Chelsea vs Malmo prediction: How will Champions League fixture play out tonight?

PA Wire

Chelsea welcome Malmo to Stamford Bridge in the third match day of this season’s Champions League.

The Blues retained their position at the top of the Premier League after a 1-0 win over Brentford thanks to Ben Chilwell’s strike and Edouard Mendy’s heroics between the sticks.

A setback last time out against Juventus, going down 1-0 in Turin after Federico Chiesa’s goal, means the Blues are tied up with Zenit Saint Petersburg in second in Group H.

Malmo, who are to of the Allsvenskan, are yet to win a point in Europe though, and went down 5-1 on aggregate to the Blues just two years ago in the Europa League round of 32, including a 3-0 loss in London thanks to second-half goals from Olivier Giroud, Ross Barkley and Callum Hudson-Odoi.
