Match background

Krasnodar's first home game in the UEFA Champions League group stage brings a first meeting with Chelsea, with the sides each having a point on the board. • While Chelsea shared a goalless draw with last season's UEFA Europa League winners Sevilla at Stamford Bridge in their Group E opener, Krasnodar drew 1-1 at fellow group stage debutants Rennes, Cristian Ramírez scoring their first goal in the UEFA Champions League proper. Form guide Krasnodar • Krasnodar are the seventh Russian club to compete in the UEFA Champions League group stage, and the first newcomers from the country since Rostov in 2016/17. • This is only Krasnodar's seventh season in UEFA competition – they have featured every year since making their debut in the 2014/15 UEFA Europa League. In 2019/20, they were eliminated by Olympiacos in the UEFA Champions League play-offs and went on to finish third in their UEFA Europa League section behind Basel and Getafe, picking up nine points from their six matches (W3 L3). • Third in the Russian for the second season in a row in 2019/20, Krasnodar had only played four European Cup matches before 2020/21. The first ended in a 1-0 home defeat by Porto in the 2019/20 third qualifying round first leg, only for them to then turn round the tie with a remarkable 3-2 victory in Portugal in which they led 3-0 at half-time. However, Olympiacos proved too strong for Murad Musayev's team in the play-offs, winning 4-0 in Greece and 2-1 in Russia. • Krasnodar had no such problems in this season's play-off, winning both legs of their tie against Greek club PAOK 2- 1 with Rémy Cabella scoring the winner in each game. • The Russian club have won their last three home European matches, having been without a victory in the previous five (D2 L3). • Krasnodar are unbeaten in their two previous games against English clubs, drawing 1-1 at home to Everton in the 2014/15 UEFA Europa League group stage – Ari scoring their goal – before a 1-0 away victory. Chelsea • Fourth in the Premier League in 2019/20, this is Chelsea's 17th venture into the UEFA Champions League group stage and a third in four years. The exception came in that 2018/19 campaign, when they won the UEFA Europa League under Maurizio Sarri. • Chelsea's last four UEFA Champions League campaigns have all ended in the round of 16. In 2019/20 they were heavily beaten home (0-3) and away (1-4) by eventual champions Bayern München at that stage. The loss in Munich ended the London club's ten-match unbeaten run away in Europe (W7 D3). • Last season 's side recovered from a Matchday 1 defeat at home to Valencia (0-1) to progress as Group H runners-up with 11 points, finishing behind the Spanish side on head-to-head record. • The Blues have won only one of their last six UEFA Champions League matches (D3 L2). • European champions in 2012 having been runners-up four years earlier, Chelsea have reached the round of 16 on 14 occasions. • The London side have won their UEFA Champions League group 11 times, although they have been runners-up in their section on each of their last two participations. • Chelsea's last trip to Russia brought their first defeat there, a 3-2 loss at Rubin in the 2012/13 UEFA Europa League quarter-final second leg; Rafael Benítez's side prevailed on aggregate having won the first leg 3-1 and went on to claim the trophy. • That was the Blues' first loss against a Russian club having won all their first five matches, including away triumphs in the UEFA Champions League group stage against CSKA Moskva (1-0) in 2004/05 and Spartak Moskva (2-0) in 2010/11. Links and trivia • Has played in England: Rémy Cabella (Newcastle 2014/15) • Cabella helped Newcastle to a 2-1 home Premier League win against Chelsea on 6 December 2014; he was also in the team beaten 2-0 at Stamford Bridge the following month.
