Chelsea will have to be at their best to progress to the quarter finals of the Champions League as they clash with Barcelona.

The first meeting of the two European heavyweights sees two of the world's best players face off as Eden Hazard and Lionel Messi go head-to-head and dabblebet have a special market lined up.

All customers can bet on how many goals the two players will score combined in the first leg, with three or more priced at a tempting 12/1 (13.0) by the online bookmaker.

This isn't a new customer offer and is available to all players regardless of if they already have a dabblebet account or not. There is no requirement for both players to score, so if either one was to net a hat-trick then the 12/1 (13.0) would be paid out as a winner regardless.

No goals is priced at 13/8 (2.63), one goal is 15/8 (2.88) and exactly two goals is available at 5/2 (3.50).

The home side have a battle on their hands to secure a top four finish in the Premier League, but Hazard has been a shining light in their recent performances. The Belgian international already has 11 goals in the competition this season and another three on the European stage.

The 27-year-old, who has been linked with a move to Real Madrid in recent days, has three goals in his previous two appearances and five in his last six overall. If Chelsea are to ensure they remain in the tie for the second leg, then they'll need Hazard to continue his excellent recent run in front of goal.

Messi on the other hand, already has 20 La Liga goals to his name this term and also has three in the Champions League so far. Leading the domestic scoring charts in Spain, a Blues defence that conceded seven times in games against Bournemouth and Watford recently could be in for another long evening against one of the best players in the world.

With so much goal scoring firepower on display, it would be no surprise to see the two superstars come to the fore in this clash and the opportunity to back Messi and Hazard to combine for three or more goals certainly makes plenty of appeal at a huge price of 12/1 (13.0).
