Chelsea
The team continues to listen to the entire transfer market. According to UEFA data, in the summer the Blues topped the ranking both in terms of expenditure on football players and income from the sale of their own players – and not the British one, but the world one. But at the same time, distortions in transactions are noticeable. They recruited a bunch of attacking, flanking players – the same Pedro Neto and Jadon Sancho, who will mainly compete for one place in the bracket with each other (as well as with the old-timers, led by Mudryk). It is not surprising that there is enough mess. Servette was beaten by 1 goal in the qualification of the Conference League. But it turns out to be added. And in the last round with West Ham, it was possible to achieve a confident victory, 3:0, with a double by Jackson.
Barrow
The club was founded at the very beginning of the last century. But since then, he hasn’t really shown anything there, moreover, the blue birds have never finished higher than the eighth place in League 1, the third level of local football. And now it’s hanging out even lower. Last season brought the final 8th place in League 2 – outside the playoff zone. Now Clemens’ wards are thinking more about a trip to the capital. But it’s still not bad in its championship, where in the last round with Newport it was possible to complete the grandmasters 2:0, with goals in each of the halves. As a result, after 7 matches, 16 points, and this is the best indicator in League 2. More precisely, one of the best – in this division there is a whole group of teams that started almost equally successfully. And in the League Cup, they managed to beat Port Vale in regular time and Derby County in a penalty shootout.
Statistics of personal meetings
Although the clubs have existed for a very long time, not even a friendly match was held between them.
Forecast
Bookmakers do not believe in any other outcome, except for the victory of the home team. But the guests are in excellent shape and will fight – we use a neutral option with a total of less than 4.5 goals (coefficient – 1.69).
