Chelsea will host Milan in one of the most interesting matches of the Champions League group stage 3rd round. The home side still searches for the first win in the competition, while the visitors want to remain undefeated in the Champions League.
Chelsea Preview & Team News
Chelsea fans will want a repeat of their previous result, the 2-1 Premier League success against Crystal Palace. That win saw the Blues advancing to the 5th spot, being one point ahead of Manchester United. It has been seldom in recent games where Chelsea has managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The reality is that Chelsea has been scored against in 6 of their previous six matches, giving up seven goals on the way. They need to tighten up their backline to secure a positive result here and get closer to the top two places. The Chelsea boss Graham Potter has zero fitness concerns at all before this match with a completely injury-free squad ready to go.
Milan Preview & Team News
Milan will come into the meeting following on from a 1-3 Serie A win with the defeat of Empoli in their previous outing. Despite their rivals equalizing in the stoppage time, Rossoneri managed to score a brace and secure all three points. Milan is now 4th in Serie A, while they lead the standings in the Champions League Group E. Showing their partiality to productive encounters, we’ve had goals 21 times in the last six games in which Milan have sent out their troops, making it an average of 3.5 goals for each meeting. Their opponents have hit 8 of these goals. Another success could make Milan much closer to the knockout stage.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Chelsea hasn’t been impressive lately, and the Blues have been struggling in the past few games. On the other hand, Milan hasn’t lost on the road this season, and we think they will extend that run after this match.
Goals Market Prediction
Neither team managed to keep a clean sheet in Milan’s last six matches, while Chelsea has also been involved in many high-scoring games. Therefore, we think both teams will find the back of the opponent’s net on Wednesday evening.
