Tip and bets
Both opponents have almost guaranteed a spot in the knock-out stages for themselves, but current champion of the tournament surely doesn't want to lose points at home. Juventus have injuried players, so coach has an opportunity to give a chance to reserve players. We are expecting a boring match with a low number of goal opportunities. We think that the outcome of this game will be decided by one or two mistakes, so we offer to place a bet on that.
Our prediction - total under 2,5 goals
It is extremely important for the hosts to pick up points and to book a place in the knock-out stage. Even a draw may be a positive result for Chelsea, but fans' support and a strong squad can help the Pensioners to record a narrow victory.
Our second bet is on Chelsea to record a victory by one goal
