LiontipsChelsea - Paphos: betting tip (cf 1.84) and bets on the Champions League match
Command Analysis
Current form
Despite recent failures in the Premier League, Chelsea are not doing so badly in the Champions League. Clearly, the winter break helped to avoid a downturn in the main European tournament. The aristocrats have scored 10 points, they are only two points behind the top 8 on the eve of the seventh round, and there is a chance to get a ticket to the 1/8 finals once. In the Premier League, after the resignation of Enzo Maresca, Chelsea, led by Liam Rosenior, beat Brentford (2:0) and occupy sixth place, just two points behind the top four. It should be noted that in the Champions League, the Londoners perform flawlessly on their own field, won all three matches with a total score of 9:1, including beating the formidable Barcelona (3:0).
Disqualifications and injuries
Colville and Lavia are injured. Gusteau, Adarabioyo, Gittens and Estevao are questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- Chelsea have had only one draw in their last 14 Champions League matches.
- In five of the previous six matches involving Chelsea in the Champions League, at least three goals were scored.
Approximate composition: Jorgensen – Achimpong, Chaloba, Fofana, Cucurella – Caicedo, Fernandez–Neto, Palmer, Garnacho – Giu.
Current form
Pathos can take advantage of the current Champions League draw in any case. The humble representative of Cyprus not only made it to the main stage, but also scored six points in six rounds, which can be considered a serious success, given the serious level of opposition. Nevertheless, the club's management has replaced the coach, and Albert Celades is now in charge of the team. It's an ambiguous decision, considering that all the recent achievements have been associated with Juan Carcedo. In the Cyprus championship, Paphos played three matches after the new year, was defeated in two of them, and is in second place with a five-point gap from the leader.
Disqualifications and injuries
David Luis is injured.
Interesting betting trends
- Paphos has only two defeats in the last 12 matches in the Champions League.
- In 9 of the 12 previous matches of Paphos in the Champions League, more than two goals were not scored.
The approximate line-up: Neofitos – Lucassen, Pileas, Goldar – Bruno, Shunic, Pepe, Orsic – Correia, Dragomir – Anderson.
Trends

Such a bet has been made in Chelsea's last five matches
1.52The Total cornerbetis less than 10.5
In eight of Chelsea's last ten home matches, such a bet has played
1.50The bet is an accurate score of 3:0
Pafos suffered two of the last three defeats with a "dry" score.
6.80Tip and bets
Paphos has achieved all its successes in the Champions League largely due to reliable defensive actions, but at the same time, in matches against top rivals, Bayern and Juventus, it was not possible to contain the opponents' attack. The Cypriots have changed their coach, and it is far from certain that today we will see a well-known defensive team, plus David Luiz, a key player in the center of defense, will not play due to injury. Chelsea, under Rosenor's leadership, managed to beat Brentford in the Premier League and is now able to build on its success. Moreover, in the framework of the Champions League, the aristocrats at Stamford Bridge won all three matches with a total score of 9:1.
Our prediction is that Chelsea will win with an Asian handicap (-2) for a coefficient of 1.70
Bet on the total
Chelsea conceded only one goal in the Champions League. Already under the leadership of Rosenor, the Londoners managed to win back to zero with Brentford. There is a high probability that Pathos will not be able to open the enemy's defenses even once today.
The second bet is that Pathos will not score with a coefficient of 1.84
A bet on yellow cards
In home matches involving Chelsea in the Champions League, you can often see a decent number of yellow cards. So, in the last eight games, only twice the referees did not show at least four warnings. Based on this trend, we recommend another bet on the match.
The betting tip is that the total number of yellow cards is more than 3.5 with a coefficient of 2.08
