Antonio Rudiger will be the key player in defending the 2 goal lead for his team. We expect him to get more than 1.5 tackles which at odds of 2.25 (bet 365) is one of the safest bets of the match.
Jorginho will be the key player for Chelsea in holding the possession for his team. Betting on him to get more than 57.5 passes at odds of 1.83 (bet 365) can be a good bet to make.

Lille will go all out in this match to have any chances of moving to the next round. We expect the game to have a lot of attacks and thus betting on the game to have a combination more than 10.5 corners and more than 3.5 cards at odds of 3.25 (betway) can give high returns at minimal risk.
Tim David will lead the attack against Chelsea in this all important game for his team. Betting on him to get a goal at odds of 3.60 (betway) can prove to be a really good bet.
