Krasnodar host Chelsea in the 2nd round of the Champions League in Group E at Krasnodar Stadium on Wednesday, October 28 and the game kicks off at 5.55pm (UK).
MATCH PREVIEW
First round in the Group E saw all four teams share the points and Chelsea are 3rd in their group on goal difference after a goalless home draw against Sevilla. Krasnodar are also 8th in the Russian Premier League after 12 rounds, while Chelsea are in 9th in the PL after 5 weeks. The trips to Eastern Europe are always demanding and Chelsea will hope they are not too tired after their respective Premier League match against Man Utd. Krasnodar also have a tough match against the league leaders Spartac Moscow and hopefully the quality of this tie will not be affected by it.
MATCH ANALYSIS
Krasnodar have made a stuttering start to their league season and have won just three of their last seven league matches. 2020/21 is the first time they have made it beyond the qualifying stages of the Champions League and it could prove to be a short stay in European competition. In their first group stage match ever, just three minutes after falling behind, Russian side found the equalizer when Cristian Ramirez lashed home a superb shot from the corner of the area (59'). The home team tried to get a winner with a few dangerous attacks at the death, but thanks to Safonov performing brilliantly in goal the Bulls held to the 1-1 draw. As mentioned above, Krasnodar are struggling at the start of the Russian Premier League to replicate the form of last season that earned them third place and a UCL berth. They are obvious underdogs in this group and will see a Europa League place as a massive plus.
As for Chelsea, after a summer of heavy spending, Frank Lampard’s side have endured a somewhat inconsistent start to the new season. Star players like Kai Havertz and Timo Werner are yet to truly excel, but you get the feeling it is only a matter of time, given their immense quality. Against Sevilla, they failed to score for only the second time in eight games this season, but Lampard's side at least managed a clean sheet after a much-improved performance at the back. Also, Mendy, who joined from Rennes in September, established himself as a first-choice goalkeeper as he produced excellent saves to help the Blues open their European campaign with a hard-earned point against Europa League holders Sevilla. With Group E rivals Rennes held 1-1 in France, Chelsea head to Russia next Wednesday to face Krasnodar with all four teams on one point.

Tucker grew up in London, more precisely in West London. But, unlike many locals, he doesn’t like big and famous teams from that part of the city. Instead, ever since he was a kid, Tucker was passionate for lower divisions. This passion was born when his uncle from Reading took him to the local derby with Aldershot Town when he was 6 and since that moment football was running through his veins. He became a huge fan of the Royals for life, and whenever he could, he goes to Madejski Stadium to enjoy the game. Apart from being a job, his sports knowledge also becomes more than useful when he is betting live on high stakes which is also his passion.
