As we enter into the final matchday of the Champions League group stage, group leaders Chelsea face Krasnodar at Stamford Bridge. Both teams have nothing to lose as Chelsea have qualified for the knockouts and Krasnodar are sure to qualify for the Europa league. Thus Lampard will rest most of his starting eleven ahead of the hectic Christmas schedule and will field the same eleven that started against Sevilla. Lampard did announce that Kepa will start and we also expect Tammy to start while Hudson Odoi will miss out due to injury
Our betting predictions for Chelsea FC vs Krasnodar match are:
Chelsea FC vs Krasnodar Betting Tips
Safe Bets
• Chelsea have finally gained the form both offensively and defensively with their star studded lineup. Tammy should start this game after Giroud started two consecutive games and also an upcoming tough fixture against Everton. Looking at Chelsea’s goal scoring form, betting on Tammy to get on the scoresheet with atleast 1 goal at odds of 1.85 (Wlliam Hill) can be a considered a very safe bet. For even safer returns we suggest betting on Tammy getting over 1 shot on target at odds of 2.0 (WilliamHill).
• Another player we can bank on to score against Krasnodar is Christian Pulisic and we suggest betting on him to get atleast 1 goal at odds of 1.95. He came of the bench against Leeds and should therefore start this game.
• Recently, Chelsea have been very strong defensively with 8 clean sheets out of 10 games before the 3-1 result against Leeds. Kepa has looked good in training and we predict the team to keep a clean sheet at odds of 2.0 (betway)
Quick Rich
Betting on the result is always a good way to earn big. We predict the scoreline to end 2-0 in favour of Chelsea. This can be a good bet at odds of 7.0 (betway). Chelsea’s bench is also strong enough to beat Krasnodar who have not been in good form lately barring their one win against Rennes. They have fallen to 9th in the Russian league table.
Win/Lose/Draw
Chelsea are clear favourites to win this match and betting on any other result would be futile. They are now on an unbeaten streak of 13 games which includes 4 wins and 1 draw in 5 UCL games and it seems tough to stop them especially for Krasnodar who haven’t been I great form. They will surely go for a record 16 points in the group stage. We suggest betting on a Chelsea win at odds of 1.28. (betway)
Bet During the Match
Oliver Giroud has been in an impressive form scoring 5 goals in his last 2 games. It looks tough to stop him from finding the back of the net and if he starts the game, we predict him to score atleast 2 goals which is a a good bet at odds of 5.00 (Betway).
Krasnodar Form: WLLWW
Chelsea Form: WWDWW
