Europa League: Chelsea v Malmo second-leg betting preview, tip & TV details

TV: BT Sport 2, 8pm Thursday

Chelsea amassed 74 per cent possession in their 2-1 away win against Malmo and they can put in a similarly dominant display at Stamford Bridge.

The match provides the Blues with the perfect opportunity to respond to their 2-0 defeat to Manchester United in the FA Cup and even a much-changed 11 should put Malmo to the sword.

Sweden's most successful football club are rusty, having just come back from their winter break.

They conceded in four of their six group matches against tame opposition and defensive concerns persisted in their cup victory against Degerfors on Sunday, in which they conceded in both halves.

Recommendation
Chelsea-Chelsea double result
1pt 5-6 Coral, Ladbrokes
