Chelsea - Qarabag

Chelsea returns to the Champions League, starting their campaign against Azerbaijdan’s Qarabag in a first game from Group C of the competition. Let us give you our soccer betting predictions for this clash in England’s capital London.

After spending one year out of the Champions League, Chelsea return to the competition they have won in 2012. Last season Antonio Conte’s team won the Premier League, so now their ambitions are even higher - winning the Champions League as well. Conte is one of the most decorated managers in European football, but he has never won the Champions League. Can he finally do it with Chelsea?

This is a very tough group. Except Chelsea and Qarabag, we find here teams like Atletico Madrid and Roma. This means that the fight for the first two places in the group is going to be absolutely furious. Chelsea, Atletico and Roma will try to qualify for the next phase of the tournament, but one of them will finish its campaign with dissapointment. As for Qarabag, it would be shocking if they don’t finish on fourth place in this company.

Chelsea and Antonio Conte know very well that this group is tough, so they are aware that they don’t have the right to make a mistake in this game. Every point lost in this group could be fatal for their ambitions to qualify for the knockout phase. That’s why we expect to see them taking this game very seriously and win it in a confident way. Qarabag on the other hand would celebrate every point they could possibly win against teams of this calibre.

These are our soccer betting predictions for the clash between Chelsea and Qarabag at the Stamford Bridge in London. It’s clear who the heavy favourite is - Chelsea. It would be a pure shock if they don’t win this one.
