Champions League odds: Jose Mourinho won’t enjoy a winning return to Chelsea The Tipster Published September 29, 2025 1:09pm Updated September 29, 2025 1:09pm Jose Mourinho will relish his return to Stamford Bridge (Picture: Eurasia Sport Images/Getty Images) He’s back! Mourinho took over at the Eagles after previous boss Bruno Lage was sacked following a shock 3-2 Champions League defeat at home to Azerbaijan underdogs Qarabag and he has since led them to two wins and a draw in Portugal’s Primeira Liga.

Joao Pedro can send the Blues to victory against Benfica (Picture: Visionhaus/Getty Images) He will be expecting striker Vangelis Pavlidis to add to the six goals he has already scored this term, including a double which gave them a 2-1 victory over Gil Vicente on Saturday, and the Greece forward is 14/5 with Betway to score at any time against a Blues defence which has kept just two clean sheets in eight matches. Eddie Nketiah turned the tables on the Reds by thumping in the injury-time winner for the Eagles but Hugo Ekitike should return to Arne Slot’s attack after missing that match through suspension and he is 5/1 with bet365 to break the deadlock and 17/10 with BetMGM to score at any time.

If he had drained the effort he would have tied the final singles match with Robert MacIntyre and the score would have landed our bet on a 14.5/13.5 victory for Europe which was a whopping 12/1. Instead he missed and we were left to count our winnings on victory for Luke Donald’s heroes at 29/20 to triumph and 13/10 on them winning the first day.
