Vidi vs Chelsea Betting: Latest odds, team news, preview and predictions

Vidi will be hoping to clinch their place in the Europa League knockout stages when they welcome Chelsea to the Groupama Arena on Thursday.

The Hungarian side can make it through to the next round should they better the result of BATE, who are away to PAOK in their fixture.

Latest Odds

However, they are 9/2 (5.50) outsiders with 888Sport to give themselves the best chance of progression by coming out on top against their illustrious visitors.

Indeed, Maurizio Sarri’s team have won all five of their group games so far, and are priced at just 4/6 (1.67) to maintain their 100 per cent record with another victory here.

None of the guests’ last 12 Europa League games have resulted in draws, but you can get odds of 13/5 (3.60) on them being held to a stalemate in this one.

Team News

The home side have a full squad to choose from, and are likely to field their strongest line-up despite a big league game against runaway leaders Ferencvaros coming up at the weekend.

Mateo Kovacic is the only injury absentee for the Blues, who could offer runouts to some of the fringe players including youngsters Ethan Ampadu and Callum Hudson-Odoi.

Low-scoring clash

Marko Nikolic’s men actually ran Chelsea pretty close in the opening game at Stamford Bridge, holding out until the 70th minute before going down 1-0 to an Alvaro Morata goal.

It could be a similarly tense story in this clash considering they have conceded only five goals but scored just three in their five group games combined so far.

What’s more, Chelsea have won both of their two away matches 1-0 so far, and are unlikely to run away with the game considering the lack of real incentive to get out of second gear.

Predictions

All in all, odds of 9/10 (1.90) appear generous on under 2.5 goals being scored for Vidi’s sixth group game in six, as well as a fourth in six for their visitors.
