When And Where Is The Match

The match between Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain will be played on Tuesday, March 17, 2026 at 4:00 PM ET at Stamford Bridge in London, with Slovenian referee Slavko Vincic in charge.

Chelsea Preview

The English side comes into this match in a difficult moment after a 1-0 loss to Newcastle in the Premier League, adding to the heavy defeat suffered in the first leg at the Parc des Princes.

Liam Rosenior’s team is not in the best emotional shape, but Chelsea’s European pedigree and experience in big nights keep their hopes alive for a comeback that, while difficult, cannot be completely ruled out.

PSG Preview

Paris Saint-Germain arrives in a completely different situation. The French side had nearly a full week of rest after their match against Nantes in Ligue 1 was postponed, allowing them to prepare calmly for this clash.

The dressing room led by Luis Enrique is full of confidence. The Spanish manager made it clear during the week: even if they are not playing their best football, they remain a team that commands respect across Europe.

Key Players

For Chelsea, the spotlight will be on Joao Pedro, an attacker known for his movement, link-up play, and ability to create danger in the final third. In a match where goals are essential, his creativity and finishing will be crucial to spark a comeback.

On the PSG side, all eyes will be on Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who scored a brace in the first leg and has become the main attacking reference for the Parisian side. His pace, dribbling, and ability to deliver in key moments make him the biggest threat to the Chelsea defense.

Final Prediction

Bookmakers see Chelsea as a slight favorite to win the match, but when it comes to qualification, the consensus is clear: PSG is expected to advance.

Chelsea needs a three-goal win to force extra time and four goals to qualify directly, while PSG can afford to lose by up to two goals and still move on to the next round.
