BAR vs CHE 2nd Leg Last-16 UEFA Champions League Dream 11 Football Prediction Fantasy Team News

Barcelona vs Chelsea

UEFA Champions League

BAR vs CHE MATCH PREVIEW:

Whoever wins this match will be the last team to enter the quarterfinal as by the time Barcelona and Chelsea kick-off the match, and taking away all the hypothetical imaginations from Besiktas’ match, Bayern would be the seventh team waiting for them in the hat.

Barcelona will be the favorites after scoring the all-important away goal after Lionel Messi ended his goal drought against Chelsea. Also considering the fact that Barcelona are unbeaten in home matches, the Blues know they have an insurmountable task of getting through to the quarterfinals.

With eight-point separating the Blaugrana and Atletico Madrid at the 2nd place, La Liga seems destined for Camp Nou this season. As a result, Lionel Messi & Company can fully focus on their Champions League campaign.

Chelsea, on the other hand, are trying everything in their capacity to save this season. The Premier League title was already gone by December and the Blues also suffered cup exits earlier than they would have expected.

So Champions League and finishing in the top-4 remain the top priority for Antonio Conte and his stuttering men.

BAR vs CHE TEAM NEWS:

Barcelona:

Antonio Conte hailed Barcelona legend Andres Iniesta as a ‘Genius’ and will be hoping that the 2010 world cup hero doesn’t feature in this match as he will have a late fitness test.

Lionel Messi missed the Malaga clash due to the birth of his child, but will definitely return for this clash. Philippe Coutinho is ineligible after playing for Liverpool. While Nelson Semedo and Sergi Roberto are racing against time to be fit for this clash.

PROBABLE XI

Stegen (GK); Roberto, Pique, Untiti, Alba, Paulinho, Busquets, Iniesta, Suarez, Messi

Centre-back David Luiz, January signing Ross Barkley, and Tiemoue Bakayoko are all doubts for the visitors.

INDIA FANTASY PREDICTION:

All the good work that Ernesto Valverde has done so far this season will be undone if Barcelona comes unstuck against Chelsea. Though, we are not predicting that and are backing the hosts to finish the job.

A 2-0 win looks a good value for money.
