WBA – Chelsea: 12th May 2017

It’s a hard game for the Londoners, who come in a 3-0 straight ahead in front of Middlesbrough. WBA has a very aggressive defense and difficult to overcome, even though Tony Pulis’s momentary form does not impress. Chelsea’s low share makes us believe that the Londoners will be able to play their game and the stakes are enormous: the title in England!

In the last six straight duels, Chelsea lost only once, still in the race in 2015 (0-3). Otherwise we saw three other London victories (including the one in the tour, 1-0) and two draws, 2-2 and 1-1. Far from being an easy match, Chelsea knows he has to close the defense perfectly to avoid being surprised, and Antonio Conte knows best how to do that.

WBA is in a weak form and, since he learned he will not fall from the first half of the leaderboard, he started to lose points on the console. WBA has 4 defeats and two draws in the last 6 stages, without the white-blue markers in 5 of them! The last stage was 2-2 on Burnley’s field, a good score, which brought the “eagles” to the top. Even so, it’s hard to believe Pulis’s rigid team can cope with Chelsea.

Chelsea meets an arrogant defensive

There have been at least 3 goals scored in 9 of the last 10 London games, and Chelsea has scored at least 3 goals in each of the last three rounds. This time, in front of the WBA defender, Diego Costa and Hazard will have some more work. There will not be a big game match, because WBA can not score and the hosts will barricade in their own.
