Prediction F.C Barcelona vs Chelsea 21 February 2018

Chelsea will host F.C Barcelona at Stamford Bridge in the first leg of the Champions League last 16 of 2017/18 on Wednesday (21/2). This two teams meet in the UEFA Champions League 2012 Finals with Chelsea as the winner but this time it's going to be different these two team are going head to head clashing in the round of 16 of UEFA Champions League with the heavily favorite to win F.C. Barcelona considering their brilliance performance in La Liga and Copa del Rey because Chelsea this season struggle a lot in Premier League. Nevertheless, you can't underestimate this Chelsea squad lead by their head coach Antonio Conte this Chelsea team still capable of getting an upset. This match up also still intriguing considering historically and the stars studded of the team with likes of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Gerard Pique of F.C. Barcelona while on Chelsea side with the likes of Alvaro Morata, Eden Hazard and former F.C. Barcelona Cesc Fabregas.

In the group stage this season, F.C. Barcelona never suffered a defeat with a record of 4 wins and 2 draws while Chelsea just did enough to qualify for the Round of 16 with a record of 3 wins, 2 draws, and 1 lose. F.C. Barcelona La Liga standing this season so far perfect with 19 wins and 5 draws, carrying a 62 points which clear from one of their rival Atletico Madrid by 7 points. Chelsea on the other hand Premier League standing this season had 16 wins, 5 draws, and 6 loses which is not quite good considering how good they are but considering Premier League which is a home of one the best club in football in the world. Both this team perform really will on their last match up with Barcelona smoothly winning against Eibar team with 2-0 while Chelsea wins easily with 3-0 against West Brom, so literally this two team are really hot but with the brilliance and excellence of F.C. Barcelona this season I think it will be a grit and grind for Chelsea team, it will go down to par excellence of Barcelona and they will rise and have advantage at the end of the game.
