Bet On Crucial Chelsea Champions League Match

Chelsea Football Club needs to muster every inch of discipline and talent it has ahead of a crucial match against Valencia on December 6th, if the team wants to make it through to the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League football tournament.

The Blues are literally at knife's-edge to get any further in the competition, and they will have to prove their worth from the moment the game begins at Stamford Bridge in London at 20:45 on Matchday 6 of the Champions League.

Chelsea will only make it through to the final sixteen stage if they beat or manage a no-score draw against the Spaniards.

Chelsea find themselves in this position after losing to the German Bayern Leverkusen in the group stages, with a score of 2-1 this week.

This was Chelsea's fourth defeat in the past seven games, and the team clearly has to improve dramatically if it wants to get further in the competition.

Speaking about the team's loss to the Germans, coach Andre Villas-Boas said: "It was a game which was heading for a 1-1, big chances for both teams, but I think we had a good share of chances in the first half and the second half."

"Not good football was played by any of the teams, which was in the end a pity but that's not what matters today," he said. "What matters is that Leverkusen takes three important points which will change the nature of the group and we go to our last game against Valencia to decide our qualification."

Bet on Chelsea vs Valencia Champions League Match

With such incredible pressure on Chelsea, we can see one of two things happening in its match against Valenica on December 6th - the team will either buckle, or it will fight back and get through to the knockout stage of the competition.

If Chelsea FC does decide to fight back however, it needs to remember who its opponent is. As a reminder, Valencia thrashed Genk 7-0 at Stamford Bridge this week, crippling the Belgians.
