Betting on Chelsea FC
A last-minute goal at 89 minutes prevented Chelsea from racking up their third consecutive victory in the Premier League. Instead, they had to settle for a disappointing draw against Everton in the last matchday, leaving them in 10th place with a total of 38 points and nine points away from European spots before the international break.
Staying at home could be a crucial factor for the London team to continue their ascent in the standings. They’ve lost only one of their last six official matches at Stanford Bridge. Moreover, they’ve maintained an unbeaten streak of seven games at the venue against Aston Villa, winning six of them.
The draw against Everton also marked the third consecutive official game for the Blues to score at least two goals. It’s a very positive sign considering that they have the fewest goals scored (29) among the top half of the standings.
Possible Lineup (3-4-3): Kepa Arrizabalaga; Wesley Fofana, Kalidou Koulibaly, Benoît Badiashile; Reece James, Enzo Fernandez, Mateo Kovacic, Ben Chilwell; Mykhailo Mudryk, Joao Felix, Kai Havertz.
Betting on Aston Villa FC
On their end, Aston Villa has successfully overcome a tough stretch of three games in early February in which they conceded 11 goals. Since then, they’ve remained unbeaten in their next four games and kept a clean sheet in three of them (three wins and one draw).
Their most recent game during that stretch was against Bournemouth on March 18th, where they controlled the pace from the start and earned a resounding 3-0 victory thanks to goals from Douglas Luiz, Jacob Ramsey, and Emiliano Buendía. With that win, Villa extended their streak of scoring in 14 consecutive Premier League games.
Meanwhile, Unai Emery’s team has also done a great job on the road, only losing one of their last six domestic away games.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Emiliano Martinez; Ashley Young, Ezri Konsa, Tyrone Mings, Lucas Digne; John McGinn, Douglas Luiz; Leon Bailey, Emiliano Buendia, Jacob Ramsey; Ollie Watkins.
JefeBet Prediction
Although Aston Villa’s offense hasn’t put up extraordinary numbers, they’ve been consistent in recent months and are more than capable of giving the home team trouble. The local defense has allowed at least one goal in five of their last six league matches.
Similarly, Chelsea is starting to show efficiency in their recent performances, scoring in their last four official matches and netting five goals in their last two Premier League games.
With both teams in great offensive form, we expect to see an open and high-scoring match. That’s why, at JefeBet, we believe that both teams will score at least once in this Chelsea vs Aston Villa match.
Prediction: Both teams score: Yes (CHE 2-1 AST).
