Sevilla have traveled here for an interesting Champions League fight against Chelsea. Prepare for the match with this cup preview!

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Chelsea and Sevilla.

These teams have little in common geographically as Sevilla have to travel 2100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Chelsea form and stats

Chelsea participated in Champions League the last season, where they reached the 8th finals and lost against Bayern München.

When playing at home in the Premier League, Chelsea have managed 1 win, 1 draw and suffered 1 defeat from 3 games.

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Chelsea, who played 3-3 against Southampton. That match was also played at this venue (Stamford Bridge). Before that, Chelsea had a Premier League home game versus Crystal Palace which ended with a victory 4-0.

A disappointing finish for Chelsea in their match versus Southampton as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 3-3 full time score. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Chelsea handle that role? We have found six games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are three wins, one draw and two defeats.

The manager F. Lampard will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Manchester United in only four days.

The Chelsea manager F. Lampard has got the team scoring with 7 from 3 home games in the league. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 5 goals have been conceded.

Sevilla form and stats

Sevilla's mission in Europa League last season failed in the 16th finals.

Things could have gone better for Sevilla in their La Liga away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.

There might be some fixture complaints from Sevilla as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the La Liga match against Granada (0-1). A 1-1 draw at Barcelona's stadium before that.

We have checked recent matches where Sevilla have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those four games were zero victories, four draws and zero defeats.

After this away game Sevilla return home for a La Liga game against Eibar. That game is only four sleeps after this.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Sevilla have scored 4 goals in 3 league games away. As opposed to that, Sevilla have seen the ball go into their own net 3 times on the road.
