Chelsea is currently justifying its role as one of the favorites in the tournament and is leading the standings in the group stage after the first two rounds. They scored four goals in their two victories against Panathinaikos and Gent. Expectations are again for an easy victory now against an even more modest opponent, who should not be underestimated. Most likely Enzo Maresca will rotate his squad, which is unlikely to prevent them from winning three more points.
Noah is the only team that started from the first qualifying round of the tournament and managed to reach the group stage. They even started with a debut victory of 2-0 at home against Mlada Boleslav. Then they lost 0-1 as guests to Rapid Vienna. This was Noah's third consecutive lost visit in the tournament.
Forecast: Chelsea to win and over 2.5 goals, 1/1 first/full timeEven with an experimental lineup, Chelsea is unlikely to have much trouble against debutant Noah. However, there is no need for underestimation, but it is normal to expect a relatively easy victory for Chelsea and a third consecutive one for the team in the group stage.
