FC Porto vs Chelsea - Football - Champions League - Tip Preview

Both of these clubs have already produced the goods necessary to qualify for the next round & so FC Porto & Chelsea now clash with only group winner status at stake.

The importance of winning a group depends on how the other groups have gone so it is hard to assess whether either FC Porto or Chelsea will take this game too seriously & that makes it incredibly hard to predict how the game may go.

FC Porto are very strong at home & they will certainly want to show their fans they can compete with the best so we expect them to be motivated against Chelsea but clearly the face a massive task against a Chelsea side who have more quality & experience at this level.

We do expect FC Porto to be committed, determined & certainly be positive but whether they have got enough to break down a very solid, well organised Chelsea team is debatable & they may well settle for any positive result.

Chelsea have been fantastic in this competition this season & in our view they look the strongest overall contenders so far & having already secured qualification, Chelsea may well use this match to give their squad players experience in this competition.

We still expect Chelsea to adopt a very professional approach but equally their motivation to win this game is not as high as it might needed to have been & that is bound to affect how Chelsea approach this game.

There is loads of quality on show in this fixture & we are expecting a good, competitive game of football but we get the sense both Porto & Chelsea would settle for a draw & that looks a value betting option worth taking.
