Chelsea vs Lille OSC
Chelsea have not confirmed a place in the knockout phase ahead of the final match day of the Champions League group stage. In this match they will play host to France’s representative, Lille. The guest team is planned to be hosted at Stamford Bridge. Currently the Blues are ranked 3 with 8 points, the same as Valencia on it, while Ajax is topped with 10 points, leaving Lille in the protruding position which only reaped 1 point.
The problem is, Chelsea had just received the disaster on Saturday (7/12) then after a shocking collapse at Everton headquarters. The host managed to excel with a score of 3-1 through brace Dominic Calvert-Lewin (49 ‘, 84’), while the only goal was born through the efforts of Mateo Kovavic (52 ‘). These results also make Chelsea not move from position 4 EPL with a difference of three points from Man City on it.
The good news, manager Frank Lampard revealed that Antonio Rudiger will soon strengthen the team after a long absence since the summer. The German defender is expected to be able to give an instant impact because Chelsea have never won at Stamford Bridge during the Group H allowance, which is to lose to Valencia (0-1), then draw against Ajax (4-4) thanks to the help of two red cards.
From the enemy side, the Lille chart is on the rise following three consecutive wins in the Ligue 1 competition, namely against Dijon (1-0), Lyon (0-1), and Brest (1-0). Furthermore, the capital will be used to make a surprise at Stamford Bridge even though they themselves have been confirmed dead. Because, Victor Osimhen and colleagues hold a grudge due to defeat in the second week when playing at home. This visit will be the first appearance at Stamford Bridge, and facing a host who is in need of victory, Lille is also predicted to get a welcome not wearing.
