After their defeat at home to Valencia in their Champions League opener, then the particular trip to Lille looks totally crucial for Chelsea — especially considering they have a double-header contrary to Ajax.
This trip to France could prove tricky, although it was seen if the Blues end up ruing Ross Barkley’s missed penalty.
Lille were given a little bit of a football lesson by Ajax in their first match, falling 3-0, but they have not done on the road domestically either–bringing just two points from their four Ligue 1 off games–but at home they seem very strong.
Les Dogues have won four of the home matches–scoring at least every time–although Chelsea have bagged eight goals in their past two on the road against Norwich and sailors.
Ultimately (despite keeping a clean sheet against Brighton), Chelsea still look suspect at the rear, and at Stade Pierre-Mauroy I will watch little to separate the two sides.
Lille are strong in your home, Chelsea are likely the side that is stronger, thus a draw at 11/4 is surely the play with the best value.
If you want value, backing 1-1 since the score looks a bet that is strong.
While Chelsea have not struggled in front of target in recent months, Lille have only conceded twice at home this campaign, and the high-stakes temperament of the match (with both sides now pointless in an already-tough group), implies a certain amount of circumspection is necessary.
A draw will mean either side live to fight another day.
