Chelsea vs PSG Preview – Team News, Lineups And Prediction

Share

Chelsea will look forward to winning this home tie and march into the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League. They are currently on a great run. Most recently they won their first trophy, Capitol One Cup, under manager Jose Mourinho. They are also the front runners in winning the Premier League title too. Chelsea’s advantage is that, being in a very comfortable position in the domestic league, they can put complete effort on the Champions League. Given, their squad strength and quality of players in their rank, they are a force to reckon in the prestigious European competition.

Paris Saint-Germain, on the other hand, is battling it hard in the French Ligue 1. They are currently placed second in the league table, just a point behind leaders Lyon. Under such tough circumstances, it will be an uphill task for manager Laurent Blanc to set his priorities. The match will be a tough encounter against a spirited Chelsea side who has a clear edge in this match.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Chelsea Team News:

Paris Saint Germain is likely to field an unchanged side from their previous encounter against Chelsea few weeks back at Paris. Lucas Moura, Yohan Cabaye, and Serge Aurier are still not fit enough to make it to the first team. All eyes will be on the attackers, who have the potential to make a difference in this crucial away fixture.

Chelsea will be missing John Obi Mikel’s services. The only change they might make from their previous match against Paris Saint-Germain is, Oscar may make it to the first XI instead of Ramires. Jose Mourinho is expected to go all gun blazing in this home match, as a result Oscar should feature in the starting lineup.

Paris Saint-Germain:

Champions League Form: DWWWWLD

Predicted Line Up: Salvator Sirigu; Gregory van der Wiel, Thiago Silva, David Luiz, Maxwell; Marquinhos, Blaise Matuidi, Marco Verratti; Ezequel Lavezzi, Edinson Cavani, Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Predicted Line Up: Thibaut Courtois; Branislav Ivanovic, Gary Cahill, John Terry, Cesar Azpilicueta; Nemanja Matic, Cesc Fabregas; Willian, Oscar, Eden Hazard; Diego Costa

PSG vs Chelsea Prediction:

Chelsea is always dangerous at Stamford Bridge. They have a clear edge in this match because of two reasons, their home tie and they have the cushion of an away goal. Predicted score line of the game, Chelsea 1-0 Paris Saint-Germain.
