Chelsea News and Form
The Blues are running along in undefeated form for the season and picked up a good point at home against Liverpool in the Premier League over the weekend. No doubt they won’t have their full strength side out. On match day one they made a trip to Greece to face PAOK and took a 1-0 win there. Job done and that’s about all that can be said about it. On home soil, they will probably be able to secure a bit stronger of a scoreline and a Chelsea 3-0 correct score is at 5/1 odds* (Betting Odds were taken from October 1st, 2018 at 6:56 p.m.).
This is Chelsea’s first ever group stage campaign in the competition. Back in the 2013 season after dropping to the competition from the Champions League they won all three home games 3-1. They haven’t actually won at home in Europe though since their opening home match of last season’s’ Champions League (D3). They are on an eleven match undefeated home streak in Europe (W8 D3).
MOL Vidi News and Form
Hungarian champions Vidi almost made it to the Champions League for the first time but fell in the playoffs against AEK Athens. This is their second appearance in the group stage of the Europa League, losing all three away fixtures back in the 2012/13 season. They have won just two of their nine European games played this season, but have drawn all four of their away games. In their last 23 road trips in European competition, Vidi have posted a poor W3 D10 L10 return. Chelsea to win to nil is at 8/13 odds* (Betting Odds were taken from October 1st, 2018 at 6:56 p.m.). Vidi lost 2-0 at home to Bate Borisov on matchday one.
