Prediction
- Chelsea have already secured their place in the next round and will secure top spot with a win here, or if Roma fail to beat Qarabag in the group’s other game.
- Atletico Madrid kept their hopes of a top-two finish alive in the last round and must win at Stamford Bridge and hope Roma fail to beat Qarabag to have any chance of joining Chelsea in the next round.
- Atletico have rediscovered their goalscoring touch at the right time but Chelsea are the only team that have beaten Diego Simeone’s side in any competition this season. It’s an equally poised game but you have to think Atletico have themselves with too much to do.
