Porto

Porto were not in the most difficult group of the Champions League, in which they were the clear favorites in the person of Manchester City, as well as Olympiacos and Marseille. The “dragons” did not manage to create competition for Manchester City in the fight for the first line, but at the same time they dealt quite confidently with the rest of the rivals, having outstripped the third Olympiacos by 10 points.

In the playoffs, Porto got into rivals against Juventus and in this confrontation the “old lady” was considered the clear favorite. However, already in the first match, the Portuguese champion cast doubt on this status, having won at home. The away match turned out to be especially difficult, but the “dragons” made their way to the next round, losing 2:3 in overtime, but two away goals allowed them to go further.

In the Portuguese championship, Porto does not have much success. Sergio Conceizau's charges are currently on the second line in the table, but the leader Sporting is losing as many as eight points, which reduces their chances of success in the fight for the title to a minimum. The "dragons" have two significant losses for today's match. They will not play due to the disqualification of Mehdi Taremi, while the captain and main character of the Turin match, Sergio Oliveira, will also miss the meeting.

Chelsea

Chelsea are not having their best season, but this concerns the Champions League to a lesser extent. In the group "pensioners" ended up with "Sevilla", "Renn" and "Krasnodar", where they were considered the clear favorite and eventually justified their status in full. Chelsea advanced to the playoffs in first place with 14 points out of 18 possible.

The first rival of Chelsea was Atletico Madrid, which the London club was supposed to oppose under the leadership of Thomas Tuchel, who famously started at the helm of the team. Despite such a high status of the opponent, the “pensioners” beat them both at home and away with a total score of 3:0, not allowing the “mattress” to create even one full-fledged dangerous moment at their gates.

In the Premier League, Chelsea are aiming to finish in the top four and advance to the Champions League, but so far the club is in fifth place. The “retirees” of West Ham skipped ahead in the last round, losing sensationally at home 2:5 to West Brom.

In this fight Christian Pulisic was injured, but at the press conference after the defeat from the blackbirds Tuchel was optimistic in this regard, so at least the American should appear in the game. By the way, this is the only possible personnel loss for Chelsea before this meeting. More today football predictions from the experts can be obtained from the link provided.
