Stats, Facts and Possibilities – UCL Preview Chelsea Dortmund
Chelsea lost the first leg away in Germany despite creating more chances. A sharp breakaway from Karim Adeyemi sunk Chelsea, home advantage could sway Tuesday’s tie in Chelsea’s way. It is difficult to know how Chelsea will shape up tomorrow, they could stick to the 3-4-3 shape helped get a win over the weekend.
The Blues head into this game with a win probability of over 40% to Dortmund’s 32% with data showing there is a 28% statistical chance that the game ends in a draw.
Over 1.5 goals is favoured because of it being a second leg UCL clash, but looking at Chelsea’s recent matches, that looks a little risky. Chelsea have only scored twice in their last 5 matches and although Dortmund have averaged 2 goals per game in their last 5, Chelsea showed that they can contain their attacks quite well in the first leg. 0-0 and 0-1 to Dortmund are the most picked scorelines for the game at Stamford Bridge.
