Krasnodar hosts Chelsea on Russian soil in a match from Group E of the Champions
League. We are going to offer you a preview of this fixture in today’s football best betting
tips.
Krasnodar started their Champions League participation with a draw. The Russian club
traveled to France and met Rennes at the Roazhon Park. They were underdogs according
to the bookies, but they managed to win a point after a 1-1 draw. The French club scored
first, but just few minutes later the Colombian midfielder Cristian Ramirez scored an
equalising goal.
Few days ago Krasnodar suffered a loss in the Russian Premier League, though. Murad
Musaev’s team hosted Spartak Moscow at home, but got defeated with 1-3. They remain
8th in the Premier League’s standings. They could really do better.
Chelsea also started their Champions League season with a draw. The Blues hosted
Europa League champions Sevilla in London, but the match ended without any goals
scored – 0-0.
The manager Frank Lampard could be making some rotations for the Wednesday match.
During the weekend Chelsea faced Manchester United in the Premier League and players
like Tammy Abraham, Hakim Ziyech, Mateo Kovacic and Olivier Giroud started from the
bench. Lampard could be picking some of them against Krasnodar on Wednesday. He
needs rotations to keep his team as fresh as possible, that’s for sure.
These are our football best betting tips for the Champions League game between

possible way to keep his team fresh and ready for action. Chelsea remain favourites, of
course.
