Match Overview
Chelsea enter this matchup with little margin for error as they cling to one of their final chances to crack the top eight in the league stage and secure a direct berth to the round of 16. Sitting on 10 points, the Blues trail the final automatic qualification spot by two in a crowded race, making three points essential while also keeping an eye on results elsewhere.
That urgency puts the pressure squarely on Chelsea to deliver against Pafos FC, a side that has proven far more competitive than expected. Despite being labeled underdogs, Pafos arrive with confidence, believing a positive result would keep their hopes alive of reaching the final Matchday with a realistic shot at a round-of-32 place.
