Alike the Italians, Chelsea followed the draw in the UEFA Champions League with three consecutive victories in the English Premier League: 4:2 over Watford, 2:1 against Everton and 1:0 vs. Bournemouth. Currently Antonio Conte’s team sits on the fourth place in the English elite division standings with 19 points gained and 18-10 goal difference after 10 encounters played. In the UEFA Champions League “The Pensioners” take the lead in Group C with seven points taken after three clashes played being the main contender for the qualification from the group into the spring part of the competition. This season Chelsea conducted six battles at away grounds resulting in five wins and 1:2 loss to Crystal Palace.
The forthcoming fight will become the fourth official head-to-head for the rivals during last 10 years in which Chelsea got 1:0 triumph, AS Roma deserved 3:1 victory while their recent meeting ended with 3:3 draw. The teams are not likely to bring the second high-scoring performance in a row as the Italians show stronger play in defense in this season while Antonio Conte’s teams always conceded not much.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
