Chelsea eye victory at home against Videoton in 2018/19 UEFA Europa League
Kick-off : 8:00 PM (Local)
Venue : Stamford Bridge, London
Chelsea have had a good start to their 2018/19 Europa League campaign as they won their first game against Greek outfit PAOK away 1-0. This should encourage them to make further inroads in the tournament.
Now it will be a good opportunity for Chelsea to earn three more points as they play Hungarian side Videoton at home. Chelsea needs to play to their true potential and the results shall come.
The Blues will next play Belarusian club BATE Borisov in the Europa League.
On the other hand, Videoton is out their to gain experience especially in games against Chelsea. They are in a tough group and it will take some doing to get out of the group.
Videoton have a humongous task against Chelsea away and they know that but they need to give their all and leave the rest to god. Videoton lost their first game against BATE 0-2 at home.
This will be the very first time that Chelsea and Videoton play each other.
Team news and possible line-ups
Videoton have a fully fit squad for their Thursday night clash against Chelsea.
As for Chelsea, Andreas Christensen, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Pedro are all doubts.
Videoton XI : Tujvel, Juhasz, Fiola, Nego, Stopira, Huszti, Hadzic, Milanov, Kovacs, Nikolov, Scepovic.
Chelsea XI : W. Caballero, Emerson, A. Christensen, G. Cahill, D. Zappacosta, C. Fabregas, E. Ampadu, R. Barkley, V. Moses, A. Morata, Hudson-Odoi.
Prediction
I expect The Blues to dominate this game and win comfortably. They might win 4-0. The goalscorers might be Cesc Fabregas, Alvaro Morata, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ethan Ampadu.
