On Thursday evening, at 17:55, Chelsea finishes UEFA Europa League Group L, with a away match to the Hungarian team MOL Vidi. Qualifying from the first place in the elimination phase, the Londoners play just for the pride and have a rising share.
In the tour, Chelsea was forced to score 1-0 (Morata empty), but the data of the problem was over. Maurizio Sarri’s team is already qualified and will use more reserves in Hungary on the ground of a team that can cause problems. The hosts need a good result to continue hoping for the qualification, but they also depend on the outcome of the match between BATE and PAOK. Chelsea has 15 points (maximum), while BATE Borisov and Vidi have only 6. Because of the direct results, the Hungarians have the advantage in the event of the tie points at the end of the group.
Chelsea has won 1-0 both Europa League teams this season, and the Stamford Bridge team has made the impression that it does not force more than it needs in the face of more than just approachable opponents. Several favorites will stand on the bench or in the stands, because the English have a hard time in the Premier League. We were expecting a slow pace game, as Vidi did not excel in the offensive. We will see a prolonged pass game of the guests, and the Hungarians will try to take advantage of the few opportunities that have occurred in the offensive. But the white-blue defense is high!
In the last 6 matches played by Vidi it happened only once to score both bands, and each of their last 5 games in the Europa League had less than three scored goals. If he misses the goal, Chelsea will score a personal defensive record in the UEL group stage, and Sarri’s reserves will definitely want to show his value. Vidi lost the Ujpest championship match (0-2) in preparation for the Chelsea duel, while the Londoners come after a huge success: 2-0 with Manchester City.
PREDICTION: Chelsea to win @ 1.68
