Chelsea vs Sevilla Betting Tips & Predictions (Champions League - 20.10.2020)
- Written by David Bet
Chelsea's Champions League campaign begins on Tuesday with the visit of Sevilla. Will the Blues beat the reigning Europa League champions? This article contains our Chelsea vs Sevilla betting tips with expert picks, predictions, line-ups, team news, enhanced odds, and free bet!
The hosts will again be without the services of Edouard Mendy for Tuesday's contest. As a result, Kepa will start between the sticks. Billy Gilmour is the other absentee, given that Hakim Ziyech and Christian Pulisic are both fit. Veteran centre-half Thiago Silva has been rested over the weekend and should start in central defense alongside Kurt Zouma.
Sevilla suffered a 1-0 defeat away to Granada on Saturday, meaning they have only collected 7 points from their first 4 La Liga games. Julen Lopetegui's side have a good European pedigree and are fresh from just another Europa League trophy as they beat Inter Milan 3-2 in the final back in August. The Andalusians have won just one of their seven away major UEFA European matches in England (D3 L3) but defeated Wolves and Man UTD en-route to win the Europa League last summer. The Spanish outfit is 4/5 with Unibet to grab all three points.
Centre back Jules Kounde tested positive for COVID-19 and is out of contention. Summer signing Karim Rekik is likely to make his debut and partner Diego Carlos at centre back. Up front, Europa League hero Luuk De Jong will lead the line, flanked by Lucas Ocampos and Suso. Sergio Escudero lasted 18 minutes before needing to come off at the weekend and is expected to miss out.
Sevilla (4-3-3): Bounou; Navas, Rekik, Carlos, Acuna; Rakitic, Fernando, Jordan; Ocampos, De Jong, Suso

Chelsea have endured a somewhat inconsistent start to the new campaign so far, picking up eight points from their five Premier League matches. The Blues were held by Southampton 3-3 on Saturday, although new signing Timo Werner scored his first goals of the season. Frank Lampard's men have now gone W8-D1-L1 from their 10 home matches dating back to March, including victories over Liverpool, Everton and Man City.
