CHAMPIONS LEAGUE BETTING PICK - CHELSEA F.C V RACING GENK

Champions League

2011-10-19 - Chelsea F.C vs Racing Genk

A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser

Match Preview :

Chelsea who top the group with four points from two games welcome Genk who have only one point. After starting out with a win against Bayer Leverkusen they then draw against Valencia and come into this match after beating Everton 3-1 last weekend.

Genk meanwhile lost their last three games in a row and have failed to score in their opening two Champions League games against Valencia and Bayer Leverkusen.

Chelsea does have a good record against Belgian sides as they have they have won four (including the last three without conceding) and lost two of their six European matches against Belgian sides.

Team News :

With Spain international Fernando Torres almost certain to start in the midst of his domestic three-match ban that means that AVB will make changes to the side. Torres is likely to start in attack in place of Drogba although Nicolas Anelka will also be hoping to get the nod after coming in from the bench last weekend.

But we could also see captain John Terry and vice-captain Frank Lampard being rested here with Alex or David Luiz would be a like-for-like replacement at the back if Terry had the night off.

Meanwhile, Mario Been's Racing Genk side are missing a number of key men for this clash. Forward Jelle Vossen, along with defensive trio Jose Nadson, Torben Jonelei and Jeroen Simaeys, is set to sit the game out through injury. Captain David Hubert is also out.

This means that we could see Daniel Tozser and Elyaniv Barda back up Nigerian Kennedy Nwanganga in attack. Then we could see ex-Rangers man Thomas Buffel and star turn Kevin De Bruyne start in midfield.

One other familiar face is the former Portsmouth defender Anthony Vanden Borre for the visitors.
