| Domestically, both multi-billion-euro clubs, Chelsea and Barcelon are embroiled in the title race. In the Champions League however, their start to the league campaign could have been significantly better. With two wins, one draw and one loss each both teams currently occupy eleventh and 12th place in the Champions League table. So, the winner could potentially move into the top eight, while the loser would inevitably have to go even further down the table. Both teams are playing attractive attacking football, though their play hasn't always been solid. Chelsea have already conceded six goals in four Champions League matches, while Barcelona have let in seven. Since we should expect an open and exciting game at Stamford Bridge a high-scoring match is the most sensible prediction for this match. |
