Chelsea will face a strong test on Thursday night when they travel to Commerzbank-Arena for the first leg of the Europa League semi-final against Eintracht Frankfurt.
The Eagles are still three points adrift of Borussia Monchengladbach and Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga ladder, in spite of slip-ups against Wolfsburg and Hertha BSC in past two rounds.
Great goals and silky skills from the Blues at the training ground this week:
Chelsea drew 1-1 to Manchester United in Sunday’s Premier League clash with Marcos Alonso cancelling out Juan Mata’s opener. The Blues looked vulnerable defensively and should be concerned by Antonio Rudiger’s knee injury but did have chances to steal the win.
Maurizio Sarri’s men have consistently scored plenty of goals in the Europa League.
The Blues have netted three or more in four of their last five European matches with Olivier Giroud bagging 10 in his last nine Europa League appearances.
Chelsea are fourth in the Premier League as Eintracht Frankfurt are in the Bundesliga. A Chelsea win on Thursday is thus paying reasonable odds of 2.50 whilst a draw can be backed at 3.30.
