Chelsea vs Porto Odds

Odds as of April 12

At DraftKings, the oddsmakers rate Chelsea as favorites for a second win at -132 with Porto at +340. The draw is +295.

Further, Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea side head into the tie on the back of their biggest win since he took charge in January.

They recorded a 4-1 thumping of Crystal Palace away from home in the English Premier League last Saturday.

Meanwhile, Porto were 2-0 away winners against Tondela last Saturday – maintaining their second place in Portugal’s Primeira Liga behind leaders Sporting Lisbon.

Goals from Mason Mount and Ben Chilwell secured Chelsea’s first-leg win despite a determined effort by a hard-working Porto side which pressed them tightly and made space hard to find.

Porto Must Attack

Porto will subsequently have to be more adventurous in the second leg which will surely hand more openings to their opponents.

Certainly, that makes the spread offer of +220 for Chelsea to again win by two goals or more a compelling one (Asian Handicap -1.5).

The first leg win marked a welcome return to form for Chelsea after the shock 5-2 home defeat by struggling West Bromwich Albion in the EPL on the previous weekend.

Striker Mehdi Tarebi and midfielder Sergio Oliviera will be back  for Porto after serving one-match bans.

After that, the hammering of Crystal Palace will surely send Chelsea into the second clash with Porto in an even more positive mood.

However, Porto will be boosted by the return of two key players who missed the first leg through suspension.

Iranian striker Mehdi Tarebi and midfielder Sergio Oliviera will be back after serving one-match UCL bans.

Tarebi scored in his side’s surprise 2-1 last 16 first-leg defeat of Italian champions Juventus.

Oliveira then scored twice in the second leg as Porto lost 3-2 but advanced to the next round on the away goals rule.

Moreover, Oliviera is the team’s leading scorer with 17 goals in all competitions – five of them in the UCL – while Tarebi has 15 strikes to his credit.

Meanwhile, Chelsea is in fifth place in the EPL and has lost only once in 16 games since Tuchel replaced former coach Frank Lampard.

Tuchel Improves Defense

German coach Tuchel is credited with tightening up their defense.

But they clearly found some goalscoring form last weekend with Amerian Christian Pulisic scoring twice in the defeat of Crystal Palace.

The other goals were supplied by German midfielder Kai Haverrtz and Frech defender Kurt Zouma.

Olivier Giroud, the veteran French striker, is Chelsea’s leading UCL scorer with six goals.

Overall, the leading goal-getter is Tammy Abraham with a tally of 12 although he did not appear against Porto or Crystal Palace and has not been out of action before that with an ankle injury.

Timo Werner, Chelsea’s £57 million German striker, was also an unused substitute at Crystal Palace.

He was replaced after 65 minutes in the first leg against Porto and has struggled to make an impact since his move from Red Bull Leipzig.

In the last 16, Chelsea overcame current Spanish league leaders Atletico Madrid.

Chelsea has already won twice in the host stadium in Seville this season.

Firstly, they won 1-0 in first leg winners in Bucharest, Romania. After that, Chelsea won 2-0 in the return leg in London.

Porto was second in their group behind Manchester City.

Their only defeat was a 3-1 setback in the opening game at City – subsequently winning four times and drawing once.

To sum up, Chelsea should again have too much for tournament outsiders Porto and another comfortable win looks in store.

Pick: Chelsea – Asian Handicap -1.5 (+220)
