Chelsea vs Barcelona Head-to-Head Matches

Barcelona 1-2 Chelsea Barcelona 3-0 Chelsea Chelsea 1-1 Barcelona Chelsea 2-2 Barcelona Chelsea 2-2 Barcelona

Chelsea goes into this game with a good amount of confidence as the games have been very evenly matched when these 2 sides have faced each other previously. The only issue that Chelsea faces is the fact that the only win that they have gotten over Barcelona in the last 5 meetings between the 2 clubs was in a friendly. Therefore, they haven’t beaten Barcelona in a competitive match in the last 5 games. However, both teams have drastically changed since they last faced each other 6 years ago.

Barcelona go into this game having failed to beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the last 3 games. This could damage their confidence a bit as it seems like Chelsea has found a bit of a fortress against Barcelona when playing at home. However, while they have failed to win, they have also not lost when playing Chelsea at home in the last 3 games and have scored in every game they have played there. That will give them some confidence that they will be able to score and push for a result this year.

Previous 5 Chelsea and Barcelona Match Analysis

Chelsea’s previous 5 matches: Chelsea 1-2 Sunderland (H) Premier League Wolves 3-4 Chelsea (A) EFL Cup Tottenham 0-1 Chelsea (A) Premier League Qarabag 2-2 Chelsea (A) UEFA Champions League Chelsea 3-0 Wolves (H) Premier League

Chelsea has managed to find some form; however, they have been inconsistent. They have struggled to keep a run of winning games together for longer than 2 matches. However, one thing that they have kept consistent is the ability to score, having scored 11 goals in the last 5 games. This will give them confidence that no matter what they will have a good chance being able to score no matter who they are facing. However, they have struggled to stop goals from going in, they have seemed to fix it a bit in the last 2 league games, however, conceding 7 goals in the last 5 can knock a bit of confidence away from you.

Barcelona’s previous 5 matches: Barcelona 6-1 Olympiacos (H) UEFA Champions League Real Madrid 2-1 Barcelona (A) LaLiga Barcelona 3-1 Elche (H) LaLiga Club Brugge 3-3 Barcelona (A) UEFA Champions League Celta Vigo 2-4 Barcelona (A) LaLiga

Barcelona have also struggled to have a good run of form failing to get 2 consecutive wins in the last 5 matches. However, they have been even better going forward then Chelsea having scored 17 goals in the last 5 matches. This will definitely give them confidence they will be able to score at least 1 against this Chelsea defence. However, they have also conceded more goals than Chelsea and failed to keep a clean sheet in the last 5 matches. This could cause issues especially with the ability Chelsea has going forward. The other issue they could face is the struggles they’ve had when playing away from home, having played 3 games and only walking away with a single win away from home.
