Malmo should also fancy themselves to make offensive headway in this match. The Swedish outfit failed to resist defensively last week, but they created plenty going forward, as they clocked a more than respectable 1.63 expected goals for. With Chelsea likely to attack in their own patch, the visitors should be able to play on the counter, which is a tactic that served them well a week ago.
To put it simply, after they troubled the Chelsea rear-guard in the first leg and after they scored away against the likes of Besiktas in the groups, Malmo should not be underestimated ahead of this fixture.
In the betting, under 5.5 Goals stands out. Not only did such a selection yield a profit in the first leg, but the performance of both on that occasion suggests that, at the very least, scoring chances will arrive for both teams on Thursday. Moreover, the performance of both last week coupled with their respective efforts at home and away during the group stages suggests that there may just be a smidgen of value to be had by supporting a high-scoring encounter at the current prices.
Chelsea may have managed to get back to winning ways in midweek when they faced Malmo in the first leg of their Europa League tie, but Maurizio Sarri and his men will still be reeling off the back of their horror show last weekend.
They were demolished 6-0 by a rampant Manchester City side, following on from their 4-0 defeat against Bournemouth in their last away game and making it 12 goals conceded without reply on the road.
Back at Stamford Bridge they will be hoping for a better outcome, but even there they have faltered at times this season. They dropped 2 points against Southampton in their first outing of 2019 and lost to Leicester just before Christmas, and now they’re facing an in form Manchester United side who have some big scalps under their belt since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took charge.
The Norwegian interim manager did suffer a setback in midweek though, losing 2-0 at home to PSG to leave their Champions League hopes dangling by a thread. Overturning this deficit at the Parc des Princes won’t be an easy task, but they will at least hope to bounce back on Monday night.Therefor toninght we will see under 5.5 goals.
