Live on ESPN: Thurs 17.00: Chelsea should qualify for the Europa League semis but they tempt at 7/4 (bet365) to lose the second leg against Rubin Kazan.
Chelsea are in control of their Europa League tie against Rubin Kazan after recording a 3-1 victory in the first leg at Stamford Bridge and although there have been a host of fightbacks in Europe this year, Rafa Benitez’s men should reach the last four, an outcome Skybet quote at just 1/7.
However, the Russian outfit aren’t going to lie down and with these Europa League matches, according to Blues midfielder John Obi Mikel, hard to get motivated for, bet365’s 7/4 for Rubin Kazan to card a second leg success catches the eye.
Stan James make them 7/2 to nick it by one and in a match that looks a banker at 10/11 (William Hill) to see both teams find the net, BetVictor’s 21/2 for the hosts to finish on the right side of a 2-1 scoreline isn’t without appeal.
Recommended Bets:
Rubin Kazan to beat Chelsea by a one-goal margin – 7/2 (Stan James)
