Chelsea v Bordeaux Betting Tuesday, ITV 4, 7:45pm

September 16, 2008 by Ben Filed under: Football

Chelsea start their Champions League season at Stamford Bridge, looking to go one better than last year. After coming within one kick of last years trophy the Blues brought in World Cup winner Luiz Felipe Scolari to help them capture the one trophy eluding them.

They welcome back the experienced pair of Michael Ballack and Didier Drogba, with the latter aiming to make up for his sending off in the final last May. He will be looking to make the most of the French sides defensive frailties, as they have the defensive trio of Mathieu Chalme, Benoit Tremoulinas and Brazilian Henrique missing through a combination of injury and suspension.

Chelsea are 2/7 with VCbet to open with a win, while Bordeaux are 9/1 with BGbet to cause an unlikely upset.

If Joe Cole scores at anytime during Chelsea v Bordeaux, BGbet will refund all losing first goalscorer stakes on the match.

This has home win written all over it.
