The Estadio Ramon Sanches Pizjuan is the stage for this UCL double-header as Porto and Chelsea go head-to-head. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.

Chelsea hold a clear advantage with regards to the head-to-head record as the Blues have won five of the eight encounters between both sides. They have played out a stalemate only once with Porto grabbing the remaining two for themselves. Can the Blues better their record over the Dragons?

Feisty encounter on the cards

Porto find themselves in quite a race for the Portuguese title given that they’re eight points behind the league leaders Sporting. However, it is to be fair that they’re keeping the leaders on their toes with an impressive run of three straight victories. Can that same momentum propel them to victory in Europe this week?

The Blues lost their first game under new boss Tuchel last weekend. What’s more, they lost to the side with the worst goal difference in England’s four divisions in a disappointing 5-2 defeat. With that, they have surrendered the top spot as they currently sit in 5th place.

Porto vs Chelsea Prediction: 1-2

The Dragons did very well to beat Juventus out of this year’s UEFA Champions League with brilliant performances in both legs. However, the Blues have recently found their feet under Tuchel and even though they lost last time out, we still expect them to be tough to beat.
