Can PSG hold on to reach the Champions League semi finals?

Having won the Champions League two years back,experience is on Chelsea’s side as the Blues need to overturn a two-goal deficit at Stamford Bridge against French giants PSG,to reach the semi-finals of the tournament.
Ahead of the match on Tuesday, Jose Mourinho lamented the lack of strikers in his squad. But Chelsea are blessed with a group of talented attacking midfielder including Eden Hazard and Willian, while Samuel Eto’o could be a huge asset if he recovers in time from a hamstring injury.
Following the 3-1 loss at the Parc des Princes, not conceding will also be crucial for the west London team, who boasts an excellent defensive home record. Chelsea conceded only 9 goals in 17 Premier League home games this season and will come into the PSG match on the back of eight consecutive clean sheets at Stamford Bridge in all competitions.
The visitors have confirmed that their hitman, Zlatan Ibrahimovic will not play in the second leg due to a hamstring problem, and this should be something good for the home side who will try to score a quick goal that would give them a great advantage over PSG. One thing they seem to forget is that it wasn’t Ibrahimovic who scored the two PSG goals, which would put Lavezzi again as the front-runner for the goalscorer market. PSG have scored 25 games in this Champions League campaign but is without injured striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who has scored 10 goals in the competition this term.
PSG are unbeaten in their last 14 games, whereas Chelsea have lost 4 matches out of those 14. Both the clubs have truck loads of money and that can well be seen by the quality of players.
With the likes of Hazard, Oscar and co, Chelsea have that edge to go past PSG, but that for sure will need some hard work from the Blues. The mastermind, Jose Mourinho admits to not have a proper, prolific striker,but with Eto’o likely to start,Chelsea fans have got something to believe in.
On the other hand, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is most likely to miss this upcoming match. But then, PSG have players like Cavani and Lavezzi, who will for sure keep Petr Cech busy throughout the game.
This game is going to be a thriller for each and every football fan. And as per stats, mostly everyone would give PSG a thumbs up for qualifying for the semi-finals of the Champions League.
