Chelsea - Atletico Madrid match review


Champions League is back on the stage – this is the last game-week in the group stage. Very interesting game should be in Stamford Bridge stadium – Chelsea will fight with Atletico Madrid.


Chelsea are already in the hat for the round of 16. As the table stands it does not make for good reading for the Spaniards, they must win here and rely on Qarabag, who have not yet won in the competition to stop Roma in their tracks in order to qualify from the group. An early exit to the Europa League looks the most likely outcome for Simeone’s men.


Atletico played a really good football in the last matches – they won four games in a row. They had beaten Roma, Levante, Elche and Real Sociedad. The most important thing is that Rojiblancos finally found the way to score more than one goal – ten goals in the last four games. It‘s really nice result.


Chelsea also are in good shape – they have four victories in the last five games. By the way, Chelsea also is good in the front – Blues scored at least one goal in each last five matches and total 13.


Both teams are in good shape and there’s a good chance that both of them will score at least one goal today. Bet365 give a 1.80 odds for that. So, it’s really good opportunity to win some money.


As I said, that will be very important game for Atletico. They have a little chance to reach the round of 16 but they still have chances and they will fight for it. Chelsea already has a ticket to the next round, so they don't feel any pressure.


I have a feeling that Atletico won’t lose this match not because of situation but because they have reached a really good form – maybe the best in this season.


Bet365 give a 1.83 odds on Atletico +0,5 Asian Handicap. It means that Atletico can’t lose the match against Chelsea but they can win against them and also match could finish on draw result.


Each of Chelsea's last seven games in the CL has produced over 2.5 goals in total, as have five of the last six meetings between the pair in all competitions. Each team has scored exactly ten goals against each other across the last six occasions.


So, there’s a chances that at the Stamford Bridge we’ll see more than two goals. Both teams are in really good shape, especially in front, so I bet that Chelsea and Atletico will score together at least three goals today. (2.00 odds | TonyBet).
