F.C. Girondins de Bordeaux vs Chelsea F.C.



UEFA Champions League Group Stage, Matchday 5, 26 November 2008, 19:45 KO, Stade Chaban Delmas, France.

Chelsea head to France as they look to qualify for the knockout rounds of the Champions League.

The Blues beat their French opposition 4-0 at Stamford Bridge in September, and a repeat result will mean that Chelsea will qualify for the Round of 16 if Roma fail to beat CFR Cluj in Romania.

Can Bordeaux give Chelsea les bleus, or can Scolari's side ensure qualification?

[Laylabelle 9,296]

Defo must win really and lets make it out first away win of the comp!

2-0 and agree,or least have him as a sub rather a starter cause knowing our luck,he'll get injured

Erm 1-0

AWAY GAME

0-3 for Chelsea

And on the weekend a draw HOME with Arsenal

[Joe Cool 388]

I'm not too confident about this match, so I'll go with a nil nil draw. I do hope that we though

We REALLY need to win this game, otherwise we are in BIG trouble!!

UEFA Cup?? No, I'm not even going to think about that!!

Prediction: Bordeaux 0-1 Chelsea - Deco

A 1-0 win which will seem like a win but in reality, would seem like a grind-out having seen Bordeaux tear us apart for most of the game.

I agree with CJ.

Anything other than 3 points is not worth thinking about. The group is very tight as it is. We need to win to at least give us the opportunity of an easier ride against Cluj back at SB in a few weeks. Needing a win to qualify in the last game is a tough ask, considering our stuttering home form.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I'm feeling quite confident about this game, in all honesty. Bordeaux aren't on the greatest of runs at the moment themselves, and drew with Rennes at home last night. Hopefully we can continue our stunning away form.

Its gonna be an open game for sure...which is good for us. cus they are just behind us and all 4 can still qualify and no one can afford to lose points atm..

There's a big hole in that midfield

Left for you kez

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Personally, my team would look like this:

Cech

Bosingwa, Terry, Ivanovic, Ashley Cole

Mikel

Joe Cole, Ballack, Lampard, Kalou

Drogba

I felt like drawing up one of those team things

Orange and white looks good, new away kit maybe?

Reminds me of Blackburn's home kit...
