Betting suggestion:
This clash marks the meeting between two teams that are among the biggest in world football. Chelsea has been giving some stumbling but still remain among the top spot in the Premier League. Barcelona has been making an extraordinary campaign, and remain in the isolated leadership of the Spanish Championship. However, in international terms the Spanish team has a more glorious retrospective, having accumulated five titles of the UEFA Champions League, five of the UEFA Super Cup and three of the FIFA Club World Cup. The English side has won the UEFA Champions League once, as have the Europa League and the UEFA Super Cup, with a runner-up of the FIFA Club World Cup. However, although they may present some quality differences, both teams have a lot of offensive strength, so it's a good option to bet both teams will score.

Preview
Chelsea and Barcelona face at Stamford Bridge, in a match for this stage of the UEFA Champions League (8th Finals). The only recent head‑to‑head between these two teams was played on 29‑07‑2015, and ended in a (4‑2) win by Chelsea, after a penalty shootout. Chelsea registers significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth special attention.
Analysis Chelsea
The home team got access to this stage of the UEFA Champions League (8th Finals) after having finished the group stage in the 2nd position of Group C, with 11 points won. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 24 goals scored and 17 conceded; against 10 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss at their stadium, with 27 goals scored and 7 conceded. In their last match, for the FA Cup, they got a home win against Hull City by (4‑0). In the last 10 home matches Chelsea has won 7, tied 2 and lost 1. Their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 5 of the last 6 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 23 of the last 35 have ended with Over 2,5 goals.
Chelsea makes in this exhibition the latest in a series of three consecutive games at home, but the first of the year by the UEFA Champions League. The last victory of the team was valid for the Cup of England, against Hull City. Earlier, the team had beaten West Bromwich by 3-0 in a game where it had a great performance, both in offensive and defensive terms, and thus added three more points in the English Championship, where it now occupies the fourth place. The team reaches this stage of the continental tournament after finishing in the second position of Group C, tied for number of points with leader Roma, but with one of the four best attacks of the competition, although in the national championship the defense is the great highlight of the team. The 3-4-2-1 or 3-5-1-1 should be the scheme used in this duel by the manager Conte, who should not have major problems among the initial eleven.

Analysis Barcelona
The away team comes to this stage of the UEFA Champions League (8th Finals) after having finished the group stage in the 1st position of Group D, with 14 points won. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 9 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss in away matches, with 29 goals scored and 6 conceded; against 13 wins and 2 draws at their stadium, with 42 goals scored and 6 conceded. In their last match, for the Primera División, they got an away win against Eibar by (0‑2). In the last 10 away matches Barcelona has won 6, tied 3 and lost 1. Defensive consistency has been one of their best features, as they have only conceded goals in 1 of the last 6 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 28 of the last 32 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 4 times but have turned the score around in 2. In the last 20 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 3 of their 8 goals between minutes (31'‑45').
Barcelona plays again away from home for its first 2018 fixture in an international competition, hoping to maintain the excellent performance throughout the season to surprise Chelsea in this first leg. Considering only the Spanish Championship, the team has been unbeaten for 31 matches, thus equaling the 2010/2011 mark, when it was headed by Guardiola. In the last round, the team had a great defensive and also offensive performance, and thus defeated Eibar away from home, continuing in the lead. The Spaniards managed to qualify unbeaten in the lead of Group D - who still had as a member strong Juventus - but failed to show the same offensive power that has been presented in the national championship. For this duel, it is likely that the coach will organize the team in the 4-4-2 or 4-3-3, without great absences.
