Chelsea vs Lille
Chelsea are set to play their final Champions League group game of the 2019/20 season on Tuesday.
While a number of clubs has been previously procured their spot in the CL last 16, Chelsea’s group is very much wide open.
All of Ajax, Valencia and Chelsea are all still able to both qualify from Group H and top it.
The London outfit head into the Lille clash sat 3rd in Group H, behind 2nd region Valencia on aim change and two points off table-topping Ajax.
But as long as Frank Lampard’s side emerge from Stamford Bridge with a victory on Tuesday, they will qualify for the knockout stages.
Should Chelsea draw with the French clothing, they would have to hope Ajax defeat Valencia in the remaining group H tie.
The only way Chelsea are able to top their CL group is if they beat Lille by more aims than Valencia beat Ajax, should the Spanish powerhouse indeed beat last season’s Champions League semi-finalists.
