Chelsea vs Krasnodar Prediction & Betting tips
The final game in the group stage of the Champions League is for Chelsea and Krasnodar. Both teams already fulfilled their duties on the last match day and made decisions. So the hosts are sure to be group winners, while Krasnodar was able to consolidate third place and is thus wintering internationally.
Before the game Chelsea vs. Krasnodar, the odds of the best bookmakers show that the Blues go into the game as favorites. The game could be interesting as both coaches have the opportunity to rotate. Given the tight schedule, this is a welcome opportunity.
Both teams want to win anyway. Not least because there is a million dollar amount for a victory in the Champions League. In addition, the Blues have a group stage without defeat in mind. The game starts on Tuesday evening at 20:00 p.m. at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea:
Chelsea are in good shape right now. Last week, Sevilla FC clinched a 4-0 win in the Champions League, and coach Lampard’s team followed suit in the Premier League at the weekend. They struggled against Leeds United for a long time, but ended up winning 3-1. Chelsea have won eight of the last nine competitive games and the trend is very positive.
The bookmakers see it that way too, because before the game Chelsea vs. Krasnodar, the betting odds speak a clear language.
The Chelsea team, who were strengthened in several positions in the summer, seem to be doing really well at the moment. The processes on the field are becoming more and more homogeneous, and many players are gradually getting into good shape. If then a striker like Giroud has a run and scores five goals in two games, such results come about.
Chelsea have always presented themselves well against Russian teams in the Champions League. In five duels there were five wins, and the first leg went to the Blues accordingly. At that time there was a 4-0 away win. Now of course the next three should follow so that the club from London can book the best group stage in history with 16 points.
But the image of the team will change. Chelsea have to replace some players, which may result in one or the other problem with the vote. Whether that will be successful can be tracked with the live score from Wettbasis.
Goals are likely to fall. Chelsea is the third best offensive of the current season in the premier class with 13 goals. In addition, with Giroud, Werner and Hudson-Odoi, three players have already scored at least twice. There are currently no injured players to complain about.
Krasnodar:
The Russians from Krasnodar are an unpleasant opponent and have so far taken four points in the Champions League. The 1-0 win against Stade Rennes last match day made it clear that Krasnodar will winter in the Europa League. Progress is no longer possible.
The dress rehearsal for the Chelsea game was won 5-0 against Rotor Volgograd at the weekend, so Krasnodar is in good shape. However, before the game Chelsea vs. Krasnodar the odds that the guests will go to London as outsiders.
And overall, the past few weeks have been a bit mixed for Krasnodar. They won against Volgograd and Tambov in the league, but coach Musaev’s team lost four of their last six national games. The consistency is missing, time and again there are slight mistakes that give the opponent opportunities.
For Krasnodar, this game is only the second game to be played in England in European competition. In 2014/15 there was a 1-0 victory against Everton in the Europa League. Like Chelsea, the guest will also think about sparing one or the other player and giving players a chance who otherwise collect little time in the Champions League.
A lot of rotation could lead to a hectic game. If the defensive processes are not correct, goal chances are often the result. It is not uncommon for the last matchday of the group stage to be played with an open visor.
In contrast to Chelsea, Krasnodar has to complain about one or the other failure. With Petrov and Stotskiy just two right-backs are missing. Otherwise all players are available.
