Chelsea vs. Lille OSC 2/22/22 UEFA Champions League Soccer Pick, Predictions, and Odds

Chelsea is hosting Lille OSC at Stamford Bridge in the Round of 16 in the UEFA Champions League. Chelsea is now on a winning streak, they are playing well, but their strikers are not in great form right now. Lille is undefeated in their last 2 games, but they couldn’t beat Metz at home this past weekend.

Chelsea has won their last 5 games in a row, while they are undefeated in their last 6 games. Chelsea also hasn’t been scoring a lot of goals as of late, and they barely scored 1 goal against Crystal Palace this past weekend in the EPL. As far as the Champions League goes, Chelsea ended in 2^nd place in their group, but they were the best team overall. Timo Werner is the leading goalscorer for Chelsea in the Champions League with 3 goals, while Hudson-Odoi has added 2 assists. After this game, Chelsea is playing against Liverpool in the EFL Cup, and their next few games after that are on the easier side. Chelsea is a great team, they have a lot of talent, and even though they have some fantastic strikers, they are not in form.

Lille is not doing well in Ligue 1 this season, but they have surprisingly won their group in the Champions League. Lille hasn’t scored a lot of goals in the group stage, no one in their group did, but they were the best defensively, and that got them the top spot. In Ligue 1, Lille is in 11^th place, which is far away from the Europa League and the Champions League, and this season has been one big disappointment for this team. Jonathan David is the leading goalscorer for Lille in the Champions League with 3 goals, while Yilmaz has added 2 goals. Lille hasn’t changed much as a team since last season, but something is just not working out for them this season, and it will be hard for them to get a positive result in this game.

Chelsea and Lille have each played 2 games against each other in the past, and Chelsea has won both of them. It’s clear that Chelsea is the better team here, a more talented team, and in much better form. I think Chelsea will get a win here.
