Jose Mourinho and his Inter Milan side will be defending a 2-1 first leg lead when they kick off in this much awaited second leg, Champions League match at Stamford Bridge. Mourinho of course can expect a great welcome back from a crowd who still believe he was their best ever manager and who would dearly love to have him as their leader once again. However, will that same crowd remain onside with him should his team successfully defend (or even extend) their lead and qualify at the expense of Chelsea?
Comprehensive Champions League Betting Preview
The Bookmakers certainly do not believe that Mourinho will be going back to Italy victorious however, who have Chelsea as resounding favourites to both win the match and to qualify for the last eight. For instance, Ladbrokes.com have Chelsea 8/13 odds on to win this match and 4/6 odds on to qualify, while they have Inter at 4/1 to win the match and 11/10 to qualify. The draw for this match can be backed with odds of 9/4.
Chelsea in fact bounced back to winning form last weekend with a comfortable 4-1 win over West Ham where top scorer, Didier Drogba scored twice to bring his Premier League tally to 21. Drogba needless to say is favourite in the opening goalscorer market for this match with attractive odds of 4/1 available from Ladbrokes
The opening goal of course is very much a vital factor in this match, Chelsea will want to get level with Inter as quickly as possible, but even then, they would not feel completely secure until they have at least a three goal lead. If Inter score first, then Chelsea could find themselves in serious trouble, where once again they would need to score at least three goals to qualify.

We think that Chelsea should win, but it is worth noting that they will have their third choice goalkeeper, Ross Turnbull between the sticks, a fact that will not be lost on Mourinho. The inexperienced Turnbull can expect a difficult time of it in this match where it will be essential that he keeps a clean sheet. Nonetheless, we take Chelsea to win, possibly after extra time, and would take a chance on a 3-1 scoreline that carries odds of 12/1
