What to expect from this match?

Galatasaray showed that there is a reason why they are among the final 16 teams in the Champions League in the first meeting between the two sides. This week, they have the chance of sending Chelsea out in the dark, but it is not an easy task at Stamford Bridge. The Chelsea fans will welcome Didier Drogba welcome back at their ground well knowing he can be the man sending them out. Chelsea have the away goal from first meeting on their side, and play a defensive match. However, with opponents as Drogba and Sneijder Chelsea can not feel safe until the final whistle. Galatasaray will have to get forward, so I am expecting a well played match with a high amount of chances in both ends of the pitch.

What are the odds?

Bet365 has Chelsea as favorites with a 2/5 odds while a draw pays best betting with Unibet who offers an odds of 4. Galatasaray gives an odds 8 with Betfair.
