Jamie O’Hara has made his early prediction ahead of Chelsea’s clash against Borussia Dortmund next week in the Champions League.
First of all, Chelsea play at home to Leeds United this Saturday in an important Premier League fixture.
Afterwards, the Blues welcome Dortmund to Stamford Bridge next Tuesday night in the Champions League.
Graham Potter’s side lost 1-0 against the German club in the first leg of the last-16 tie, with Karim Adeyemi scoring on the counter-attack.
Despite Chelsea’s extremely poor form, they should take some positives from the fact they played some really eye-catching football out in Germany.
TalkSPORT pundit O’Hara is predicting that Chelsea will bow out of Europe next week when they face Dortmund. He adds Potter’s time as the Blues head coach may be up, too.
“I think his time’s up, I really do,” O’Hara told talkSPORT.
“I think they’re going to get knocked out by Borussia Dortmund, they’ve got Leeds coming up and then they’ve got Dortmund.
“I think they lose against them and go out of the Champions League and I think he’s gonna get the sack.”
Of course, Chelsea’s immediate focus will be on the Leeds game that feels enormous.
The team have one victory in their last nine Premier League matches, so the pressure going into the Leeds fixture is huge from the supporters.
However, there’s surely one eye on the Dortmund tie as well.
The Champions League competition is the only trophy Chelsea are still left competing for this season, which is why it’s going to be a tedious next few months if they are eliminated in the last 16.
