Chelsea hosts Pafos FC this Wednesday (21:00) at Stamford Bridge with the firm intention of regaining momentum in the Champions League. After the narrow defeat against Atalanta (2-1), Liam Rosenior’s team is in 13th place with ten points and needs a win to challenge for direct qualification to the round of 16.
The Cypriot team, led by Spaniard Albert Celades, arrives in 26th place and urgently needs to score points to avoid elimination. Pafos has already shown its capacity for surprise by defeating Villarreal, but today faces a monumental challenge in London.
