For Chelsea this season is going well so far. This week the “retirees” played away in the Champions League against Rennes and achieved another success in the European Cup with a score of 2:1. This is the sixth consecutive victory of the London club in the last official matches. However, three of them took place in the Champions League, where in addition to the French in the first confrontation (3:0) Chelsea also knocked out Krasnodar. Nevertheless, Frank Lampard’s wards have already secured a ticket to the playoffs and can safely switch to the championship. In the Premier League Chelsea are currently in third position. The team has earned 18 points in nine matches and is two points behind Tottenham. The Blues have won in the last three rounds in a row, showing good performance. During this period Burnley (3:0) and Newcastle (2:0) fell away, whereas Sheffield United was knocked out at home (4:1). In general, the London club lost in the current championship only to Liverpool (0:2) at home. Afterwards they beat Crystal Palace (4:0) and had a draw with Soton (3:3). Also, as it was mentioned above, they achieved success in the match with the “blades”. It should be noted that the defeat to the reigning champion is the only one for Chelsea in the Premier League. There are no personnel losses among hosts.
The tenth place in the first season after returning to the elite championship of Spain delighted fans of the Pamplona team, but there was not much enthusiasm from the leadership during the short summer break. Perhaps this is due to the difficult financial situation in business, which is observed all over the world, but so far this has affected the results of the team. After nine games the Rojilos have recorded three wins and two draws this season, earning 11 points, like today’s opponent and 14th intermediate place in the La Liga standings. Following the success in the home game with Athletic (1:0), the Reds lost twice, after which they shared the tournament points with Huesca (1: ), for which we made a prediction. The line of attack of “Osasuna” looks very modest. They only managed to hit the opponents’ goal eight times, which is less than one goal scored per game. In the Basque infirmary is a good half of the team: Hernandez, Perez, Adrian, Garcia, Calleri, Torro and the team’s chief sniper, Chimi Avilla, who cannot cope with a knee injury.
