Chelsea v Maribor – Eden Hazard is 11/2 Betting Odds to Score First

Premier League leaders Chelsea recovered well from the opening Champions League draw with Schalke as the 1-0 triumph over Sporting Lisbon at Estadio Jose Alvalade proved enough to climb to the top of the standings.

The Blues are now set for a double-header against Slovenian champions Maribor, arguably the weakest side in the group, and they will want to secure the first place with another two wins so that they can shift their focus to the league campaign.

With star striker Diego Costa still battling a hamstring problem, Eden Hazard will be relied on to help the Blues break their less illustrious opposition, and with that in mind it is important to note that Ladbrokes has enhanced the price on Hazard to score the first goal from 9/2 to 11/2.
