After winning the first game with 2:0, Chelsea meets Copenhagen at home on Old Trafford.
Since they victory over Copenhagen, Chelsea recorded two victories in the Premier League as well, one of which was against Manchester United at home with 2:1. Chelsea has also lost only one of the last 25 games at home in Champions League. On top of that against Danish teams, the Blues are unbeaten here, winning 4 and tying only 1 game. Anelka has scored 7 goals in six of his appearances, making him the most dangerous strike for the opponents. In the group stage Chelsea scored 8 goals on Stamford Bridge and conceded only 2 in all 3 games.
Copenhagen did also well in the groups, considering that they shared a group with Barcelona. The team lost 2 and won 1 of the 3 away games. Overall the team has lost 5 of the last 6 Champions League away games, excluding the qualification rounds. Otherwise in the Danish SaS liga, the team is first with 54 points in 21 games, recording 17 win 3 draws and just 1 loss this season. However the unfortunate score in the first game basically leaves them without any real chances.

Copenhagen will be looking for a goal from the first minute, since they have a lot of catching up to do. This will most likely make their defense more vulnerable, and if Chelsea is able to take advantage we should wee a goal in the first half. However the odds are very low for such bet priced at 1.68 for Chelsea to be leading with 1 goal on half time.
Basically you do not have a lot of great bets and options for this game unless you are going for the surprise that somehow Copenhagen will score at least two goals here. Therefore you are left with going for Chelsea with a handicap. Be careful, however since Chelsea needs almost nothing out of this game, yes a goal would be nice, but even a draw would push them through the next stage. However I do believe that Ancelloti’s team will make their fans happy but scoring at least two goals in this game. I will suggest going for an Asian handicap over 1.5, since 1 and 0.5 barely give you any good odds.
