CHELSEA VS FC PORTO PREDICTION
With a two-goal aggregate lead heading into this second leg, Chelsea are firmly in the driving seat as they look to seal a place in the Champions League semi-finals and consign FC Porto to elimination. The Blues are still yet to concede a goal in the knockout stages of the competition and head into this match high on confidence after returning to winning ways in the Premier League, beating Crystal Palace 1-3 this past Saturday. FC Porto will be boosted by the return of central midfielder Sergio Oliveira after he missed the first leg due to suspension and having registered 12 shots against Chelsea in Portugal, Sergio Conceicao’s side will believe that they are capable of turning this tie around if they show more cutting edge in front of goal. However, Chelsea are formidable at the back and only once so far have they conceded more than one goal in a single fixture under head coach Thomas Tuchel. When combined with their obvious attacking prowess and taking into account how they expertly dispatched Spanish giants Atletico in the round of 16 after heading into that one with an aggregate lead following the first leg, it’s very difficult not to see Chelsea recording yet another victory here.
