The PSG v Chelsea Champions League Round of 16 betting odds were available at Skybook.
Chelsea and Paris St. Germain were both listed at 7/4 odds while the Draw was coming in at 9/4. Not surprising, Chelsea was seeing half the betting action.
This is the second time that Paris SG and Chelsea meet in the knockout stages of the Champions League. Last year, the Blues edged out the Parisians on away goals in the quarter finals.
They also met in the group stages in 2004/05, with Chelsea winning 3-0 at the Parc des Princes and both sides playing out a goalless draw at Stamford Bridge. PSG have failed to score in three of their four encounters with Chelsea.
Paris SG have reached the knockout stages of the Champions League for the third consecutive season, their best ever run. They were eventually knocked out in the quarter finals in the last two campaigns.
Paris SG have only lost one of their last eight Champions League knockout games (W4 D3), it was against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in April 2014 (0-2).
Paris SG are unbeaten in their last 32 home games in European competition (W22 D10), longest ever run for a French club. Their last defeat was against Hapoel Tel Aviv in the group stages of the UEFA Cup back in November 2006.
Chelsea have reached the knockout stages of the Champions League for the 11th time in the last 12 seasons.
José Mourinho has only lost one of his 15 Champions League games against French clubs (W11 D3). It was at the Parc des Princes against Paris SG last season (1-3).
