Borussia – Chelsea. Forecast for the Champions League 15.02.2023

It’s time for the playoffs in the Champions League. Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea will play against each other. The British against the Germans – who will win this time in a long-standing confrontation?

Borussia

Borussia Dortmund played under Marco Rose last season. And they were able to return to 2nd place, but there were too many disappointments, and, perhaps, the Germans failed most loudly in the Champions League. This time they were lucky to play in a group with then weak Sevilla and Copenhagen – in general, this time they managed to get into the playoffs without any special problems. In the Bundesliga, there were much weaker indicators in the fall, but in the winter, after a pause, it turned out to add sharply – literally all the matches held in more than a month were won.

Chelsea

Chelsea initially pulled off a coaching rotation as a reaction to a disastrous start to the season. But after the arrival of Graham Potter, the British were able to add (it was then that they scored enough points to leave the group in the Champions League). But this effect ended in the fall, and the fall of the grand resumed. As a result, Bowley, the new owner, went to an unprecedented expense. What is the purchase in the deadline for 121 million Enzo Fernandez, who was not really known to anyone less than a year ago. We also bought other promising players, including Mudrik. True, with all of them already, even February started only with 0-0 against Fulham, newcomers to the Premier League. Yes, then Joao Felix still scored against West Ham – but it still ended in a draw, 1-1.

Curiously, these glorious clubs, which are consistently among the regulars of the Champions League, have managed to never intersect with each other before.
