The 2025/26 UCL league phase continues on Tuesday as Chelsea host Barcelona in arguably the best game of the day.
The Blues are slight +135 favorites on DraftKings Sportsbook for this one, with a draw available at +300. Fancy a Barcelona win? The Spanish side are +170 on the moneyline.
Chelsea vs. Barcelona Prediction, Pick
This game could go either way, so I will take the over instead.
Both teams have seven points from their first four games, winning two, drawing one and losing one. Barcelona have scored 12 and conceded seven. Chelsea have scored nine and conceded six. Both teams sit in second place in their respective league tables. There isn’t much to separate these teams. I would give Barcelona the edge in quality, but with the game being in London, it’s a coin flip in my opinion.
There are goals to be had in this one, as evidenced by the results of both teams so far in this season’s Champions League. For Barca, four or more goals have been scored in two of four games. In the two games that went under this total, three total goals were scored. For Chelsea, four or more goals have been scored in three of their four matches.
Both teams score a lot, both teams concede a lot. I have no idea what’s going to happen in this one, but I am fairly confident it will be an entertaining goal fest.
