Champions League: Chelsea and 2 other clubs that are expected to win their games this week.

Chelsea vs Lille

Team News: Chelsea

Mason Mount (Ankle Injury), Reece James (Fitness) and Ben Chilwell (Ruptured cruciate ligament) are not available for Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel.

In our view, The Blues will probably use a 3-4-2-1 formation for the game, beginning the first half with Edouard Mendy, Andreas Christensen, Thiago Silva, Antonio Ruediger, Cesar Azpilicueta, Jorginho, N’Golo Kante, Marcos Alonso, Hakim Ziyech, Christian Pulisic and Romelu Lukaku.

Team News: Lille

With a completely injury-free group available to select from, the Lille manager Jocelyn Gourvennec has zero fitness worries to report before this clash.

We’re of the thinking that LOSC could decide to utilise a 4-4-2 lineup, starting the game with Leo Jardim, Mehmet Zeki Celik, Jose Fonte, Sven Botman, Gabriel Gudmundsson, Timothy Weah, Benjamin Andre, Xeka, Jonathan Bamba, Burak Yilmaz and Jonathan David.

Prediction

In our view, Chelsea will likely get the goals that they need when they face Lille, who may well struggle getting goals.

Atlético Madrid vs Manchester United

Team News: Atlético Madrid

The Atlético Madrid manager Diego Simeone does not have any fitness concerns whatsoever ahead of this game owing to a fully healthy squad to choose from.

Team News: Manchester United

Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick has some current player fitness concerns. Eric Bailly (Ankle Injury), Nemanja Matic (Shinbone injury), Raphaël Varane (Stomach complaints) and Edinson Cavani (groin strain) are not ready for selection.

Prediction

For this match, we think that Manchester United are dangerous enough to score against this Atlético Madrid side, although it is unlikely to be enough to avoid defeat.

Benfica vs Ajax

Team News: Benfica

Haris Seferovic (Leg Injury), Lucas Veríssimo (Ruptured cruciate ligament) and Rodrigo Pinho (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) will be missing for Benfica gaffer Nélson Veríssimo.

Team News: Ajax

Ajax boss Erik ten Hag has some current player fitness concerns. Zakaria Labyad (Unknown Injury), Mohamed Ihattaren (Fitness), Sean Klaiber (Cruciate Ligament Rupture), Brian Brobbey (Medial Collateral Ligament Knee Injury) and Maarten Stekelenburg (Groin Surgery) won’t be making appearances.

Prediction

We’re envisaging that Benfica will have a tough ask to see themselves scoring against this Ajax side who we think should end up scoring and staying ahead.
