    UEFA Europa League Final - Benfica vs Chelsea

    Thoughts on this one? Over 2,5 looking tempting @ 2.15 / +115.

    Im leaning toward Chelsea (+130), however Benefica & Draw look interesting @ +215, & +230 respectively. Have Benefica lost there heart from recent let downs? Perhaps they give up enuff fight to draw... Anybody with insight on this one?

    Chelsea +130 looks very good considering Benfica managed to lose the title the last minute of their game against Porto after a almost perfect season, and Chelsea managed to secure a CL spot when they beat Villa away from home, no doubt which team has more confidence going into tonights game.

    Hazard will not play due to injury.

    I'm playing Chelsea with this thinking. Also Benitez is an excellent European manager, with experience in winning both the Europa League and Champions League.
    I would like Terry to play in this game as I think Chelsea's approach will be to stifle Benfica's attack, which is their main weapon. Chelsea are a better balanced team imo. Hazard is a great player and will be missed, but Chelsea's main attacking threat is still Mata. As long as he's playing then I am happy to put money behind them.

    Terry's a fighter and he normally plays when he's a doubt, especially in big games like this. He famously missed out on the CL final last year and will not want to miss out tonight.

    After 6 missed European Finals could this be the one? Could they break the curse after soo many times?

    The article states that the he said the curse because of a pay rise, but there's another story that states that he was promised a statue in front of the stadium, that wasn't done, hence the curse.

    I like Chelsea a lot here, but this isn't a done deal. Benfica are a good side well capable of scoring several goals tonight.

    Terry is the 4th choice defender now, at least under Rafa. Luiz, Cahill and Ivanovic ahead in the pecking.

    Would have done it without a doubt if Hazard was in the lineup, but without him I'm not so sure.

    Draw is regulation only, goes extra time if needed to decide a winner.

    What do you mean "home squad" ?????? This is played on Neutral ground (Amsterdam) and i'm not a chelsea fan or a fan of any premier league club for that matter but i think you're backing the wrong side! but then again that's just my opinion and i might be wrong! we'll see but i still think you're backing the wrong side

    Benfica looking like a much better team than Chelsea at the moment, playing with a lot of confidence.
