Chelsea and Atletico Madrid square off on Tuesday with the former looking to be number one and the latter looking to pull off a minor miracle. Here are our predictions!
Barrett Rouen: 2-1. Chelsea put the nail in the coffin of a weaker-than-previous-years Atletico and manage to do a phenomenal job defending and attacking in numbers. Atletico, though, still steal one.
Travis Tyler: 1-1. Atletico need this win more than Chelsea, but Conte will not field a significantly weakened lineup. He will play a team he thinks can win, but in the end 1-1 will be a fair result (especially considering that was the scoreline before Batshuayi scored on the last kick of the game last time).
Hugo Amaya: 1-1 Conte will not play his strongest side in order to allow some players to rest, but the Blues will equalise late in the second half. Atletico will feel hard done by as they looked to do everything in their power to qualify, but Chelsea’s persistence will prove enough to get a point.
Scott Brant: 2-0. Conte will want to finish atop of the group. The Blues will stifle Atletico keeping them pinned in their own half for much of the match. Morata with a goal. Godin own goal.
Kevin Peacock: Chelsea secure the point they need to gain top spot in their Champions League group by grabbing a 2-2 draw against a fully focused Atletico side. Conte names a strong starting XI, not wanting to end the winning momentum Chelsea have built up since that Roma defeat.
Shivansh Sareen: 2-1. A repeat of the scoreline at Wanda sees Chelsea top the group. Saul for Atletico, Morata and Hazard for Chelsea.
Nate Hofmann: 1-0. The Diego Derby/Torres Tussle/Filipe Fracas/Courtois Controversy doesn’t exactly light the footballing world on fire, but Chelsea top their group with a Gary Cahill goal from a corner.
Abhishek Pancholi: 2-0. Atletico need a win and their unusually attacking approach leaves them open to Chelsea counter-attacks. Willian to be a handful, once again.
Next: Don’t blame Hazard, no-one can resist Real Madrid
