Chelsea vs Barcelona betting preview

So yesterday's acca didn't go to plan. A truly dire result for 'boro and Swindon showing that my reservations about their gaffer maybe should have kept them out of the five-fold.

Tonight sees an absolutely huge game in the CL semi-final. At Stamford Bridge, Chelsea at 4/1 with some bookies looks cracking value considering Barca's relatively poor away record this term, especially when their record in England is surprisingly poor reading P16 W5 D5 L6. However I can't see Chelsea keeping a clean sheet considering the alarming gap between defence and midfield which Mikel enjoys proving to us week in week out that he cannot fill. Expect Xavi and co to expoit this. Chelsea are in good form though with RDM getting the reaction that AVB couldn't and having knocked 5 past Spurs with Drogba in imperious form that day I can see them nicking at least one.

Draw for me. 1-1 is 6s or 7s mostly. Drogba as high as 10s to score first. 40/1 on Terry to open the scoring looks long for a man who will do anything inside the box to get the ball in the back of the net. Tough one to call tonight though so would be cautious.
