Chelsea vs. Liverpool

Never till now two English teams met in Champions League final . This is  a surprise but in the same time a recognition of good play and spectacular proposed by English teams .

            First game ended 1-1 after Liverpool was clearly better team and should have won that game . Chelsea got lucky and after own goal equalized tottaly undeserved . Now in second game , strange , Chelsea has first chance for progressing . It won’t be an easy game and both teams know that .

            Liverpool will be forced to score and wil try more to attack but Chelsea’s defense proved many times that can be reliable . Especially at home , Chelsea is not spectacular . If they score one goal they immediately switch to defense to maintain lead , no matter if they play against poor teams. Chelsea doesn’t want to entertain , they want results . A good result for Chelsea tonight would be 0-0 draw . Is hard to believe that Chelsea will attack if they won’t be forced to do so . Meanwhile will be a hard game with few goals scored , Liverpool being good enough on defense too .

            There are many times when these teams met and score was very close . 0-0 and maybe 1-1 result are possible scores . I will go medium stake on this game because both teams will start game with a strategy in their mind but might change it during play .

 We already saw last night that only a mistake caused the only game in the match and brought Man U win over Barcelona anything else was in vain , both teams being equal . This game is very very like the one from last night , except Chelsea will be qualified with 0-0 . :) Why to attack ?

My pick :

Chelsea – Liverpool 0-0 correct score @7.5 10bet
