With a foot in the semifinals of the Champions League, Chelsea will look to get their last-four spot sealed when they meet their Portuguese counterparts for the second time in a week. And following their exploits in the Premier League last weekend, they will be pretty confident, heading into this fixture.

Porto, like their opponents, did just about enough to cop a win in the Primeira Liga some days ago. While they seem destined for elimination from the Champions League, they would want to make life difficult for Chelsea, at the very least.

Chelsea vs FC Porto Team News

Chelsea took the wheels of this double-legged Champions League clash after beating Porto in the first leg, hence, the 2-0 aggregate score in favor of the Blues. Chelsea grabbed the lead in the first half through Mason Mount who opened his books in the competition with a fine strike.

A strong defensive show by the West-London side ensured they kept the lead, and they further deepened Porto's woes when Ben Chilwell found the net in the final minutes. While Chelsea hold a priceless advantage, heading into this fixture, their Portuguese counterparts face an uphill task, trying to overturn a two-goal deficit.

Chelsea went into that first-leg clash off the back of a harrowing 5-2 league defeat to relegation-threatened West Bromwich Albion. However, they bounced back in grand style by clinching a 4-1 victory over Crystal Palace last Saturday, making a statement in their chase for a top-four finish.

Much have been said about Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea and their struggles in the final third, but they quelled any more questions with a fluid attacking display at Selhurst Park last weekend. And the German tactician will, undoubtedly, be asking his side to build on this newfound balance.

Porto have had a mixed season so far, while beating Italian powerhouses Juventus might be the peak of their campaign so far, they still sit in 2nd-place, six points adrift the top spot of the Primeira Liga table. And they have Benfica breathing down their necks, three points away in third-position.

Hanging by a thread in Europe, the Dragoes will need, at least, two unanswered goals to force matters at Seville. As evidently shown by the proximity of the clubs at the top, Sergio Conceicao's side don't have a guaranteed place in Europe's elite competition next season, as a little slip could do all the damage to their season ambitions.

However, they got the job done against Tondela last weekend, beating the 10th-placed side to notch up their fifth consecutive victory in the league. Mehdi Taremi and Toni Martinez were on the scoresheet for Porto, clinching maximum points for the giants.

Injured or Suspended Players

Chelsea: Charly Musonda Jr.
FC Porto: Francisco Meixedo, Ivan Marcano, Diogo Costa and Mehdi Taremi.

Chelsea vs FC Porto Predictions

Having gained a solitary win in their last 20 away games in the Champions League knockout phase, Porto can be said to have troubles dealing with opponents away from home - either on the opponent's turf, or a neutral ground.

Meanwhile, Chelsea will be counting on their growing defensive stability, having picked up three clean sheets in their last three matches in the Champions League. And given Chelsea's strength at the back, it's hard to see Porto hurting them enough for a win. So, we are backing Chelsea to come up trumps in this fixture.
