Chelsea vs Porto Prediction & Match Preview

Aron Wright - April 12, 2021

Chelsea vs Porto
Europe – UEFA Champions League
Date: Tuesday, 13 April 2021
Kick-off at 19:00 UK/ 20:00 CET
Venue: Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán.

Without much ado the Blues have one leg into the Semis of the CL. Ever since Thomas Tuchel was handed over the reins, the English club has been experiencing some major shift in their fortunes.

They delivered a compelling victory in the first leg, and that too on the road. Now all that remains is they finish the formality in the return leg.

Moreover, it also strengthens their case that they are pitted against a team from outside the top-five leagues in Europe.

In addition, they are on a good spell as of now, and are scoring at an impressive rate as well as are defending admirably.

Meanwhile, the Dragons are struggling to show consistency. They have found it hard to defend well properly, and on top of that, they also have a worrying h2h record against this foe over the years.

By the looks of things, expect Chelsea to emerge victorious once again, and secure a spot in the final four this Tuesday.

Chelsea vs Porto: Head-to-head (h2h)

• The reverse encounter had ended in a 0-2 win for Tuchel’s men on the road.
• They had won five of the former six meetings.
• They had kept clean sheets in four of the past five clashes.
• Note that they also have a 100% unbeaten record in UCL knockout games against this foe.

Chelsea vs Porto Prediction

The Blues recorded a 0-2 win on the road in the first leg, and thus they already lead in aggregate, and that too with two away goals.

This puts the Portuguese contingent at a disadvantage. To have any shot at qualifying, they have to score at least twice in the stipulated ninety minutes, and that too against the sturdy defense of the Blues.

Moreover, Tuchel has been a master tactician all through his career. He will set his players so as to exploit this glaring weakness of the Dragons.

Do also consider the fact that Sergio Conceicao’s men have kept a total of just four clean sheets in their former fourteen fixtures, and importantly, they have a poor h2h record against this rival.

By the looks of things, expect Chelsea to secure a win this Tuesday. And taking into account the desperation of Porto, anticipate goals in huge numbers right from the get-go as well at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán.
