The English team starts as a favorite to win the match, since it has better players in all areas of the field. For that reason and even when the substitutes play, we believe that the bet “Chelsea will score in the first half” is interesting to bet. Remember that the Belarusians are not reliable in defense, being possible that they fail to score and that they are not as uncomfortable to overcome as Videoton. He paints to be a duel favorable to the “Blues” due to his greater individual hierarchy and because they will generate chances thanks to the good work of Sarri.

Of course, has recorded 3 points of 6 possible in this group start. First hit and beat 0-2 Videoton of Hungary, then fell brutally at home to the PAOK of Greece (0-3 in the initial stage and 1-4 after the final whistle).
