The picture “Blue” starts as favorite due to the collective and offensive potential that he has under the command of Sarri. Therefore, if the Italian coach uses a mixed number on this occasion, we believe that his highest rank among lines will end up being imposed from the initial stage. Considering this and knowing that the difference of squad will be noticed at some point in the game, we trust that the bet “Chelsea will score in the first half” is interesting to bet. Remember that the visit is a militancy, but limited in its actions.
Chelsea :
The “Blue” team visited Arsenal last weekend at the Emirates Stadium and lost 2-0 after the final whistle. Currently has 47 points in the general table, cutting a streak of several games without losing in the competition (40 goals for and 19 against). With this defeat, the team has complicated their chances of qualifying for the next Champions League, since they have only 3 away from Manchester United and Arsenal. His last official duel was a few days ago when he faced Tottenham at Stamford Bridge for the semifinal round of the Capital One Cup (triumph 2-1 in regular time and classification to the grand final of the competition via penalties).
As a local for the Premier, Chelsea has added acceptable results to some extent, as it has yielded important points in Stamford Bridge (7 wins, 4 draws and 1 fall). Of course, he has converted 21 goals and has received 9 in his goal, proving to be effective when attacking and relatively compact when defending. Comes to beat Fulham 2-0, to beat Manchester City 2-0, to lose 0-1 with Leicester, to equal 0-0 with Southampton and to beat Newcastle 2-1. If we analyze these duels, we can affirm that the “Blues” are capable of the best and the worst in their field, since they defeated the powerful Manchester City and could not win two games that in theory they should have moved forward with ease.
Sheffield Wednesday:
The team arrives toned to this duel after defeating 1-0 to Wigan as a local, reaching to add 35 units in total. Thanks to this victory, it cut a streak of several parties without winning, after equaling 2 and losing the following one that disputed. Now his goal is to continue climbing positions in the table, since he is far from the direct descent. Of course, it is also far from the posts of playoffs, having to win 3 or 4 games in a row to get into that fight. He has made 33 goals and has given 45 on his fence, proving not to be cohesive between the lines.
As a visitor for the Championship, Sheffield Wednesday has registered not encouraging markers so far, product of 4 victories, 2 equalities and 8 falls. He has scored 15 goals and has given 26 on his fence, proving to be unbalanced in this condition. He’s losing 4-2 to Blackburn, going down 2-1 with Swansea, beating Middlesbrough 0-1, equaling West Brom 1-1 and going down 3-0 with Hull. Apparently, the team is not reliable in defense, demonstrating it by giving 10 goals in these 5 starts (bad average).
The last duel between both teams at Stamford Bridge was almost 20 years ago (December 1999). In the absence of recent previous clashes, there is not much to limit in this opportunity.
PREDICTION: Over 2.5 goals @ 1.42
