Chelsea
After starting the season with an draw against Stoke City, Chelsea managed to win the rest of the games against W.B.A, Norwich and Sunderland with 2:1, 3:1 and 2:1. Notice that the team did not kept a clean sheet in any of those matches, something strange when you consider that Chelsea was the best defensive team in 2010 in EPL. Against German opponents, Chelsea has achieved 4 victories and a draw in the 5 home matches from Champions League. On top of that in only one of those fixture, their opponents managed to score on Stamford Bridge.
Bayer Leverkusen
Leverkusen started the season in Bundesliga quite well, recording 3 victories a draw and a loss in a total of 5 games, and currently sitting on the 4th position. This is Leverkusen’s first appearance after 7 years of absence. Back then, the team lost their away game against Dynamo Kyiv with 2:4 and drew the matches against Roma and Real Madrid, to finish first in the group with 11 points. However the team failed to achieve more, losing to Liverpool with 3:1 both home and away in the Round of 16. Michael Ballack will return on Stamford Bridge to meet his former team Chelsea.
