Krasnodar Preview – Can Krasnodar push on at home?
Russian hosts, Krasnodar, earned a decent point away from home in last week’s Matchday 1 tussle in France where they held Rennes to a 1-1 draw and they’ll now be returning to their Stadion FK Krasnodar for this upcoming clash against Chelsea, looking to pull away from their rivals in Group E.
It’s all square in Group E as Chelsea and Sevilla also shared the spoils and took a point apiece in a 0-0 draw at Stamford Bridge, but Krasnodar head into this encounter having won just one of their last four matches in all competitions.
A 3-1 home win against Rubin Kazan in the Russian Premier League has been the host’s only highlight in recent times as they’ve slipped to defeats against Dinamo Moscow and Spartak Moscow in the domestic top flight, the latter being a 3-1 loss at home – and in their very limited exposure to Champions League football, Krasnodar have lost two of their three home ties to date.
Chelsea Preview – Can Chelsea get anything in Russia?
Chelsea will be in quietly confident mood that they can get the better of their Russian hosts as the visitors have lost just one of their last seven matches in all competitions, which came in the shape of a penalty loss to Tottenham in the League Cup.
Within this period, Frank Lampard’s side have picked up Premier League wins against Burnley and Crystal Palace as well as picking up recent points in draws with Southampton and Manchester United, while losing just twice in their last eight ties overall in the Champions League (home and away to Bayern Munich).
Last season, Chelsea picked up wins on the road at Lille and Ajax in 2-1 and 1-0 wins respectively along with a 2-2 draw at Valencia, and they now possess a very dangerous striker in the shape of Timo Werner who has scored 13 goals in 29 Champions League appearances.
