What a game we are going to have! The last game on Tuesday in the English Premier League will be between Chelsea and Liverpool. After 28 games, Chelsea has 10 wins, 8 draws, 10 losses, a total of 38 points and 10th place while Liverpool has 12 wins, 6 draws, 9 losses, a total of 42 points and 8th place. In this game, I'm predicting that Liverpool won't lose.
Chelsea is having a nightmare season. Before the break, Chelsea wasn't able to beat Everton although 2 times London team was leading. Last weekend, was dominating against Aston Villa (2.16 xG vs. 0.92) but lost 0:2! On Sunday night, it was announced that the team has sacked its manager Graham Poter although he was hired only 7 months ago. This means that this season Chelsea has sacked 2 managers! Chelsea struggles a lot at home where they have 2 draws, 2 losses and 1 win in the last 5 games. Overall this season, Chelsea has 6 wins and 4 draws in 14 home games, with a total of 16 goals scored and 12 conceded. Per xG, the team is expected to score 1.63 goals at home and concede 1.36.
Liverpool also can't be happy about their performance. Liverpool crushed Manchester United at home 7:0 but the team lost all the next 3 games. Liverpool had a much better xG against Bournemouth (1.75 vs. 0.86) but lost 0:1, it was followed by a 0:1 loss in Madrid against Real and just a few days ago Liverpool lost against Manchester City 1:4. Liverpool has 3 wins and 3 draws in 14 road games this season, with a total of 14 goals scored and 24 conceded. Per xG, Liverpool is expected to score 1.76 goals on the road (4th best) and concede 1.50 (5th best).
There's a long list of absentees for both teams. A little shorter list is for Liverpool and that's why I'm confident that they won't lose this game. 3 losses on the road in a row is a long streak and the motivation level for Liverpool should be high. Chelsea will have the 1st game under a different manager but it can't change the way the team is playing. It could give something positive but not so big in order to beat Liverpool.
The last 5 meetings have ended with draws, including the last three 0:0 draws. Chelsea has won only 3 out of the last 13 midweek games while Liverpool has won 9 midweek games in a row. It is going to be impossible for Chelsea to get into TOP6 and have a place in the European tournament next season while Liverpool is very close to it. At his point of the season, Liverpool should be more motivated and get at least a point.
我们将有一场值得关注的比赛!周二英超联赛的最后一场比赛将在切尔西和利物浦之间进行。28轮过后,切尔西10胜8平10负积38分排名第10,而利物浦12胜6平9负积42分排名第8。在这场比赛中,我预测利物浦不会输。
切尔西正在经历噩梦般的赛季。国际比赛休息前,尽管伦敦队两次领先,但切尔西未能击败埃弗顿。上周末,主宰阿斯顿维拉(预期进球2.16 xG 对 0.92),但以 0:2 失利!周日晚上,球队宣布解雇其经理格雷厄姆波特,尽管他是在 7 个月前才被聘用的。这意味着本赛季切尔西已经解雇了2位主帅!切尔西在主场表现不佳,近5场比赛2平2负1胜。本赛季整体来看,切尔西14个主场6胜4平,总共打进16球失12球。预期进球切尔西主场进球数为 1.63,失球数为 1.36。
利物浦也不能对他们的表现感到高兴。利物浦在主场7:0大胜曼联,但球队在接下来的3场比赛中全败。利物浦对伯恩茅斯的预期进球更好(1.75 对 0.86),但以 0:1 失利,随后在马德里以 0:1 输给皇马,就在几天前,利物浦以 1:4 输给曼城。利物浦本赛季14场客场比赛3胜3平,总共打进14球失24球。根据预期进球,利物浦预计客场进球数为 1.76(第 4 名),失球数为 1.50(第 5 名)。
两支球队都有一长串缺席名单。利物浦的名单稍微短一些,这就是为什么我相信他们不会输掉这场比赛。连续 3 场客场失利是一个长期的连败,利物浦的动力应该很高。切尔西将在另一位主教练的带领下进行第一场比赛,但这无法改变球队的比赛方式。它可以给一些东西积极但没有那么大才能击败利物浦。
最近5次交锋均以平局告终,其中最近3次0:0战平。切尔西在过去的 13 场周中比赛中只赢了 3 场,而利物浦已经连续赢了 9 场周中比赛。切尔西想要进入并在下赛季的欧战中占有一席之地是不可能的,而利物浦已经非常接近了。在他这个赛季的点上,利物浦应该更有动力并且至少得到一分。
