FC Porto vs Chelsea Prediction and Betting Tips (Wednesday 7th April)

After eliminating Juventus against predictions in the round of 16, Sergio Conceiçao's Porto has all the credentials to play the double confrontation in the quarter-finals against Chelsea of ​​German Thomas Tuchel. It will start at Do Dragao where the Lusitanians also won 2-0 in the last league game played last Saturday against Santa Clara. Sergio Oliveira and Taremi are suspended, Mbaye and Marcano are injured while Sarr is unable to take the field as per the contractual loan agreement. Chelsea come to this game after a resounding home setback in the league: 2-5 at home to West Bromwich Albion. Kanté and Pulisic are injured while Abraham, although in doubt, could do it.

And Chelsea will try to put themselves in the best possible conditions from the first leg, where FC Porto receives! The Blues have lost only one of their last 16 meetings in all competitions. They notably beat Atlético de Madrid twice in the previous round. Thomas Tuchel's men therefore arrive with great ambitions for this poster. Admittedly, FC Porto remain on four consecutive successes in Liga NOS. However, the Portuguese club are only second in their national championship. Having just released a very disappointing Juventus in the knockout stages of the C1, the situation looks completely different against Chelsea. And the London club will try to demonstrate it from the first leg!

The last eight Chelsea matches at this level have yielded an incredible 50 goals in total, with both teams on target in every single one of these contests, so the Chelsea have certainly delivered plenty of excitement. Given that nine of the previous 13 top-flight games involving FC Porto have followed the same pattern, more of the same is expected.
