Betting on Chelsea F.C.
Even with the great additions the team made during the winter transfer window, Chelsea is still not able to get back on its feet, and it arrives to this match after losing 2-0 to Tottenham on the previous matchday. In fact, that result extended Chelsea’s winless streak to six matches, in which the team was only able to score once.
Graham Potter’s team, who has won just one of its 11 matches played in 2023, is 10th in the standings and now needs to start winning three points if it wants to claim one of the places that give access to European competition.
Actually, ten points separate the Blues from the European competitions and the relegation zone. The main cause of the team’s poor performance has been its offense, which is the worst among the top 11 teams in the standings, as it has managed to score just 23 goals in 24 matches played.
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): Kepa Arrizabalaga; Reece James, Benoit Badiashile, Kalidou Koulibaly, Ben Chilwell; Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Enzo Fernandez; Moni Madueke, Joao Felix, Mykhailo Mudryk; Kai Havertz.
Betting on Leeds United
Leeds achieved a valuable 1-0 win over Southampton in its league opener to climb out of the relegation places. However, bein only one point above the relegation zone, the team knows it must stay on the winning track if it is not to suffer in the final stretch of the campaign.
The Whites will arrive to this match after losing 2-0 to Fulham in midweek in an FA Cup match, an elimination that the team could look back on favorably considering that it can now focus entirely on its main objective: achieving permanence.
If the team is able to get a positive result in its visit to London, it will need to improve its away performance, as it has failed to win in any of its last six Premier League away matches. Moreover, Leeds will face this clash on the back of five defeats in a row at Stamford Bridge. Indeed, the last win the team has managed to achieve there took place in May 1999.
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): Illan Meslier; Luke Ayling, Robin Koch, Maximilian Wöber, Junior Firpo; Tyler Adams, Weston McKennie; Crisencio Summerville, Brenden Aaronson, Wilfried Gnonto; Patrick Bamford.
JefeBet Prediction
Although Leeds is one of the teams that allows the most goals in the Premier League, Chelsea’s attacking problems have arisen against any team, so it will have a good chance to redeem itself in that area in this match.
However, the visiting team is no goal machine either, and Chelsea at least has done things solidly defensively, allowing more than one goal in only two of its last nine league matches.
To sum up, we expect this to be a very close and hard-fought match, but with few clear chances in both areas, resulting in a low-scoring game.
Prediction: Under (CHE 1-0 LEE).
