The Chelsea v Barcelona odds for the second leg semi final at Stamford Bridge have the Blues as the narrowest of favourites to win the leg, but strangely have Barcelona favourites to reach the final. This of course makes no sense but such are the idiosyncrasies of soccer betting.
After the first leg, which ended goalless in the Nou Camp, Chelsea should have little to fear. They played the perfect game against them, neutralising the Spaniards from virtually every position on the pitch. The reality is they actually made Barcelona look ordinary and were the first team to leave Nou Camp this season without conceding a goal.

Chelsea now have the opportunity to ‘turn the screw' and know that if they can score once and keep a clean sheet they will go through to their second successive Champions League Final. In fact Chelsea fans and soccer punters alike should not be afraid of taking the 10/3 odds on offer from Stan James to win the Champions League Final. They certainly have the quality, the track record and in Gus Hiddink, they have one of the best managers in the world.
We certainly fancy Chelsea's chances, we believe that they have done the hard work and that they have the ruthlessness necessary to see the Spaniards off. With Didier Drogba looking like the best striker in Europe right now we would back him to score at least once on the night and put Chelsea into the final.
6/4 Chelsea, 7/4 Barcelona, 11/4 Draw
