Chelsea 13/5 to draw against Schalke tonight in the Champions League

Competition: Champions League
Market: Chelsea to draw against Schalke
Odds: 13/5 @ Coral

Chelsea have a difficult tie tonight, with the Blues facing their former manager’s new side Schalke. The German outfit have been solid on home soil since his arrival, which could see Chelsea coming unstuck when the two lock horns this evening. But the Londoners are yet to lose a game in any capacity, so they will also be a threat to the Germans.

Jose Mourinho’s side have drawn three of their last five away games in all competitions, and they don’t need to win tonight as their remaining game against Sporting Lisbon (home) in December will see them finish as group winners should they get all three points. Chelsea would much prefer grinding out a point tonight if they can rest some key players, which could well see them sitting back and soaking the pressure, rather than going for the kill against Schalke.

Therefore, Coral are giving odds of 13/15 for the two sides to play out a stalemate. Both managers are keen to play down any rumours of a rivalry between the pair of them, and with Chelsea & Schalke likely to finish in the top-two places in their group, a draw would suit everybody.
