Lille welcomes Chelsea in a rematch of the 1/8 finals of the Champions League. The first match between the two teams three weeks ago ended in a comfortable 2-0 victory in favor of the Londoners. Chelsea did a perfect job in both phases of the game and left almost no opportunity for Lille to threaten him. The Mastiffs made a good impression with their coolness in ball control and attempts to pressure the Chelsea players, but the difference in class and especially the experience in European tournaments was reflected.

Lille did not allow the defeat in London to break him and subsequently recorded several good matches in the French championship. The Mastiffs achieved two victories and a draw. Lyon was defeated as a guest with 1: 0, Clermont as a host with 4: 0, and the point was shared after 0: 0 with Saint-Etienne. The dry nets give some hope to French football fans that there may be a sensation on Wednesday, but for this purpose Lille will have to play a very strong match in front positions, and against Chelsea it will not be easy.

Since February 19, Chelsea have conceded just two goals in their last seven games in all competitions. This happened in the 3: 2 victory against Luton for the FA Cup, and certainly the Londoners will not be in the same lineup against Lille. Over the weekend, Chelsea did not give up chasing the three points against Newcastle until the last referee signal and achieved a late success with 1: 0 after a beautiful goal by Kai Havertz.

In the march to triumph in the Champions League last season, Chelsea made an impression with their greater thrift in the elimination phase. Since Thomas Tuchel has led the team, the Londoners have played very wisely in their important matches and have not taken unnecessary risks unless necessary. Given that Chelsea have a two-goal lead, it is unlikely to be a definite success. A minimal victory for the guests with 1: 0 or even a zero draw seems to me to be the most probable outcome of this match.
