The Uefa Champions League Round of 16 continues on Tuesday night and Chelsea have home advantage for the first leg of their clash with Bayern Munich

Chelsea

Chelsea came through Group H as runners up to Valencia with a record of 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat, Ajax just missed out and Lille were way back in fourth. Results at home were very mixed, starting with a 1-0 defeat to Valencia followed by a 4-4 draw with Ajax and a 2-1 win over Lille sealed their place in the last 16. A 1-0 win over Ajax in Amsterdam was Chelsea's only clean sheet in the group stage.

Chelsea are fourth in the Premier League standings and a 2-1 home win over Spurs at the weekend ended a run of 4 league games without a win. Home form is pretty average with 6 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats.

In the betting to be crowned Uefa Champions this season Chelsea are trading in the region of 40/1. Chelsea's last appearance in the Round of 16 came in 2017/18 and they bowed out to Barcelona, 4-1 on aggregate.

Bayern Munich

Bayern cruised through their group with a 100% record to finish well clear of Spurs with Olympiakos and Red Star the also rans. Bayern scored 25 goals in the group stage, 16 of those came away from home including a 7-2 win at Spurs.

In the top flight of the Bundesliga Bayern lead the way although they have RB Leipzig (1 point back) and Dortmund (4 points back) for company. In last week's Round of 16 matches Leipzig won 1-0 at Spurs and Dortmund were 2-1 winners at home to PSG.

Bayern are trading at around 11/2 to win the Champions League title. In the Round of 16 last season Bayern drew the first leg of their clash with Liverpool 0-0 at Anfield but then lost the return 3-1 in Munich.

The Betting

Chelsea can be backed at around 3/1 to win the first leg with the same price available about the draw and Bayern are odds on at around 15/20.

Verdict:

English clubs had a tough time in last week's first legs and Chelsea will need to pull out something pretty special if they are to head to Munich with a lead.

I fancy goals here, 3 or more with both sides contributing.

Bets: Both teams to score? (yes) and over 2.5 total match goals at 7/8
