Chelsea scored in Istanbul and resisted Fenerbahce attacks for a long time. Still, Kazim and Deivid managed to outsmart Cudiccini and so take a very important triumph back home before the away leg in London.

The Blues weren’t brilliant in the second half

First quarterfinal leg started excellent for Chelsea players. They haven't let the atmosphere from the stands disturb them and after only 20 minutes into the game they had the lead. As the match was coming to an end, Blues’ concentration dropped and they conceded twice. Last weekend they celebrated against Manchester City, and manager Grant fielded the combined line-up. Drogba and Ballack haven’t even entered the pitch and Joe Cole played only 40 minutes which clearly speaks of the intention to start this match with the strongest line-up. Cudiccini will again be in front of the net, since the first guardian Cech is still injured. The only player under the threat of suspension is Essien.

Can Fener eliminate Chelsea?

Fenerbahce are in an excellent run. Ever since they eliminated Sevilla, blue-yellow celebrated in six successive games. Last win was marked on Saturday, which is a great intro before the returning leg at Stamford Bridge. Coach Ziko and his players are aware that they very qualification for top eight clubs in Europe is a historical success for Istanbul side but everyone wants to go a step further. They were ruled out against Sevilla but they got back in the game and through penalties managed to qualify for the quarterfinals. They will be stronger in London, since Gokhan completed his suspension and he will take his place on the right side.

Betting Verdict

Chelsea are one goal behind and they will definitely try to find their way to keeper Demirel's net. In the game against Sevilla, Fenerbahce showed that they can’t defend and that they always play for the goal margin. We believe that the match will hold many goals so we suggest that you go along with it on your slip.
