Chelsea take on the visitors AC Milan in the round 3 match of UEFA Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, October 5th at Stamford Bridge (London).
Chelsea spend the 1st autumn without Roman Abramovich in many years. The new owners have already parted ways with the coach. But Tuchel in 2020 sensationally led the “aristocrats” to victory in the Champions League. However, last season was already quite mediocre, with no chance of serious achievements. Thomas's career in England ended just in the Champions League. The favorite in the starting round managed to lose in Zagreb – the stars of the Premier League could not respond to Orsic's only goal at the beginning of the match. Potter was called to correct the situation in the capital of Great Britain, laying out a record release clause for Brighton. But Graham, despite his iconic last name, is not a wizard. And this manifested itself in a home match against Red Bull (Salzburg). It ended in a fair draw at Stamford Bridge. The fans of the Blues can only hope that now more time has passed, and it will be possible to show the first results of the work of the new headquarters. The recent victory over Crystal Palace was a difficult one.

Milan under Stefano Pioli has sharply added. And the first serious manifestation of this was the long-awaited return to the Champions League a year ago. True, it turned out to be a failure: the Italians finished 4th, albeit in the company of Liverpool, Atlético and Porto. But, having unloaded the calendar of the 2nd part of the season, the Rossoneri finally got to the Scudetto. Now they look much more confident in the European Cup, however, the group turned out to be clearly more comfortable. However, the Italian grand started only with a draw in Salzburg - they played 1-1 with Red Bull. But Dinamo Zagreb was defeated confidently at home, 3-1. If they play well against the English, especially with maximum points, it will be possible to stake out a place ahead of schedule in the playoffs of the main continental tournament.
If we take out of account the fairly regular matches in the summer friendly tournaments, the British and Italians played only twice, in the group stage in 1999. Then there were 2 draws, 0-0 in London and 1-1 in Milan. Bookmakers are confident in the victory of Chelsea. But Milan looks good enough to bet on them with a +1 handicap.
Prediction for the match: AC Milan to win with +1.0 handicap.
