Malmo v Chelsea betting tips: Blues odds-on to unlock Swedes

The Swedes have lost seven of their last eight games against English opponents in this competition (W1), including their last four. They last tasted success against an English side when beating Nottingham Forest in 1995 in the UEFA Cup.

The draw is available at odds of 11/2 in the Malmo v Chelsea betting tips.

Malmo v Chelsea head-to-head

Malmo have lost their previous three games against Chelsea by a 9-1 aggregate score and it is 11/10 that they find the net against Chelsea.

The Blues have never lost to a Swedish team in nine previous games, winning four and drawing three against them in all competitions. The last three have been against Malmo and all have ended in victories.

Chelsea last played in Malmo in the Europa League Round of 32 in February 2019 and came away with a 2-1 victory, courtesy of goals from Ross Barkley and Olivier Giroud. It is 9/1 that the scoreline will be replicated this time and it is 6/5 that both teams score.

Malmo v Chelsea key battles

Malmo are one of only three teams yet to score in the Champions League this season and Chelsea have conceded just once, so it is 5/6 that Tuchel’s side win to nil.

Last season, Chelsea’s one failing was a lack of goals, but they have now added to their firepower by bringing in Romelu Lukaku and he has opened up the game for others.

But with both himself and Timo Werner ruled out through injury until after the international break, the onus will fall on the likes of Kai Havertz and Mason Mount to grab the goals and they are 19/20 and 21/20 respectively to score at any time.
