Chelsea vs Middlesbrough prediction: the best Balón Latino options
Gana Chelsea
Chelsea are forced to win and, in their own home, Stamford Bridge, it could make things difficult for Middlesbrough, accustomed to more modest settings.
Less than 3.5 goals
As could already be seen in the first leg, Middlesbrough once again brought out the worst in Chelsea and in this match, having a chance to advance, they will try to reduce the score as much as possible. On Chelsea’s part, even if they managed to find the back of the net, we do not trust that they will create a rout.
Both mark: no
In this case we hope that Chelsea achieves a correct victory, without any surprises and having learned from the mistakes of the first leg. After all, Middlesbrough does not have an offensive arsenal and a second consecutive game scoring against Chelsea would be extraordinary.

Analysis and latest news from Chelsea
Chelsea had a more than unfortunate game at the Riverside Stadium in the first leg of the EFL Cup semi-finals. Up to 18 shots and none of them got between Middlesbrough’s three posts. Pochettino’s men had to pay the price for a poor finish and were defeated in the first instance by a second division team.
There have been two consecutive games in which Chelsea have failed to score a goal in play. With a penalty scored by Cole Palmer against Fulham in their last league game, the Blues escaped with a narrow victory in another disappointing season. Even with those, Chelsea is just one point behind seventh-placed Manchester United.
