On Sunday, from 16:30pm, Chelsea receives the visit of the vice-champion Liverpool, in the 6th round of the Premier League. The game on Stamford Bridge will bring us profits with betting on corners, but the second half goals can be inspired by the weekend.
Frank Lampard faces a very difficult duel with the inventive team of Jurgen Klopp. Hosts will miss Emerson, Loftus-Cheek, Rudiger, Van Ginkel, Hudson-Odoi, Kante and Mount (suspended), making selection a difficult process in the blue-white camp. Liverpool comes to Stamford Bridge without Alisson, Clyne, Origi and Keita, but the “Cormorants” have a very solid first 11.
Chelsea has been involved in spectacular matches throughout this season, and the victory with Norwich (5-2) continued the series of our winning bets on goals. However, only two of the last eight straight duels between Chelsea and Liverpool have scored more than two goals, and caution has marked the tactical plan of managers in recent years. We expect a similar scenario and the scheduled duel in London, even though Tammy Abraham can be dangerous to the hosts. The goalscorer of the championship is favorite to enter, along with the guest stars, Salah and Mane.
Chelsea opened the scoring in four consecutive Premier League stages, but Van Dijk’s defense will be hard to beat in this derby. Liverpool is a team that opens the game after the break, and 8 of its last 11 goals have been achieved in the last half hour. It’s a good indicator for our bets too! Liverpool have a maximum score after 5 stages (15-4 goal), while Chelsea are trying to advance in the standings, where they are currently 7th (goal 11-11). Last stage, the “Cormorants” won in front of Newcastle, at home, score 3-1. The last match with Chelsea took place in the summer, in the Super Cup, when Liverpool imposed on penalties.
Before this match, the direct duels between the two teams brought an interesting balance: in four disputed parties two draws were registered and one victory by each side. Surely Chelsea has the ability to produce a surprise at this stage.
