Frank Lampard’s side opened their Group E account with a goalless home draw against Sevilla last week, with the Blues tightening up at the back after a few defensive lapses early on this season.
Chelsea continued that mean streak with another stalemate away to Manchester United at the weekend, but Lampard will be looking for more attacking output at Krasnodar.

Head to head (h2h) history and results
The two sides have never met before in any official Uefa competition.
Matchday 2 of the UEFA Champions League sees Chelsea hit the road to Russia to take on Krasnodar in Group A play Wednesday. The Blues opened up the competition with a poor scoreless draw at home against Sevilla, while Krasnodar went on the road to France and took some a valuable point at Rennes. A loss here for either side could potentially put them three points back of second place with four games to go.
