Chelsea vs Roma: Alejandro Moreno has made a bold prediction about Champions League Group C

That is the view of ESPN FC pundit and former Venezuela international Alejandro Moreno.

Chelsea have won their opening two games in the group, against Qarabag and Atletico Madrid.

Atletico drew their other match away to Roma, so only have one point from their two games.

However, Moreno still believes the La Liga giants will qualify so says it is between Roma and Chelsea for the other spot in the top two.

The importance of this match, I can’t stress it enough. They play Chelsea vs Roma and the next round is going to be Roma against Chelsea

Moreno is backing Antonio Conte’s side to just have enough to overcome their Serie A opponents in the Champions League clash.

“The importance of this match, I can’t stress it enough,” he said.

“They play Chelsea vs Roma and the next round is going to be Roma against Chelsea.

Chelsea vs Roma: Moreno says Atletioc Madrid will qualify out of Champions League Group C

“Let’s not forget that in this same group you have Atletico Madrid. We expect them to make it into the next round. 

“One of these two teams are going to be out. 

“So this group will be defined in the next couple of games. 

Chelsea, at home, barely and I mean barely (will win), somehow (Michy) Batshuayi is still starting for this team, maybe that’s enough.”
