Champions League
2010-09-15 - MZK Zilina vs Chelsea F.C
A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Analysis:This will be a meeting between David vs Goliath as minnows Zilina will take on Chelsea who are more determined than ever to land the Champions League crown this season.
The last time these two sides met was during the 2003/2004 qualifying rounds when Chelsea came out winners on a 5-0 aggregate win. In fact, their record against Slovakian sides has been good as it stretches to four games, has seen them build up a cumulative score of 9-0.
Zilina boss Pavel Hapal knows what his side is up against but hope his team can live up to expectations. The good news for the home side is that they will enter this match with a fully fit side without any injuries to worry about.
Chelsea, on the other hand, are set to be without a number of their key players for the trip to Slovakia. In attack, Didier Drogba is set to start a two-match ban, having been dismissed against Inter Milan in the last 16 last season.
Frank Lampard is also unavailable after he is recuperating from a hernia operation. Jose Bosingwa is on his way back to full fitness but this match comes too early for him while Ashley Cole did not travel with the team to Slovakia.
Ancelotti has gone on record to state that he has already named his starting line up with the likes of Cech, Ivanovic, Alex, Terry, Zhirkov, John Obi Mikel, Essien, Benayoun, Malouda, Anelka, Sturridge will start this match.
Take Chelsea to win this match and give the 1 1/2 ball.
Cheers and good luck,
