-5 Units

Match: Roma vs Chelsea
Pick: Draw - Chelsea (HT/FT)
Odds: 5.67 (Betfair)
Stake: 5 units

I know this looks like exactly the same bet as on Saturday, but I really can't find any other better value bet except for maybe Chelsea to win @ 2.2, but those are too low as the chance of a draw is a strong possibility.

I expect Roma to get bodies behind the ball, frustrating Chelsea. Ashley Cole is out, and Bridge deputizing means less forays down the left flank. Roma managed to contain Chelsea well the first match, and I think they will adopt the same tactic again, so I see goals in the 2nd half more likely than the first, and only for Chelsea to score. Totti is not back to full fitness so Roma will lack that creative spark to create goals.
