THE PREDICTION
Chelsea can take a huge step towards confirming their passage to the round of 16 with a victory here, and anything less will be a massive surprise. The goals are flowing for Thomas Tuchel’s side at the moment, despite not playing with a recognised striker, while no team has conceded more than Malmo at this stage of the competition. The Swedish outfit were outclassed in the reverse fixture at Stamford Bridge and need a lot of luck on their side if they are to contain the reigning European champions here. There isn’t much value to be had in backing a Chelsea win so opting for them to be leading at both half-time and full-time in the double result will increase the returns.
