CHELSEA V BASEL PREDICTIONS

Chelsea take the advantage into the second leg of this Europa League semi-final but the tie is far from over with this very dangerous Basel side still capable of causing a shock.

The first leg saw Chelsea waste little time and they took the lead after just 12 minutes through Viktor Moses and that looked to be the only goal of the game as we nearer the end of the game but then the match sparked to life.  Basel won a controversial penalty in the 87^th minute and looked to have rescued the draw when centre back Fabian Schar converted to make it 1-1 but things were not done yet!  David Luiz was playing in midfield for Chelsea in this game and has scored a few fantastic goals lately fancied his chances from a 25 yard freekick in the 94^th minute and he beat the keeper to give Chelsea a last gasp win.  The goalkeeper could have done better and Basel will feel they at least deserved a draw from the game.

Chelsea got back to winning ways in the EPL at the weekend with an important 2-0 win over Swansea which keeps them as favourites in the top 4 race but they have two tough matches coming up against Manchester United and Tottenham so that fight is far from over.

Basel suffered a shock 3-0 defeat at home to Luzern but luckily for them Grasshopper also suffered an unlikely defeat which keeps the gap at 3 points in Basel’s favour.

CHELSEA – BASEL BETTING TIPS

Chelsea will be confident they can put the tie beyond all doubt here and will be strong favourites to win but know Basel can cause a shock.  Basel having to score at least 2 goals will mean they have to push forward and that will give Chelsea the advantage.
