The Blues were the dominant side in the first leg and missed a host of chances despite not playing their best player Eden Hazard. Frankfurt are having a terrible end of season campaign and conceded 6 goals in 36 minutes in their last Bundesliga match against Bayern Leverkusen.

TIPS

  1. Chelsea’s performance in the first leg coupled with their opponents’ poor form should make this an easy win for the Blues @1.41

2. Bayern Leverkusen’s poor defense might see the Germans concede a few just like they did at Leverkusen last weekend. Over 2.5 goals @1.55.

Valencia-Arsenal

The first leg was closely fought affair with Arsenal eventually winning 3-1 but the scoreline does not tell the whole story. Valencia should have scored more goals and it only took brilliant saves from Petr Cech to stop them. Arsenal is a team in a very bad run of form and are basically out of the top 4 race meaning that their only route back into the Champions League is through the Europa League.

Valencia scored 6 in their last match against Huesca but conceded 2. They have only lost once at home in their last 8 matches and will be up against an Arsenal defense that has not kept a clean sheet in their last 5 outings.
