Chelsea vs Lille 22.02.2022

Chelsea may not be at their best right now, but they are heavy favorites for the last eight after twice landing the easiest tie on paper, back in December. Chelsea are on a five-game winning run, although two of those victories came in extra time, lining up against a Lille side who are mid-table in Ligue 1 makes the holders heavy favorites for a quarter-final berth.

On the other hand, Lille (7) come into this round as the lowest scoring group winners since both Leicester City and Atletico Madrid in 2016-17, so they don’t exactly pack much of a punch. Lille have kept back-to-back clean sheets heading into this tie, so expect them to look to keep things tight at Stamford Bridge.

As a result, we fancy Chelsea to work so hard to edge it out resulting in more than 6 corners from the home team.
