge Aurier however.

Chelsea on the other hand have a strong squad available, with John Obi Mikel the only absentee for Jose Mourinho’s side.

PSG finished second in their Champions League group despite only losing once away at Barcelona. The French side are remarkably unbeaten in their last 32 European home matches – a run which stretches back to November 2006 when Hapoel Tel-Aviv won at the Parc des Princes. Laurent Blanc’s side are also unbeaten in 18 home games this season and find themselves third in Ligue 1 despite only being one point behind leaders Lyon.

The Parisians beat Chelsea 3-1 at home last season, but given recent injuries and the form the Blues are in this season, a repeat of that scoreline is unlikely. The return of Diego Costa from his three match domestic ban adds firepower to Chelsea’s attack which is why we’re betting on a draw and both teams to score as our first betting tip; best priced at 15/4 with Betfair.

 

Edinson Cavani has netted five times in the competition this season for PSG and we’re also backing the Uruguayan to score against the Blues.

Cavani to open the scoring is 13/2 with Paddy Power and is our second betting tip for PSG v Chelsea in tonight’s Champions League.

 

Chelsea are an organised side but Mourinho particularly ensures his side keep their shape against the top teams. To avoid being punished on the counter-attack, the Blues often deliberately break the play and rack up the yellow cards against tough opposition.

For that reason, under 10 corners and over six cards is our final football betting tip at 7/1 with William Hill.

 

"Get losing correct score, halt-time/full-time and scorecast bets on any match that ends 0-0 with Bet365's bore draw money back offer."

Jose Mourinho’s side almost threw away the tie last year with defeat in Paris. They will be more cautious this time round.
