My Chelsea picks:

I’m not incredibly confident that the Blues will turn the tie around and advance to the UCL quarter-finals, but I also wouldn’t rule it out as a possibility entirely. The squad responded well to Potter’s shift to three at the back against Leeds United, and I would hope he utilizes the same system on Tuesday. His team selection is going to be massive as well, with many supporters questioning his substitution decisions over the weekend despite the final result. Getting an early goal and parking the bus to play for penalties would be Chelsea’s best plan of action, in my opinion.

Next. Potter hasn’t yet won reprieve despite desperate Chelsea win. dark

For my first two picks this week, I’ll take draw for the halftime result prop at +125 and under 0.5 first-half goals for the away team at -190. I have to go full homer with my final selection. Give me CFC to qualify for the next round at +128 odds. Progressing in the Champions League would be the only redemption in what has been an absolutely miserable season in west London. That kind of result might even save Potter’s job until the summer. Odds are subject to constant change.
