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 Roman Pavlyuchenko, a well-known former football player of Spartak Moscow, Tottenham and the Russian national team.
Thomas Tuchel's team intends to fight for trophies on several fronts this season. In the English Premier League, the Blues have so far managed to lead in the championship race, but in the Champions League they are still in second place - after a home victory over Zenit (1-0), the Londoners lost to Juventus in Turin (0:1).
Malmo looks like an obvious outsider in this quartet. The team of Jon Dahl Thomasson was first beaten on its own ground by Juventus (0:3), after which it also lost in St. Petersburg to Zenit (0:4), losing also due to the removal of Ahmedhodzic.
Roman Pavlyuchenko does not see any prerequisites for intrigue in the upcoming match. The current Malmo is not at all the equal of Chelsea in any aspect of the game. The expert expects the third consecutive defeat of the Swedes in the international arena.
