Both clubs have lost their first matches, so this match bears high importance for either. Chelsea has lost to Valencia on Stamford Bridge. One can note that Chelsea has been dominating, and, frankly speaking, Coquelin deserved a red card. Barkley couldn't score a penalty, too. In any way, it's in the past, now Chelsea has two challenging opponents to deal with.

Lille is a robust team, which has been defeated in Amsterdam. Clearly, Lille is not a top team, which is sometimes evident on the field. The coach has claimed that his team will learn from the first defeat. Still, Chelsea is a far superior opponent. Lille may be quite capable at home, but the guests seem to score a lot in visiting matches recently: eight goals in three games. Considering that Chelsea improves with every game, one may expect the guests to win.
