Chelsea has done amazing things under Thomas Tuchel. The former Paris St. Germain coach won the premier league with the Blues last year. The odds made it clear that no online bookie really had the Tuchel-Elf on the paper. But already in the group phase, the team was able to convince with strong performances. With four victories and two draws, the place in the sun jumped out at the end. In the knockout round, strong competitors such as Atletico Madrid, Porto and Real Madrid were eliminated. In the end, it was the English summit meeting with Manchester City. Chelsea won the Champions League title in 2011-12 with a goal from the German Kai Havertz.
Under Thomas Tuchel, the Blues managed to climb to fourth place in the league table last season. For this reason, participation in the premier class is also on the agenda this season.
In group H, the odds point to Chelsea as a favorite tip in terms of group victory. In the end, much will depend on the direct duels with Juventus Turin. Zenit St. Petersburg and Malmö assume the role of underdogs.
In the English Premier League, the blues are still undefeated after four matchdays and have a record of three wins and one draw. The dress rehearsal last weekend led to a 3-0 victory over Aston Villa. Together with Liverpool, the Tuchel-Elf currently occupies second place in the standings with ten points captured.

The Russians were also represented at the highest international level last season, but struggled very hard in Group F against the strong competition from Dortmund, Rome and Bruges. In the end, after six group games, there was only one lean counter in the account. It was won against Lazio Rome after a 1:1 draw in front of a local backdrop. With a captured dot, ZENIT was able to say goodbye immediately after the preliminary round without singing or sounding. But this year everything is going to be better.
For the third time in a row, the team secured the home championship last season and was able to gain an eight-point advantage over the chasing team Spartak Prague. As reigning Russian champion, ZENIT directly solved the ticket for the group phase. However, Petersburg acts as a clear outsider against the strong competition. The odds show that progress would certainly be a surprise. After all, the Russians reached the sixteen final three times in nine Champions League games. = = References = = = = External links = = * Official website
