Chelsea at AC Milan: Champions League betting guide

If you had told me that this CFC side was capable of producing two consecutive 3-0 victories merely a month ago, I would’ve called you crazy. I’ll always be a massive fan of Thomas Tuchel and appreciate all he did for the club, but it seems pretty apparent that these players just needed to hear a new voice in the dressing room. The attack had gone brutally stale and individual mistakes at the back were costing the Blues crucial points in what is shaping up to be a competitive race for a spot in next season’s UCL. Even Tuchel’s most ardent defender would have to admit that the forwards are playing better and the team feels more fluid transitioning between phases of play. It’s obviously still early days, but Graham Potter’s fingerprints are visible all over the new game plan.

With that being said, traveling to the legendary San Siro for a mutually-important European contest is an entirely different task than facing Wolves at Stamford Bridge. The Midlands side was riddled with injuries and suspensions, just as the Rossoneri were in Tuesday’s reverse fixture, and lacked any coherent strategy apart from ‘kick the ball towards Diego Costa and pray.’
