Chelsea v Barcelona Goalscorer Preview: Suarez hungry for success at Stamford Bridge

Stamford Bridge hosts a fascinating Champions League last 16 first leg on Tuesday evening as Chelsea face Barcelona.

The Blaugrana may currently be the top scorers in La Liga by some distance but in the Champions League they have been far from prolific, netting just nine times in the six matches they have played so far. 

Strikes for Messi and Suarez?

Lionel Messi has scored three of those nine goals and the Argentine will be desperate to break his duck against Chelsea, having never netted against the Londoners in eight matches against them.

Nevertheless, he is still the shortest priced player to score in bet365's market at 5/6 (1.83).

Luis Suarez meanwhile is yet to score in this season's Champions League, but his current run of scoring form means there is every chance he could change that in west London.

The Uruguayan has found the back of the 12 times in his last 11 La Liga matches and is priced at a tempting 6/5 (2.20) to score at Stamford Bridge.

Morata keen to shine

Alvaro Morata never scored against Barcelona during his time with Real Madrid, but he did net against them in the 2015 Champions League final for Juventus.

The Spaniard is offered at 13/8 (2.62) to do so for Antonio Conte's men and break a barren run of eight matches without a goal.

Hazard in the goals

It is Eden Hazard who is Chelsea's top scorer in the competition with three goals, and the Belgian is priced at 2/1 (3.00) to add to that tally.

Pedro is offered at 7/2 (4.50) to net against the club for whom he made over 300 appearances, while Andres Iniesta can backed at 8/1 (9.00) to score once more at Stamford Bridge - as he memorably did in 2009.

Price correct at time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.
