Chelsea take on the visitors Borussia Dortmund in the second leg of UEFA Champions League 1/8-finals. The first leg results: 0-1. The match will be played on Tuesday, February 7th at Stamford Bridge (London).
Chelsea are vivid example of why there is no need to rush with big decisions. London has just gone this way and, against the backdrop of failures at the beginning of the season, got rid of Tuchel. It must be admitted that the replacement of Thomas, Potter, was able to provide improvements in both games and results. But by the end of winter, everyone understood that Graham was not a wizard. Moreover, the record-breaking acquisitions in January (such as Enzo Fernandes' incredible $121 million signing!) do not help to quickly and sharply turn the situation around. On the contrary, it seems that there is only more chaos, especially since many foreigners who have not played and lived in England, such as Mudryk. As a result, the Blues not only did not wake up - they lost even to "Southampton", which is at the bottom of the Premier League table! The same score, 0-1, was recorded in Germany in February. Finally, on Saturday, Chelsea won, beating Leeds at home due to a goal from the corner kick.

Borussia Dortmund did not have the best start of the season. But it was precisely the Champions League that became the escape route, where they secured a place in the playoffs (unlike the previous cycle!) - it was influenced by the fact that the Germans faced a modest "Copenhagen" and a crisis "Sevilla". However, now the Bumblebees ratings should be much higher. After all, winter became a period when stoppage time indicators were achieved, and in all tournaments. The Bumblebees continue to fight for the cup, in the Bundesliga, thanks to a series of victories, they were able not only to return to the top four but also tied in points with "Bayern", which, just at that time, too regularly made mistakes in January-February. And they managed to win the first leg against the English team at home. Yes, the opponents were certainly not worse, as evidenced by the crossbar after Joao Felix's shot. But what's the point if all the moments were botched there, while Adeyemi of the Germans darted away on the counterattack, which was crowned with a goal?
Incredibly, but last month the Blues played against the "black and yellow" for the first time! For now, the English are still considered the favorites but they look frankly disappointing, while the Germans, on the contrary, reached the maximum speed. So we bet that the visitors from Germany will win this meeting with a handicap of “+1.0 goals scored”.
Prediction for the match: Borussia Dortmund to win with +1.0 handicap.
