Champions League: All English teams 7/1 to qualify for last 16

Matt Haynes | December 8, 2015

As the last round of Champions League pool fixtures approach, Coral still offer superb 7/1 odds for all English teams to progress to the last 16 of the competition.

We take a look at each teams’ chances with one group game left to play…

Arsenal

As the Gunners prepare to take on Olympiakos in Greece, they will still be reeling from their 3-2 defeat at the Emirates. Arsene Wenger’s side can still qualify for the last 16, though, and must better the scoreline that their hosts beat them by previously to overtake their head-to-head record with away goals counting.

A 3-2 win in Arsenal’s favour would be enough to see them qualify on overall goal difference, while any victory (apart from 1-0 or 2-1) would mean that Wenger’s men progress.

Chelsea

Simply put, if the Blues beat Porto, then they will win their group, ensuring an easier tie in the last 16, though they will be wary of their 2-1 defeat in Portugal previously. However, Jose Mourinho’s side will also progress with a draw, though in second place. At Stamford Bridge they should be more than confident of taking the three points, such is their odds-on 19/20 price with Coral to do so.

If they can top Group G it could give them the confidence they need to push on and win the competition and quite possibly resurrect their Premier League form, though the likes of Diego Costa and Eden Hazard will need to step up and improve considerably on their current form.
