Chelsea look for three points away against Lille in 2019/20 UEFA Champions League

Chelsea will play Lille on Wednesday in 2019/20 UEFA Champions League as the season moves ahead. The Blues go into this game as the favourites.

Kick-off : 9:00 PM (Local)

Venue : Stade Pierre-Mauroy, Lille

Chelsea have had a disastrous start to their 2019/20 UEFA Champions League campaign after loosing at home to Valencia. But they can now get back on track with a trip away to Lille.

The Blues know it will be a tricky game and they have to give their all to take maximum points. Chelsea have a tough group.

Defensive errors need not happen in Lille as it could harm the ambitions instead a good game for the forwards is required. Chelsea fans need it.

On the other hand, Lille themselves had a poor start to their UCL campaign loosing to Ajax heavily. They too would be eager to get back on track howsoever hard it might be.

Lille play Chelsea, so a good high standard soccer game but will their be complete satisfaction for Lille, that’s the question.

Lille know they will have to be proactive against The Blues in all departments and the added pressure of home. good luck to them in their endeavours.

Team news and possible line-ups

Gabriel is available for Lille for the Chelsea game and will likely get a place in the starting XI.

As for The Blues, N’Golo Kante is a doubt.

Lille XI : Maignan, Celik, Fonte, Gabriel, Bradaric, Andre, Soumare, Araujo, Ikone, Bamba, Osimhen.

Chelsea XI : Arrizabalaga, Azpilicueta, A. Christensen, Tomori, M. Alonso, Jorginho, M. Kovacic, Pedro, M. Mount, Willian, T. Abraham.

Prediction

With both teams looking to get on the scoresheets for the three points I expect a high scoring game in France. It should end 2-2.
