Champions League betting and spectator preview: Chelsea and Rennes meet at Stamford Bridge to measure strength and learn who makes it to the next stage.
It's no vacation for neither Chelsea nor Rennes as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Chelsea form and stats
Chelsea participated in Champions League the last season, where they reached the 8th finals and lost against Bayern München.Chelsea have collected 4 points from their Premier League home games so far after 1-1-1.
Chelsea are confident in defense, having played 180 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
A good away victory last time out for Chelsea, who won 3-0 against Burnley. Before that match, a Champions League win away at Krasnodar.
Chelsea are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found twelve matches and the win/draw/lost stats: Won nine, drew two and lost one.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Sheffield United are coming to town in three days.
The Chelsea manager F. Lampard has got the team scoring with 7 from 3 home games in the league. Chelsea have conceded 5 from these games.
Rennes form and stats
They also participated in Europa League last season. This ended in the group stage.2-2-0 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Rennes in their Ligue 1 matches away.
Nayef Aguerd and Damien Da Silva scored in Rennes's previous match, the home game against Brest that ended 2-1. A 0-1 defeat away at Sevilla before that.
We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Rennes played away with similar odds. This revealed two games. The visitors overcame the odds to win zero times, zero were draws and the home team won as expected two times.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Rennes manager J. Stéphan as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Paris Saint Germain.
Rennes have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 9 goals from 4 away matches. Rennes have conceded 4 goals in these away matches.
