Chelsea vs Barcelona Prediction & Betting Tips (25 November)

With 7 points after 4 days, Chelsea have as many points as Barça and are in 12th position. A victory this evening would allow the Blues to temporarily move to fifth. It's a shock but this year, Chelsea have been inferior in this type of meeting, as evidenced by their defeat against Bayern Munich on the first day 3-1, at Old Trafford against Manchester United in the Premier League 4-1 or even a loss at home against Sunderland in the PL 1-2. Furthermore, since this defeat against the Black Cats at the end of October, the Londoners have not lost, even stringing together three victories in four matches against Wolverhampton in the EFL Cup 3-4 and in the championship against Tottenham 0-1 and Wolverhampton 3-0. It remains to be seen whether this series will have ended last weekend on the pitch of the Burnley Clarets in the championship, results to follow. During the previous day of the Champions League, the local team was held in check by the surprising team of Qarabag 2-2.

 For its part, FC Barcelona returned to the Camp Nou last weekend against Athletic Bilbao in La Liga, result to follow. Before the international break, the Blaugrana reassured themselves away by achieving a nice success at Balaidos against Celta Vigo 2-4. Before that, Barça had gone three games without a win on the road, including two defeats against Sevilla 4-1, in the Clasico against Real Madrid 2-1 and a parity score with Club Brugge on the previous day in the Champions League 3-3 . To talk about the Champions League, the semi-finalist has already experienced a setback by losing against PSG at home 1-2 and already seems obliged to win today to stay in the race for the top 8 and an automatic qualification in the 1/8th final. 

Suspended for doping, Mudryk is unavailable while Sterling and Slonina are not registered to participate in the Champions League. Still suffering from a groin injury, Cole Palmer should remain in the stands alongside midfielder Essugo, defender Colwill and Habs Benoit Badiashile, all injured.

In the middle, the Ecuadorian international Moises Caicedo and the Argentinian international Enzo Fernandez will be available as will the Tricolores Wesley Fofana and Malo Gusto. Good news in Barcelona, ​​the starting goalkeeper Joan Garcia has returned to training and could resume his place in the bars. Another return to training, this time in the offensive sector with the Brazilian Raphinha, struggling at the start of the season due to a physical relapse.

Remember that Robert Lewandowski (7 goals in La Liga) and Lamine Yamal (2 goals, 2 assists in 3 C1 matches) are available. Author of a hat-trick against Olympiakos, Fermin Lopez is at the disposal of Hansi Flick just like Dani Olmo and Frenkie de Jong. In the middle, Pedri and Gavi will be missing. The aging Marc-André Ter Stegen remains in care while Casado was uncertain for Bilbao last weekend.
