Tuesday's Champions League predictions including Chelsea vs. Borussia Dortmund

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's Champions League fixtures, including Chelsea vs. Borussia Dortmund.


Benfica vs. Brugge (Tuesday, 8.00pm)

Needing nothing short of a miracle to keep their Champions League dream alive, Club Brugge make the trip to Portugal to tackle Benfica in the second leg of their last-16 affair on Tuesday night.

Roger Schmidt's men travelled back home from Belgium with a 2-0 advantage from the first leg, where defensive lapses proved fatal for Scott Parker's crop.

We say: Benfica 3-0 Club Brugge (Benfica win 5-0 on aggregate)


Club Brugge may have served Porto a slice of humble pie during their astounding group-stage exploits, but launching an improbable fightback at the home of the Primeira Liga leaders is surely a bridge too far.

Should Parker remain in the hotseat for the time being, a heavy defeat here could very well be the final nail in his Belgian coffin, as the Eagles will surely cruise through to the last eight with minimal difficulty.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Chelsea vs. Dortmund (Tuesday, 8.00pm)

Travelling to Stamford Bridge with a slender 1-0 lead to protect, Borussia Dortmund aim to finish the job in the second leg of their last-16 Champions League affair with Chelsea on Tuesday night.

Karim Adeyemi's sensational solo winner settled a tight contest at the Westfalenstadion three weeks ago, as Graham Potter goes in search of a priceless win that may just buy him some more time in the dugout.

We say: Chelsea 0-0 Borussia Dortmund (Dortmund win 1-0 on aggregate)


Having eight shots on target at the Westfalenstadion but failing to make the net ripple just about sums up the confidence of Chelsea's attackers right now, and winning against Leeds courtesy of a defender's header may not lead to the massive injection of confidence that Potter requires.

As a result, the temptation to hold what they have should be very real for an in-form Borussia Dortmund, who can frustrate the Blues over the course of the 90 minutes and book their spot in the last eight, leaving a familiar sense of dread on the Stamford Bridge crowd in doing so.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.
