Valencia :
After 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat, the home team is currently in 3rd position, with 7 points won. In the last match, he won by (4-1) at home against Lille, after in the previous match, having tied for (1-1) away with Lille. This is a team little affected by the home factor, that is, it presents similar results at home and away, since in the last 30 matches it records 7 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses as a visitor, with 20 goals scored and 20 suffered; against 7 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses in his stadium, with 27 goals scored and 19 suffered.

In 15 games, he suffered the first goal 7 times and only got 2 comebacks.
The group in which Valencia is is quite complicated and passing the phase will not be easy. However, until now the balance has prevailed and the Spaniards only depend on themselves to achieve the qualification.

In this match, the best players available will be on the field.
Chelsea :
The visiting team is currently in 2nd position, with 7 points won, after 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. In the penultimate match, he won out against Ajax by (0-1). In the last game, he tied at home against Ajax by (4‑4). This is a team that curiously conquers more positive results as a visitor than at home, since in the last 30 matches it records 11 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses as a visitor, with 40 goals scored and 25 suffered; against 7 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses in his stadium, with 35 goals scored and 20 suffered. In the last game he played for the Premier League, he lost to Manchester City by (2‑1). In its last 10 away games, Chelsea records 7 wins and 3 losses. His defense has not been very solid, since he suffered goals in 3 of the last 4 matches, but his attack has scored regularly, since he scored goals in 3 of the last 4 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since in 31 of their last 36 games there were more than 1.5 goals and in 24 of the last 36 there were more than 2.5 goals. In 15 games, he never got the comeback in the 4 games in which he suffered the first goal.
There is no doubt that Chelsea does not want to be eliminated so early, but it must show a greater commitment in the games that are still to be played. As the balance in your group is large, it is essential that you get good results, especially in front of direct competitors. The current round is one of those cases and, despite being playing outside their domains, it is almost essential to avoid a stumble. In this way, he will have to impose himself and try to cancel the local team, since he cannot leave room for errors. In this match, the best players available will be on the field.
