Underwhelming Blues

Chelsea moved top of the Premier League at the weekend with their 1-0 win at Brentford, but that victory wasn’t the big boost you’d imagine. The Blues mustered up one shot on target to Brentford’s seven, taking only five shots to the Bees’ 17.

The old adage is that winning without playing well is the mark of champions, but it doesn’t exactly fill you with confidence that the Blues are an attacking force. Edouard Mendy continues to prove himself, but the European champions needed him and a goal from their left-back to bail them out at the weekend.

Malmo up against it

Chelsea may not be on fire, but they’re still 1/10 favourites here for a reason. Only RB Leipzig (8) have conceded more goals than Malmo (7) in the opening two rounds of the Champions League. Meanwhile, only Besiktas (6.5) have a higher expected goals against total than the Swedish side so far (6.1).

Malmo lost 5-1 on aggregate when these two sides met the Europa League in 2018/19 and the Blues should be comfortable winners in this one. However, neither of those games saw over 3.5 goals. Despite Malmo losing heavily twice already, I’m not backing a thumping victory for the shot-shy Blues.

Routine win for hosts

Chelsea haven’t looked clinical of late, while their Champions League run under Thomas Tuchel. They’ve scored twice in three of those games, scoring once or fewer in the rest. Chelsea edged out Zenit 1-0 at home in their last European game at the Bridge, so don’t expect them to rack up the goals.

Since Tuchel’s first UEFA Champions League game in charge of Chelsea on February 23rd, the Blues have kept six clean sheets in nine games in the competition. Their

到目前为止，马尔默已经输掉了两场比赛，在这场比赛中失球最多的球队只有一支
然而，他们面对的切尔西在周末只射正了一球
在塔切尔的带领下，蓝军在欧冠的九场比赛中保持了六场不失球
在德国人的带领下，切尔西在这场比赛中进球数还没有超过两次
平庸的蓝调

切尔西在周末1-0战胜布伦特福德，跃居英超榜首，但那场胜利并不是你想象中的那种巨大的提升。蓝军在布伦特福德的七次射正中只有一次，而蜜蜂队的17次射正中只有5次。

有句老话说，打得不好就赢是冠军的标志，但这并不能让你确信蓝军是一支进攻力量。爱德华·曼迪继续证明了自己，但是欧洲冠军需要他和左后卫的一个进球来帮助他们在周末摆脱困境。

马尔默对抗它

切尔西也许并不炙手可热，但他们仍然是十分之一的夺冠热门，这是有原因的。在欧冠的前两轮比赛中，只有莱比锡(8个)比马尔默(7个)丢的球更多。与此同时，迄今为止，只有贝西克塔斯(6.5)的预期进球数高于瑞典(6.1)。

在2018/19赛季的欧联杯上，马尔默以5-1的总比分输给了蓝军，蓝军应该会在这场比赛中轻松取胜。然而，这两款游戏的目标都没有超过3.5个。尽管马尔默已经输了两次，但我并不支持胆小的蓝军取得一场大胜。

东道主的例行胜利

切尔西在托马斯·图切尔的带领下，还没有表现出冷静。在这些比赛中，他们有三场进了两次球，其余的比赛只进了一次或更少。切尔西在上一场欧战中主场1-0淘汰了泽尼特，所以别指望他们能进更多的球。

自2月23日图切尔执教切尔西以来，蓝军在9场比赛中有6场比赛没有失球。他们的
