Borussia Dortmund Betting Preview
Dortmund finished in second place in Group G having picked up nine points. On Saturday, Dortmund faced off against Werder, and they were able to secure a 2-0 victory. Jamie-Bynoe Gittens scored in the 67th minute and Julian Brandt scored in the 85th minute. They had 57 percent of the possession and nine shots on target. Youssoufa Moukoko has suffered an ankle injury and now he’s going to be out for a while, something that is going to be a big loss for the team. Marius Wolf, Abdoulaye Kamara, and Mateu Morey are all dealing with injuries also and won’t able to go in this game.
Chelsea Betting Preview
On the other side of this matchup is Chelsea who finished in 1st place in Group E picking up 13 points. On Saturday Chelsea faced off against West Ham United and that game ended in a 1-1 draw. Joao Felix scored in the 16th minute but the defense gave up a goal in the 28th minute. Chelsea had 72 percent of the possession and four shots on target. One issue for Chelsea is they are dealing with a ton of injuries heading into this game. N’Golo Kante, Christian Pulisic, Armando Broja, and Edouard Mendy are all dealing with long term injuries and won’t be able to go in this game. Wesley Fofana, Mateo Kovacic, and Denis Zakaria are also doubtful for this game. Make sure to check out the other Champions League game on Wednesday between Club Brugge and Benfica.
Shane’s Free Pick
Chelsea is a solid team, but they are dealing with a ton of injuries heading into this game, and that is going to really hurt them. Chelsea scored only one goal in the last game and they are going struggle to score even a goal here. Dortmund will find the back of the net a few times and secure the victory.
