Chelsea vs Sevilla Prediction & Betting tips
In the Champions League Group E, the top game takes place on matchday 1: Chelsea FC receives Sevilla FC – a highly anticipated duel at eye level.
This is also made clear by a look at the bookmakers, because before the game of Chelsea vs. Seville, the odds of the best bookmakers are very even, even if the home team from London is of course slightly ahead.
An exciting and high-class game can be expected in which both teams meet at eye level – after all, they should win the group among themselves.
The top teams in the direct duel promise an exciting duel in which we expect goals above all. That’s why we favor Chelsea vs. Sevilla tip on over 2.5 goals.
Chelsea:
At the dress rehearsal before the Champions League duel with Seville at the weekend there was a late and bitter setback for the Blues: Chelsea led 2-0 and 3-2 in the home game against Southampton, but in the second minute of stoppage time the Londoners had to Accept 3: 3 equalizer goals from the guests.
The result shows once more strengths and weaknesses of Chelsea and is a fitting summary of Frank Lampard’s team: Front hui, back ugh. Chelsea can always score three goals in attack, but they are still so vulnerable at the back that they can concede three goals against any team at any time.
Significant: a Chelsea game has already ended 3: 3 twice in this season, but in the away game at West Bromwich it was Chelsea themselves who were able to mark the equalizer in stoppage time.
Nine goals conceded in just five games in the Premier League speak for themselves. In the past Premier League season, Chelsea conceded an unbelievable 54 goals – the holey defense, it is still the biggest problem area of the Blues. Frank Lampard has still not got this under control, although the CFC in Thiago Silva and Ben Chilwell have signed two defensive players who also became regulars straight away.
What will give Chelsea courage before the duel with Sevilla: In the last 14 home games in the group stage of the premier class Chelsea conceded only one defeat (nine wins, four draws). However, the Blues have a hard time with Spanish opponents. In the last nine duels with La Liga teams, there was only one victory (five draws, three defeats).
Given these numbers, Chelsea vs. Seville’s prediction of a draw between the two top teams is very lucrative.
Seville:
Sevilla started the season really well – the first setback came just at the weekend at the Andalusian derby in Granada. Here it was a narrow 0-1 defeat, Seville’s first defeat of the season. However, this came about outnumbered and through a late goal.
Here, too, Seville presented itself as a closed, hard-to-beat unit – but this time with the worse end for itself. Most recently, Sevilla impressed before the international break in the 1-1 draw at Camp Nou against FC Barcelona with high pressing and a brisk and courageous game until the final phase.
In the European Supercup against FC Bayern, Sevilla had the German triple winner on the verge of defeat and only had to admit defeat in extra time. The Andalusians are therefore not to be joked with – even if their record on English soil is ultimately not exhilarating.
Sevilla could only win one of their last seven games in England – the 2-1 victory at Old Trafford against Manchester United in the Champions League 2018. Otherwise there were three draws and three defeats – each against different English teams. Against Tottenham, Arsenal, Manchester City, Leicester, Liverpool and Bolton, Sevilla could not win in a foreign country.
