Despite being the favorite to advance, the Blues are a +200 underdog in the first leg against Borussia Dortmund.
If Chelsea is going to salvage its season it’ll have to be through a surprising run in the Champions League. The Blues currently sit in 10th place in the Premier League and are 10 points behind Newcastle for a spot in the top-four. Graham Potter has his work cut out for him, but he can at least hang his hat on the fact that Chelsea have a decent draw in the Round of 16.
Borussia Dortmund are no pushovers, but bookmakers have Chelsea as a -160 favorite to advance past the Germans in the first knockout stage. Despite being the favorite to advance, the Blues are a +200 underdog in the first leg, which takes place at the Westfalenstadion.21+. New customers only.

But there are some silver linings for Chelsea. The Blues have created nearly 11 expected goals in their last five games, meaning they are underperforming by almost seven goals in their last five contests. In other words, it’s not that Chelsea isn’t creating scoring opportunities, it’s just that they are not finishing their chances.
