An upbeat Chelsea is set to face off with Atletico Madrid tonight in a UEFA Champions League group stage fixture that promises to be an explosive affair.Chelsea, who appear to be the underdogs in this potentially nail-biting match, will be drawing loads of inspiration from their decisive 6-0 destruction of Qarabag.
My money is on Chelsea to manage a slim away win (correct score: Atletico Madrid 1:2 Chelsea). Take advantage of BetPawa’s good odds for this game (3.9 for a Chelsea win and 9.5 for the perfect score) for this result. It’s time to make some easy money. The English side, under Antonio Conte's stewardship, will be seeking to continue with their impressive start in Europe's biggest tournament. A win for the Blues in Wanda Metropolitano, Athletico's home ground, will keep alive their dreams to clinch Europe's most coveted title. In their last five UEFA Champions League encounters, Chelsea has won once -- 4-0 in 2009 -- and drawn twice with the Spanish side also winning once 4-1 in 2012. In spite of a not so spectacular away record against Diego Simeone's boys, the Blues, blessed with a rich pool of talent, remain upbeat about their prospects against an equally star-studded Spanish side. Below are comprehensive line-ups of the two teams: Atletico Madrid's starting lineup: Goalkeeper: OblakDefenders: Juanfran, Savic, Godin, Filipe LuisMidfielders: Saul, Thomas, Koke, CarrascoAttackers: Griezmann, TorresChelsea's starting lineupGoalkeeper: CourtoisDefenders: Rudiger, Azplicueta, LuizMidfielders: Moses, Kante, Fabregas, AlonsoAttackers: Pedro, Hazard, Morata.
