Predictions and betting tips Sevilla vs Chelsea

Live betting Sevilla vs Chelsea provided by Bet365

CHELSEA and Sevilla have already qualified for the round of 16 of the Champions League, so this clash in Spain is effectively a shootout to decide who will be first in Group E and get a gentler draw in the round of 16.

Since the start of the European season with a sad stalemate at Stamford Bridge, both teams have racked up three wins each, with the goal difference keeping the Blues at the top.

Another stalemate would suit them here in view of the home clash with Krasnodar in the last group match and Sevilla will have to break a defense they have only suffered once in the group stage. It happened last time in Rennes with a 2-1 win (down), a match in which our man Slips Tips once again took gold.

Chelsea lost goals in Frank Lampard’s first season as boss and that trend continued at the start of the new campaign, but the arrival of goalkeeper Edouard Mendy and veteran Thiago Silva stabilized the ship.

Since the 3-3 draw with Southampton in October, the Blues have kept seven clean sheets in nine games, sacking them in the Premier League title contention and securing progress to the Champions League.

But Sevilla possess a lot of firepower and launch into this clash in the wake of five straight wins, so it will provide Lampard’s defense a stern test.

As bookmakers see it

This is hard to call and is reflected in the odds with Sevilla 7/4 with McBookie and Chelsea a better 13/8 at Matchbook. Another draw will attract a lot of interest at 5/2 with Unibet.

Team news

Left-back Ben Chilwell injured his ankle in the tie with Spurs but is confident he is fit to face Sevilla. Kai Havertz and Christian Pulisic have both returned from the bench at the weekend and are vying to start. Sevilla will still have to give up their wings Oussama Idrissi and Suso.

Players to watch

Lucas Ocampos has disappointed a bit this season, scoring only twice after a staggering 17 goals last season. But the Argentine is still a huge threat and is 12/5 at Paddy Power for any scorer.

Timo Werner (below) has scored three goals in the group stage and is also Chelsea’s penalty shooter. This makes it a good value for a goal here at 9/5 with 888Sport.

Anything else catches the eye?

Given Chelsea’s improvement in defense and 0-0 when these two teams last met, betting on goals could pay off. It certainly paid off when Slips Tips took the Blues weekend stalemate against Spurs.

Under 2.5 goal pays 10/11 to Betfred here while betting against both teams to score is 6/5 with BetVictor. I also imagine that the score is equal to the range, which is priced at 6/5 on Bet365, and betting against a goal in any half pays 11/10 with Paddy Power.

Try to defend with less than 8.5 corners in 27/25 with 888Sport, as that bet was made in the last group match for both Chelsea and Sevilla, but also when the two teams met at Stamford Bridge.

This UEFA Champions League match between Sevilla and Chelsea will be played on 2 December 2020 and starts at 20:00. Check below for our best Sevilla vs Chelsea predictions.
