Following back-to-back defeats at the hands of Manchester City and Juventus, Chelsea responded with wins over Southampton and Brentford either side of the international break. They'll be confident of picking up a third successive victory against Malmoe FF here. A 3-0 win at Oestersunds at the weekend was Malmoe's fourth in their last six in all competitions. However, across their last 11 matches, they have failed to win seven, so the Swedish side will be hoping they are now fully over their dip in form. A trip to Stamford Bridge is hardly ideal at this stage. The Blues should make light work of their Swedish counterparts on home turf. 3:0
There have been under 2.5 goals scored in Chelsea's last 10 games (Champions League). There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 7 of Malmoe FF's last 8 games (Champions League). Malmoe FF have lost their last 3 matches (Champions League). Malmoe FF have conceded at least 2 goals in their last 3 matches (Champions League).
Antonio Rudiger still has a back issue so misses out, and his absence could present Malang Sarr with another opportunity to start after he impressed against Brentford on Saturday evening. Christian Pulisic is also ruled out, but Thiago Silva is expected to return to the side after missing the 1-0 win in west London. Anel Ahmedhodzic is suspended after his red against Zenit last time out, with Niklas Moisander expected to deputise. Patriot Sejdiu, Ola Toivonen, Jonas Knudsen and Oscar Lewicki are all ruled out due to injury.
