There is not much left to live an exciting encounter between the squads of Malmö and Chelsea for the fourth matchday of the UEFA Champions League. The Swedish team wants to put an end to their bad streak in this competition, especially against the reigning champions of the tournament like the 'Blues'. That's why they trust Sergio Peña to start in this match.
Through Malmö's social media, the starting eleven of the team for the match against Chelsea at the Eleda Stadion in Sweden was announced. Among the list, the name of the Peruvian Sergio Peña is seen, who wants to take advantage of this moment to show his good game against a favorite like the 'Blues'.
Malmö's lineup is as follows: Johan Dahlin, Soren Rieks, Erdal Rakip, Sergio Peña, Antonio Colak, Anel Ahmedhodzic, Bonke Innocent, Lasse Nielsen, Franz Brorsson, Joinge Berget, and Sebastian Nanasi.
On Chelsea's side, it is clear that they will not hold back as they want to secure their place in the Champions League round of 16. Thomas Tuchel's lineup will be: Mendy, Christensen, Thiago Silva, Rudiger, Azpilicueta, Loftus-Cheek, Jorginho, Alonso, Ziyech, Havertz, and Hudson-Odoi.
It should be noted that a defeat for Malmö would leave Sergio Peña's team out of the fight for the Champions League round of 16. Likewise, it would complicate their aspirations to obtain third place to face the Europa League.
What time does Malmö vs. Chelsea play?
The match between Malmö and Chelsea is scheduled for this Tuesday, November 2nd, starting at 12:45 PM Peru time (5:45 PM GMT).
