Chelsea – AS Roma – UEFA Champions League Prediction and Preview

Preview

Chelsea – AS Roma – UEFA Champions League: 18th October 2017

Without Morata and Kante

Chelsea will not play Morata, Kante and Moses, three footballers for Conte, and Drinkwater is uncertain. Antonio Conte knows the Romanian opponent very well, so he knows what he has to do to block his side attacks. We expect Chelsea to dominate the territory, but the defensive problems could be penalized by this technical team in Rome. In the standings, the English are ranked first (6 points), while Rome is ranked second (4 points). So who wins takes an important option for winning the group, which brings an extra stake. We expect Hazard’s presence to have a major impact on the game.

Three direct matches, two “GGs”

There have been 3 direct matches between the two so far and in two of them we have successfully witnessed a winning “GG” bet. It was 2-1 for Chelsea in a friendly match in 2013 and 3-1 for AS Roma in the Champions League in 2008. Another game was won by the English home 1-0. Rome will come on Wednesday to play a perfect defensive game, so bets on goals may be risky here. In the previous round in Serie A, Rome lost home with Napoli (0-1), but Chelsea comes after a surprising failure 1-2 in the Crystal Palace move. In fact, England’s champion has two consecutive defeats and this can affect the psyche of the players. Both bands will be aligned with three center-wing systems, and Antonio Rudiger will rely on his former colleagues in Rome. It will be a duel in which the goals will be very worked!
