An exciting and high-class game can be expected in which both teams meet at eye level – after all, they should win the group among themselves.

Chelsea – Statistics & current form

At the dress rehearsal before the Champions League duel with Seville at the weekend, there was a late and bitter setback for the Blues: Chelsea led 2-0 and 3-2 in the home game against Southampton, but in the second minute of stoppage time the Londoners had to Accept 3: 3 draw goals from the guests.

The result shows once more strengths and weaknesses of Chelsea and is a fitting summary of Frank Lampard’s team: Front hui, back ugh. Chelsea can always score three goals in attack, but they are still so vulnerable at the back that they can concede three goals against any team at any time.

Significant: a Chelsea game has already ended 3: 3 twice in this season, but in the away game at West Bromwich, it was Chelsea themselves who were able to mark the equalizer in stoppage time.

Nine goals conceded in just five games in the Premier League speak for themselves. In the past Premier League season, Chelsea conceded an unbelievable 54 goals – the holey defence, it is still the biggest problem area of ​​the Blues. Frank Lampard has still not got this under control, although the CFC in Thiago Silva and Ben Chilwell have signed two defensive players who also became regulars straight away.

Chelsea struggled against Spaniards

What will give Chelsea courage before the duel with Sevilla: In the last 14 home games in the group stage of the premier class Chelsea conceded only one defeat (nine wins, four draws). However, the Blues have a hard time with Spanish opponents. In the last nine duels with La Liga teams, there was only one victory (five draws, three defeats).

Given these numbers, Chelsea vs. Sevilla prediction of a draw between the two top teams is very lucrative.

The probable lineup of Chelsea:
➤ Kepa – Azpilicueta, Silva, Zouma, Chilwell – Jorginho, Kante – Pulisic, Havertz, Werner – Abraham

Sevilla – Statistics & current form

Sevilla started the season really well – the first setback came just at the weekend at the Andalusian derby in Granada. Here it was a narrow 0-1 defeat, Seville’s first defeat of the season. However, this came about outnumbered and through a late goal.

Sevilla presents itself as a unit

Here, too, Sevilla presented itself as a closed, hard-to-beat unit – but this time with the worse end for itself. Most recently, Sevilla impressed before the international break in the 1-1 draw at Camp Nou against FC Barcelona with high pressing and a brisk and courageous game until the final phase.

In the European Supercup against FC Bayern, Sevilla had the German triple winner on the verge of defeat and only had to admit defeat in extra time. The Andalusians are therefore not to be joked with – even if their record on English soil is ultimately not exhilarating.

Meagre record against English clubs

Sevilla could only win one of their last seven games in England – the 2-1 victory at Old Trafford against Manchester United in the Champions League 2018. Otherwise there were three draws and three defeats – each against different English teams. Against Tottenham, Arsenal, Manchester City, Leicester, Liverpool and Bolton, Sevilla could not win in a foreign country.

Anyone who thinks that will change on Tuesday evening at Stamford Bridge will find before Chelsea vs. Sevilla betting odds of around 3.70 on the tip away win. In view of Chelsea’s defensive weakness, these are lucrative offers that should be worth using.

Probable lineup of Sevilla:
➤ Bono – Navas, Diego Carlos, Gomez, Acuña – Fernando, Jordan, Rakitic – Suso, de Jong, Ocampos

Chelsea vs Sevilla – Direct comparison / H2H balance

Although Chelsea and Sevilla have played almost consistently in Europe, especially in the last few years, be it in the Champions League or Europa League, it is surprisingly the first European duel between the two teams.

After all, Sevilla coach Julen Lopetegui has twice experienced Chelsea, once he won, once it was a defeat. His Sevillanos have recently had good experiences with games against English teams, as there have been three important victories in a row: In the round of 16 of the Champions League 2018 they won against Manchester United, before they won against last season in the Europa League on the way to the title who gave Wolverhampton Wanderers in the quarterfinals and again against Man United in the semifinals.
