Schalke vs Chelsea – Preview and betting tips

The most exciting game of Uefa Champions League Group G will take place today from 19:45 and will put face to face Schalke 04 and Chelsea. The londoners have the first chance at bookmakers, but Schalke need a good result.

Schalke lost three of the last five competitive games. They are coming after a good result in Bundesliga, winning 3-2 at home against Wolfsburg. In UCL they are on the second place, with five points and an unimpressive goal difference of 8-9, with the worst defence in the group along with Maribor. Schalke need a good result here, otherwise Sporting Lisbon could pass in front of them. Draxler is the most important missing player for Schalke today.

Chelsea have no worries about a qualification place. They are leading the Group G with eight points, being the only team unbeaten in this group. Their goal difference, 9-2, is the best in this group by far. Mourinho will have no missing players for this away match, so we expect to see the best starting lineup, with Matic and Fabregas at the centre and Costa as the main striker, supported by Hazard and Willian on the flanks.

Schalke vs Chelsea probable lineups:
Schalke (4-2-3-1): Fahrmann – Uchida, Matip, Howedes, Fuchs – Aogo, Neustadter – Obasi, Boateng, Choupo-Moting – Huntelaar.
Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Courtois – Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Luis – Matic, Fabregas – Willian, Oscar, Hazard – Costa.

Prediction: 2 @ 1.80
The best odds for this bet are at Bwin right now. We expect Chelsea to confirm their excellent form and their superiority, winning the all three points here and securing the first place in Group G.
