Double Chance: Dortmund to Win or Draw
Although Chelsea finally notched a win this weekend over Leeds in the Premier League, the team is still in poor form and struggling. On the other hand, Dortmund is in great form and on an eight-game winning streak in Bundesliga at the moment.
All things considered, our first Chelsea vs Dortmund prediction is for the guests to avoid a loss in this game, which would take them through to the quarter-finals after winning the first leg 1-0.
Both Teams to Score – Yes
We only saw one goal in the first leg between these two teams, but we can see that changing in the second leg, especially since Chelsea will have to chase a win if they want to get to the next stage.
That should leave a lot of room on offense to Dortmund as well, so our second Chelsea vs Dortmund prediction is for both teams to score in the game as they will both fight to score and that should mean an open game.

The Blues finished the group stages as the top team in Group E, ahead of AC Milan, Salzburg, and Dinamo Zagreb.

Chelsea Predicted Lineup:
Kepa – Chalobah, Koulibaly, Fofana – James, Kovacic, Fernandez, Chilwell – Sterling, Havertz, Felix
Dortmund
The first half of the season has been a solid one for Borussia Dortmund, but it seems that things are clicking on all cylinders for the team right now. After all, Dortmund won eight games in a row in Bundesliga and they are in a tight race for the title with Bayern Munich. Also, the team enters the second leg of Champions League duel with Chelsea with a one-goal advantage and a good chance to reach quarter-finals.
When it comes to team news, Youssoufa Moukoko, Mateu Morey, Donyell Malen, Abdoulaye Kamara, and Julien Duranville are out with injuries, while Gregor Kobel, the team's first-choice goalkeeper, is questionable. Also, Julian Ryerson is suspended for this game.

Player to Watch: Jude Bellingham
Although he is still just nineteen years old, Jude Bellingham is already one of the biggest names in European football, especially after his performances for England at the World Cup in Qatar, where he was one of the main players for the Three Lions.
When it comes to club performances, Bellingham is the top goalscorer for Dortmund in Champions League this season, even though is a midfielder. The youngster managed to score four goals and add one assists, so he is the one to watch against Chelsea.
