Malmo 1-2 Chelsea
Europa League 2018-19 | Round of 32, first leg
Venue: Swedbank Stadion
Ross Barkley and Olivier Giroud scored as Chelsea overcame Malmo 2-1 in the Europa League last-32 first leg to ease the pressure on Maurizio Sarri.
Barkley stabbed home on the half-hour mark before Giroud's clever flick doubled their lead. A late consolation from Anders Christiansen ensured the Swedish outfit are still in the tie, but Chelsea held on to secure their first away win since December 30.

Score prediction: Malmo 0-2 Chelsea
Given that Chelsea are priced (as of Monday) at 1/200 to qualify for the last-16, Malmo shouldn't give the Blues too many problems.
But Chelsea's away form makes for grim reading, with the Blues losing their last four games on the road to Tottenham (1-0), Arsenal (2-0), Bournemouth (4-0) and Man City (6-0) - that means the problem may be mental rather than tactical for Sarri's men in Sweden.
