Best Tip: Chelsea to win

A Champions League home win for Enzo Maresca's Chelsea side win in the win / draw / win market is what we're predicting. Statistics suggest that their form is good coming into the match, and they should have too much for the opposition. The odds from the bookies are pointing in the same direction, and when that happens you've got a pretty compelling case. A Chelsea win is the way to go, but we wouldn't expect a whitewash.
