Obviously both sides have destructive players. Bremen played it tight in London and still conceded two against Chelsea. No point in them sitting back tonight as eventually they will surely get picked off by Barca at some point. So, I predict a open game with plenty of chances for both sides, and hopefully goals.

Chelsea is waited for an easy match in bulgarian ground, but I think that the match will be more hard than general previews: Levski has shown, in their european appearance, a good organization at home ground, based over a solid modul (4-5-1) with one only advanced man and well closed in the middle.
Clearly the trash of the first day (lost against Barcelona by 5-0) left many doubts about their consistence, more I have the chance to watch for them to play both matches of preliminar round faced Chievo Verona and they didn't impressed so much more than I knew about them (good match at home won by 2-0; but a lot of troubles, in outfield, even in advantage of a double advantage against a team that in italian Serie A is struggling so much to get points: FT 2-2).
Levski will miss in attack line Domovchiiski (out for injurie), more the natural replacement E.Angelov is not in the best fit conditions.
Probable line-up:
Petkov; Milanov, Topuzakov, Tomasic, Wagner; Borimirov, Richard
Telkiiski, Bardon, S.Angelov; Yovov.
About Chelsea I can add really a few words than the common people know about the english side.
They are standing already in good condition, taking, just in the last round, the top of the Premier league and, aout CHL, I guess that they will not loose any point on the road, waiting for the big fight against Barcelona.
Chelsea to start witn an offensive attack line (Shevchenko-Drogba-Robben), more Essien-Lampard-Ballack in the middle.
I don't think that Levski can stop Chelsea, probable they can limit the opponents if they will resist for the first half, but Chelsea has learnt that has many champs in field to solve the games with one shot.
No Handicap here, eastern eurpoean fields often are unknown to the big scenario.

AFC Champions League , Its the semi final , I have to say here , Al Karamah from Syria was the sweet surprise of this year , I saw them in all thier games in this AFC home and away , they are the ones you cant beat at home infront of thier hard ground , massive home fance , this 40,000 put the pressure on the visitors and on the ref as well , and give this big extra power to thier players . I even can descripe thier hrad ground like when you go and play in Korea or Japan , thier style is very fast , and you can see this last week when they beat the Suadi team Al Ittihad 4-0 !!!!!!!!!!! big and massive surprise to all Asia . and Im saying again and again this wont happen at least in the next ten years in Asia . Al Quadsia as well they managed to make another big surprise in UAE when they destroyed Al Ain infront of thier fans 3-0 . Al Quadsia scored three Goals , but Al Ain helped them lots here , by missing easy chances to score , and that was the first lose for Al Ain in thier new ground . Al Quadsia this kind of teams can lose away 5-0 !!! and can come back with good result , that what happend for them in the first stage when they lost in Iran 6-0 and won at home 1-0 . Tomorrow game its diffrent story , Al Quadsia will miss two important players due to yellow cards , and home team will be more than ready for another big win I think . Im playing high stake on Al Karamah (SYR) team , and Im almost sure , the players wont find any better chance like this to make history . Another funny point to mention here , Al Karamah managment asked Al Quadsia managment not to bring many fans to Syria becuase they wont promiss security for them !! Kuwait FA complaind to Asian FA , but Nothing happend , very strange . Al Quadsia will find it very hard to stop Al Karamah scoring Goals. Good luck
