Final Betting Analysis: Dortmund at Chelsea
For sure, Chelsea can win. Also, the match happens at Stamford Bridge, which should motivate the Blues to get it done.
But the home team has a single positive performance in their last 5. In addition, the 1-0 match versus Leeds doesn’t inspire a ton of confidence. Yes, Chelsea beat Leeds.
Still, the victory opens up questions. Chelsea didn’t dominate and we shouldn’t kid ourselves. Leeds is not close to Dortmund’s level.
The German Bundesliga squad is kicking butt and taking names. Dortmund has rolled to 11 straight victories. On Tuesday, Dortmund makes it a dozen straight against a Chelsea team that is struggling this season.
