On October 20, the match of the third round of the Champions League group stage will take place, in which English Chelsea will play at home with Swedish Malmo. The forecast for this match is given by the famous commentator Roman Gutzeit.
The Swedes were defeated in St. Petersburg by Zenit in the last round (0:4), seriously complicating their prospects in the fight for the European Cup spring. Although in this match we should rather start more from Chelsea. If we recall the first round, the Londoners played lazily enough for most of the match with Zenit, winning only minimally, scoring the only goal closer to the end. There is no doubt that Thomas Tuchel will have a rotation in this match – the intense struggle for the title in the Premier League takes a lot of energy, which was confirmed by the match against Brentford (1-0) last weekend.
Roman Gutzeit "believes" that Chelsea will play according to a proven scheme, systematically exhausting the opponent in the first half, and squeezing him after the break. Malmo need to fight desperately for points in the current situation. But the class of these rivals is still incomparable. Nevertheless, the expert recommends not to guess with what difference Chelsea will win this match, but to bet that the second half will be more effective than the first.
