Sevilla hosts Chelsea in round 5 of the Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, December 2nd at Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán (Sevilla)
The fate of the first place will be decided in the upcoming match. Like Chelsea, Sevilla has 10 points. Progress to the playoffs is already guaranteed, but the teams will fight for the lead in the group. Yes, there will be another sixth round, but most likely, everything will be decided by the outcome of the upcoming game. Let’s recall that bets on Sevilla were profitable in all matches, with the exception of the first round, when the team tied with Chelsea in London (1:1). However, we must say that the victories over Rennes and Krasnodar were with a minimal advantage, and both matches with the Russian club were very hard.

Chelsea's situation is identical to that of Sevilla (the same three victories over outsiders and a draw in a head-to-head match with the Spaniards). Accordingly, the British have the same 10 points in the piggy bank. Unlike Sevilla, Chelsea acted more effectively against outsiders in most cases. The Pensioners hammered Krasnodar away (0:4) and Rennes at home (3:0). And only in the last match did the Blues beat the French with a minimum 1:2 score, and the winning goal was scored only in the 91st added minute.
Yes, Sevilla will have an advantage in the form of a home field, but in the era of the coronavirus, it is no longer as important as before. If we compare the purely game qualities of the teams, then Chelsea is in much better shape than Sevilla. Although the Spaniards won recently, these victories happened in matches against much weaker opponents and were gained with obvious difficulties. We think the visitors will have more chances of gaining victory.
Prediction for the match: Chelsea to win with 0.0 handicap
