Chelsea vs. PSG betting pick — Blues offense hot since Hiddink's return image

After falling to a 2-1 first-leg defeat at the Parc des Princes, Chelsea will need to come from behind when Paris Saint-Germain come to visit in Wednesday’s Champions League last 16 tie.

That result in the French capital remains Guus Hiddink’s only defeat in 17 matches since returning to Stamford Bridge, and he is available at +180 with the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook to get his own back with a victory in the second leg.

Les Parisiens have never won in three previous visits to west London in this competition but are slight +160 favorites to come out on top.

The visitors went through on away goals after securing a 2-2 draw at this stadium in last season’s round of 16, and you can get odds of +230 on them progressing to the quarterfinals via another stalemate this time out.

While they may have succumbed to a late Edinson Cavani winner, the Blues will have been relatively happy with a first-leg performance that leaves everything to play for in this return encounter.

Having achieved what every other Champions League visitor (including Real Madrid) had failed to accomplish in French capital this season by finding the net, the Premier League outfit now need just a 1-0 victory to progress.

Although getting on the scoresheet is more than achievable for a team that has struck 24 goals on home turf since Hiddink’s return, their return of just one clean sheet in that period suggests such a low-scoring game is unlikely.

With Chelsea having hit the back of the net in each of their last 22 home games in this competition but failed to keep a clean sheet in seven fixtures coming into this clash, odds of -120 are not to be missed on goals being scored at both ends for their fifth encounter in six with PSG.
