Chelsea will host Everton and close Saturday’s action in the Premier League 28th round. The home side looks forward to staying on the winning track while the visitors seek a getaway from the danger zone.
Chelsea Preview & Team News
Chelsea, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after a 3-1 Premier League triumph against Leicester City. It was the Blues’ second straight win, but they are still far from the continental qualification zone. An interesting trait of recent Chelsea games is the high number of scores with nil in them. From their previous six matches leading up to this one, in as many as 5 of them, a bet on BTTS would’ve lost. Putting that to one side, we’ll just have to find out if that trend might be sustained in this next match or not. Thiago Silva (Ligament Injury), Edouard Mendy (Shoulder Injury), Raheem Sterling (Hamstring Injury), Mason Mount (bruised pelvis), and Armando Broja (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) are not available for Chelsea coach Graham Potter.
Everton Preview & Team News
Everton heads into the meeting following a 1-0 Premier League win against Brentford in their most recent match. That success dragged them out of the relegation zone, but the Toffees are not safe yet. It has become apparent that Everton has suffered from a lack of goals in their past six games, recording a disappointing return of just 4. In those matches, The Toffees have also seen the collective goal aggregate of their opponents equals 10. The away side needs to sustain a trend of good results to secure their Premier League spot next season as well. Everton manager Sean Dyche has multiple availability issues to deal with. Andros Townsend (Cruciate Ligament Injury) and Andy Lonergan (Knee Problems) are not able to play.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Chelsea has improved its form, but we are still not confident in them enough. They might book the fourth straight win, but it will be a close game. Looking into the odds, we are going to dip into the Asian Handicap market and back the visitors there.
Goals Market Prediction
These two sides haven’t produced many efficient matches this season, while their h2h clashes have also been pretty tight. Therefore, we don’t think the crowd at Stamford Bridge will see more than who goals in total.
