Rennes vs Chelsea Preview:
Possible starting lineups:
Rennes:
Gomis; Traore, Aguerd, Da Silva, Truffert; Nzonzi, Camavinga, Bourigeaud; Doku, Guirassy, Terrier
Chelsea:
Mendy; Azpilicueta, Zouma, Silva, Chilwell; Kante, Jorginho, Mount; Ziyech, Abraham, Hudson-Odoi
Chelsea won 3:0 in the reverse fixture played at Stamford Bridge three weeks ago. The Blues, who were without one of the key players Kai Havertz after he had a positive test for Covid-19, were in total control from the begin to the end. They were awarded two penalties in the first half and both were converted by Timo Werner. He has been directly involved in 13 goals (scored 10 and assisted three) in his last 14 Champions League appearances for Leipzig and Chelsea. To be worse for Rennes, Dalbert was sent off by the German referee Felix Zwayer. In the 50th minute, a superb delivery from Reece James was turned in at the near post by Tammy Abraham. He managed to score in three consecutive Champions League starts for Chelsea. The last who did it was Willian in 2015. The Blues registered a comfortable victory that put them in control of Group E with 7 points. New Chelsea goalkeeper Eduard Mandy, who arrived exactly from Rennes, wasn't too busy, though he kept the net untouched. Lampard will probably have Kai Havertz and Thiago Silva available for this match, however it is too soon for the injured Christian Pulisic, who continues to nurse a hamstring injury. Nevertheless, some players may be rested, like Werner and right-back Reece James who suffered a minor injury against Newcastle this weekend.
This is the last chance for Rennes. They have just one point after the first three matches of the group and the best that Rennes could hope for would be a spot in the Europa League.. Knowing they are debutants in the top European competition, it isn't a big surprise. Of course, it won't be easy as Russian Krasnodar will also try to secure the third place. The French outfit played an 1:1 draw at home with Krasnodar in the first round, and lost the remaining two games. They were narrowly beaten by Sevilla at Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan in the second, while lost high at Stamford Bridge. I already wrote about that match, Rennes lost 3:0 at Stamford Bridge. But every story could be told differently, from other "point of view". Rennes were unlucky as there were two penalties against them, plus Dalbert was sent off early in controversial circumstances. Nevertheless, the fact is coach Julien Stephan has big issues with a tough schedule. Rennes have lost three in a row and the players confidence is low. After the match in London, they suffered a 3:0 defeat to PSG, while this weekend lost 1:0 to Bordeaux at home. Stephan has additional worries ahead of this match. Dalbert is sidelined due to suspension after saw a red card in London, so Adrien Truffert is expect to deputize. Two more players are also unavailable through injuries - this match comes too soon for Faitout Maouassa and Daniele Rugani.
Rennes vs Chelsea Prediction:
Chelsea won 3:0 in London and I expect to win again. The truth is they received two penalties, the truth is Dalbert was sent off in controversial circumstances, but I think the quality is on Chelsea side. Rennes are in series of three defeats in all competitions and the players confidence is low. Chelsea should collect another three points here.

PSG vs Leipzig
Prediction: Over 3 goals
H2H:
- Their last game had exactly 3 goals and also 3.1 xG. However, PSG could not count with Mbappe or Neymar
PSG
- PSG is the team with the most goals scored in Ligue 1, with 28. It is also the team with the most xG: 29.15
- 9 out of 11 of their last games have had 3 or more goals. Those which had less than 3 goals were two 2-0 wins, one of them with 3.4 xG+xGA and the other 4.6
- After the 2 initial losses (PSG was missing a great part of its squad), PSG only had 2 games with less than 3 xG+xGA: 1-2 loss against Manchester United (0.9-1.6) and 2-0 win against Rennes (0.9-1.1)
RB Leipzig
- Leipzig is the fourth-highest goal scoring team in Bundesliga with a current average of 2 goals scored per game. Furthermore, they conceded an average of 0.6 goals per game. Hence, they are averaging 2.6 goals per game.
- 11 out of the 12 games played in this season had at least 2 goals.

Juventus vs Ferencvaros
Prediction: Ferencvaros +3 Asian Handicap
H2H:
- Their last game was a 4-1 win for Juventus, which would result in a void bet. Nevertheless. xG-xGA was actually equal to 1.5 (2.9-1.4), which means that this bet could have easily be a success in the previous match
Juventus
- Juve did not have the best start to the season, and is yet to win a game by more than 3 goals
- Their highest xG-xGA this season was 2.7 against Spezia (3.4-0.7)
Ferencvaros
- Ferencvaros only has 2 defeats in this season and they are against Juventus and Barcelona. It is worth mentioning that they had to play from the first qualifying round to reach the Champions League
- Their loss against Juve was 4-1, so this bet would have been void. Their loss against Barcelona was 5-1, but they were unlucky (they only had 3.1 xGA).
A bettor in Betmarkets also took this bet @1.82 (the bet has not as much value as before but it may still be worth the shot)

Lazio is undefeated since mid-October and with seriousness and perseverance, can take a qualifying step today. The unstoppable Immobile and the extreme Joaquin Korea, it is very difficult for someone to stop them and I am waiting today to win
LAZIO vs ZENIT ST. PETERSBURG @@ LAZIO, odds 1.70
I think the quality is from Chelsea. Wren is in a three-game losing streak in all competitions and player confidence is low. Chelsea must collect three more points today
RENNES vs CHELSEA @@ CHELSEA, odds 1.60
A complete Paris Saint-Germain can be imposed on any team, without this meaning that the visitors do not have their chances against the Parisians who are plagued by injuries and punishments. The hosts are able to start the famous attacking trio of Di Marie, Neymar and Bape and due to the need for points I will bet on the home team winning in combination over 1.5
PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN vs RB LEIPZIG @@ PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN & Over 1.5, odds 1.70

Liverpool vs Atalanta Preview:
Possible starting lineups:
Liverpool:
Alisson; N Williams, R Williams, Matip, Tsimikas; Jones, Wijnaldum, Milner; Salah, Firmino, Diogo Jota
Atalanta:
Gollini; Toloi, Palomino, Djimsiti; Hateboer, Pasalic, Freuler, Mojica, Gomez; Zapata, Muriel
Liverpool welcome the last season's quarter-finalists Atalanta at Anfield. This is the second match between these two sides in just three weeks. The Reds have maximal nine points after the first three rounds. They started the campaign with a narrow 1:0 away victory against Ajax in Amsterdam thanks to an own-goal scored by Nicolas Tagliafico. In the second round Liverpool beat Midtjylland with 2:0 with goals scored by Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah. The visit to Bergamo was supposed to be the hardest, however ended with a comfortable 5:0 win. It is the biggest ever victory by an English club away to Italian opposition in European competition. Diogo Jota was the 'Player of the Match' after scoring a terrific hat-trick. Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah also found the back of the net. Liverpool have reached two of the past three Champions League finals - lifting the trophy for the sixth time in 2019 - and the early signs are putting them between the favorites again. However, my opinion is that's almost impossible without key defender Virgil van Dijk. To be worse, Joe Gomez also suffered a knee injury and will be sidelined for a longer period. Nathaniel Phillips, who was excellent in his Premier League debut, is ineligible to play in the Champions League. Most probably Rhys Williams and Joel Matip will start as centre-backs. Fabinho should be rested after played the full 90 minutes in his first match back after injury. Captain Jordan Henderson and Thiago Alcantara are both rated as doubtful, while Naby Keita suffered an injury against Leicester during the weekend. Kostas Tsimikas could replaced Robertson as the Scot is definitely tired. Trent Alexander-Arnold and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain remain sidelined, as well as Xherdan Shaqiri.
Atalanta have four points at the moment. Three of them were collect in Denmark after the Italians obtained a high 4:0 win thanks to goals score by Duvan Zapata, Alejandro Gomez, Luis Muriel and Aleksey Miranchuk. In the second round Atalanta played a 2:2 draw with Ajax, who had a two-goal advantage after the first half. But Atalanta players refused to give up and remained unbeaten after Duvan Zapata scored twice in the second half and equalized the result. Atalanta faced Spezia in domestic Serie A during the weekend. It was an important game, but La Dea played a disappointing draw. Coach Gian Piero Gasperini wasn't satisfied with the result, though he said they were struggling with so many players away on international duty before the trip to Spezia. The Nerazzurri did everything to win, hitting the woodwork with Duvan Zapata, seeing a Robin Gosens goal narrowly ruled offside and forcing Spezia keeper Provedel into a series of saves. Nevertheless, it was Atalanta’s first 0:0 draw in Serie A in over a year. However, the fact is they have only won one of their last six matches in all competitions since beating Midtjylland. Even worse, Atalanta have scored just one goal on the last three fixtures. Mister Gasperini has some additional problems ahead of this match. He will likely be without Mattia Caldara until January due to a knee injury, while Ruslan Malinovskyi and Fabio Depaoli are sidelined through injuries. On the positive note, Robin Gosens, Marten de Roon, Jose Luis Palomino and Pierluigi Gollini are available.
Liverpool vs Atalanta Prediction:
I think Atalanta could upset Liverpool. Yes, they were destroyed in Bergamo and lost 5:0. They were also poor against Spezia during the weekend. Nevertheless, the Nerazzurri are good team with quality players. It wasn't a coincidence they reached the quarter-finals last season. Duvan Zapata has been directly involved in three goals in three Champions League group games this season. Liverpool are missing three important defenders (Van Dijk, Gomez and Alexander-Arnold) and that's a huge handicap. I will suggest Atalanta +1.0 in Asian handicap. In case Liverpool to win with one goal, Your stake is back.
