KRASNODAR VS CHELSEA PREDICTION
Krasnodar did well to claim a point on matchday one against Rennes but they return home now and will be fired up to face this Chelsea side. Their form in the Russian Premier League has been somewhat up and down but they are fully focused on this Champions League adventure so they will be desperate to get something here. Frank Lampard’s men have been involved in three consecutive draws now and the last two have been goalless as they have switched back to three central defenders. There is a chance that they revert to a flat back four here although that remains to be seen, but they are clearly struggling to get the right balance in the way they are playing at the moment. After draws against Sevilla and Man Utd, they will fancy their chances of getting back to winning ways here and they should have the individual quality to get all three points.
