Chelsea face Qarabag at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday, Sept. 12. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
Chelsea are back in the Champions League for the first time since the 2015-16 season, and they are back with a vengeance. The Blue’s missed out on last season’s Champions League after finishing 10th in the Premier League. After winning the Premier League last season, they appear to be the favorites to advance from their group that includes Atletico Madrid, Roma and Qarabag. This is a tough group, with Roma and Atletico being quality opponents. Chelsea will surely target Qarabag as the side they need to beat in both legs for a relatively easy six points. Chelsea are coming off a hard-fought victory against Leicester. They will look to continue their momentum and pick up a win against the Azerbaijani champions.
Qarabag are clearly the underdog against Chelsea, but that does not mean they cannot play the role of spoiler as well. Chelsea could rotate their team against the weakest team in their group. This could open the door for Qarabag to take advantage and stun the Premier League champions. They will likely have to play on the break as Chelsea will dominate possession, but they’ll be desperate to make a good first impression in the competition.
