FK Krasnodar wants to make history on Wednesday evening! In the very first Champions League home game in the club’s history, the club, which was founded in 2008, wants to become the first Russian team to make their home game debut in the most important European club competition.

That this endeavour turns out to be by no means easy, becomes clear before the kick-off of the match between Krasnodar and Chelsea when looking at the odds. The best bookmakers offer an average of 1.47 on the away win and thus give the Blues a chance of victory of almost 70%. From the point of view of the Premier League top club, such a success would always be important, because the start did not go according to plan for the Lampard team in the previous week.

At home against Sevilla, the Londoners had to be content with a goalless draw against the reigning Europa League winners Sevilla. Also at the weekend Havertz, Werner and Co. stayed in the league routine at Manchester United without scoring their own. The Russian underdog may therefore come at exactly the right time.

The green-whites have so far only remained in one of 13 competitive games without conceding a goal and will probably have problems on Wednesday evening to get the star offensive of the English capital club under control at the highest international level. There are therefore many indications that between Krasnodar and Chelsea a prediction on a handicap bet in favour of the favourite could pay off.

Krasnodar – Statistics & Current Form

For Futbolny Klub Krasnodar, the successful qualification for the Champions League group stage was by far the greatest international success in the club’s history. The green-whites, for whom the last sixteen of the Europa League represented the maximum of happiness, earned their first participation in the main draw with two 2-1 successes in the playoffs against PAOK Saloniki.

Last week, coach Murad Musaev’s team finally celebrated its premiere in the premier class. In front of 5,000 spectators in Rennes, the underdog won a point at 1: 1 and was not dissatisfied with it afterwards. The club, which was founded only twelve years ago and is based in the northern Caucasus, made a far better impression than in the previous season on the Russian piano nobile.

In shape, Russians want the surprise

There the Musaev team lags far behind their own expectations. It wasn’t until the weekend that the Green-Whites suffered their next defeat at home against Spartak Moscow (1: 3). It was the fourth in the twelfth match. Logically, it is currently only eighth place. The front runner Spartak is already on nine points.

The biggest construction site is undoubtedly the defensive, which only achieved a single clean sheet in 13 competitive games. The last and only “Zu Null” is dated August 18th. In view of this instability in their own defence network, the anything but good form and the qualitative disadvantages, we would decide between Krasnodar and Chelsea for a tip on the Londoners.

The probable lineup of Krasnodar:
Safonov – Ramirez, Kaio, Sorokin, Petrov – Olsson, Gazinskiy – Cabella, Utkin, Smolnikov – Berg

Last matches from Krasnodar:

Chelsea – Statistics & Current Form

Things are not going completely smoothly at Chelsea FC these days and weeks. The squad, which was extremely strengthened in the summer, has yet to find its way and so far has only convinced in phases. With only two wins, three points and one defeat, the “Blues” are currently only eighth in the Premier League table.

It is all the more important for the protégés of trainer Frank Lampard to recharge their batteries and celebrate success stories in order to grow together as a community. After the disappointing 0-0 win at home against Sevilla the previous week, the first three-point should definitely be bagged with a view to the targeted goal of “group victory” on Wednesday evening.

Does Werner also break the knot internationally?

For the Londoners, among other things, the fact that they have only lost one of the last eleven away games in international competition – last season at 1: 4 in the empty Allianz Arena. In addition, the Blues hired Timo Werner, a real specialist for matches in foreign stadiums, in the summer. The German international striker scored all of his seven previous Champions League goals from a distance!

In any case, the advantages in terms of quality, the greater wealth of experience at international level and, last but not least, the increased motivation due to two consecutive zero numbers are definitely valid arguments to make a reliable prediction on the Lampard team before the duel between Krasnodar and Chelsea. In all likelihood, the coach will have to do without keeper Kepa, who will be replaced by newcomer Mendy, as on the weekend. Marcos Alonso is out due to suspension.

The probable lineup of Chelsea:
Mendy – Chilwell, Zouma, Silva, James – Jorginho, Kante – Mount, Havertz, Pulisic – Werner

10/24 2020 Manchester United 0 – 0 Chelsea London
