Prediction: 4-0
Malmo
Chelsea and Malmo face each other in a David-vs-Goliath clash at Stamford Bridge in the Champions League round 2. The Blues aim to bounce back from an unexpected loss to Juventus, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Swedish champions. Despite failing to find the net in a hard-fought 1-0 win over Brentford, Romelu Lukaku should continue to lead the line for the hosts.
Thiago Silva returns from international duty, while fellow defender Antonio Rudiger is rated doubtful. Malmo are the dominant force in the Allsvenskan, but they do not seem to be competitive at this level. Since Chelsea are a real force to be reckoned with at home, the underdogs are unlikely to grab something from the match. To make things even worse for the visitors, defender Anel Ahmedhodzic is banned for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (N Golo Kante):
Born in Paris in 1991, N’Golo Kante spent his early career playing for French minnows Boulogne and Caen, but he didn’t need a lot of time to catch the eye of high-profile clubs. The holding midfielder was on the verge of joining Marseille in the summer of 2015 when Leicester City submitted a £5.6 million for his services and he eventually signed for the King Power Stadium outfit.
Destiny appears to have played a part in the move as Kante would go on to become one of leading Premier League footballers in an unbelievable season that ended with the Foxes winning the Premiership trophy. Having deservedly been nominated for the PFA Player of the Year award, Kante would also receive the first ever call-up for the national team in March 2016, and he impressed in his first two appearances, scoring a goal in the 4-2 triumph over Russia.
A combative midfielder with an amazing pair of lungs, Kante impressed Premier League fans and pundits alike, and he will probably go down as one of the best holding midfielders to have ever played for an English club.
Highlighted Team (Malmo):
Founded on February 24, 1910, Malmo are a Swedish team that compete in Allsvenskan league. The Blues welcome their rivals at Stadion, Malmo, the venue which was opened in April, 2009. It is important to note that the stadium can hold up to 22,500 supporters of which 18,000 are seated.
Malmo are the most successful Swedish side, with the team winning their 23rd domestic trophy in 2017. The Blues finished the season seven points clear of AIK, scoring 63 goals and conceding 27 in the process. Speaking of the club’s European success, Malmo did well to make it to the European Cup final in the 1978/1979 season, but they eventually failed to win the trophy.
The Swedish side were beaten by Nottingham Forest in the title game (0-1), with Trevor John Francis scoring the only goal of the match. Malmo wear sky-blue shirts and white shorts when playing at home, whereas their away colour is black.
