Porto started the fight in the group "G" with a draw. "The Dragons" reached a result of 2:2 in their visit to Dynamo Kiev in a very exciting match. Julen Lopetegui`s team is ambitious to improve its achievement in the tournament mentioned by soccer tips from the last season, when dropped from Bayern Munich on the quarter finals. For the game against Chelsea in the composition of Lopetegui returns Ivan Marcano after he missed the visit to Kiev, because of punishment. At issue is the wing Yacine Brahimi. Vincent Aboubakar, who scored two goals against Dynamo Kiev, will be the main threat to the Chelsea`s defense. Giannelli Imbula is expected to make his debut in the tournament mentioned by soccer tips for Porto, as a holder in the midfield.

Chelsea won the first match in the tournament mentioned by soccer tips with 4:0. "Blues" had no problems on their stadium against Maccabi Tel Aviv and even failed to score a few more goals. The game with Porto will be special for the manager of Chelsea - Jose Mourinho. The Portuguese specialist won the Champions League with the "Dragons" in season 2004/2005 and is expected on Tuesday night to rob the applause of the fans on "Dragao". Chelsea started difficult in the Premier League and a bad match in Portugal will reinforce the pressure on the champion of England. Thibaut Courtois continues to heal his knee injury and will miss the important visit. So, Mourinho again will rely on Asmir Begovic to keep the door of Chelsea. Diego Costa, who is suspended for the matches in the Premier League will lead the attack. Kurt Zouma allowed a sever mistakes in the game against Newcastle (2:2), which was played over the weekend and this will cost him the place in the starting line-up. So, the captain John Terry, together with Gary Cahill will fight with the Portugese in the center of the defense.

Porto has serious defensive problems this season. In almost every game this year, Chelsea gets two hits in his door. So, we expect to witness a spectacle of goals on "Estadio do Dragao".
