Chelsea Preview – Can Chelsea extend unbeaten start?
Wednesday night’s hosts, Chelsea, will head into this Matchday 4 clash with French Ligue 1 side, Rennes, in confident mood as they not only remain unbeaten in the group stage of this season’s Champions League but they also secured a valuable three points on the weekend in the Premier League with a 3-0 win away at Burnley.
An opening Matchday 1 0-0 draw with Sevilla was followed by last week’s resounding 4-0 win away from home at Russian outfit, Krasnodar, so Chelsea will be eyeing off further points to add to their group tally on Wednesday night when they host Rennes, but recent results at home at this level suggest Chelsea are by no means guaranteed the three points here.
Chelsea have managed to win just one of their last eight ties at home which was a 2-1 win over another French outfit, Lille, but five draws and two defeats indicate that the public may have over-estimated Chelsea’s chances at Stamford Bridge on Matchday 3.
Rennes Preview – Can Rennes take heart from recent win?
Although Rennes sit bottom of Group E with just one point to their name after the first two matches of the group stage in the Champions League, the visitors managed to register a morale-boosting 2-1 home win against Brest in Ligue 1 on the weekend.
Rennes began their Champions League campaign with a solid point in a 1-1 draw at home with Krasnodar but were beaten 1-0 away from home at Sevilla on Matchday 2 and they hit the road again for this Matchday 3 clash in London against Chelsea where they’ll be hoping they can stifle this Chelsea outfit.
This is Rennes’s first ever campaign in the Champions League and although they face a tough challenge on Wednesday night, the French outfit stand a decent chance of at least keeping things tight here.
