Dinamo Zagreb vs Chelsea
Croatians champions Dinamo zagreb kick start their group E UEFA champions league campaign with a tricky home tie against Chelsea at maksimir stadium.
Its the eighth time they have reached the UCL group stages, which is an impressive achievement in itself, but they will probably need a positive resulst here if they want to lay foundations to progress past this stage for the first time ever in the competition.
That looks a tall order on paper, especially as they have won only four of their last 19 European clashes against English opponents.
Chelsea's recent five games domestic form highlights the inconsistent nature of their performances right now, therefore they might see the return of UCL action as a welcome distraction.
Starting strong has been a key factor behind Chelsea's success at this stage in recent years and the blues have proven to be very tough to break down in these competition openers. Can Zagreb manage to get a point here? Prediction: Chelsea to win.
