Chelsea vs. Leeds Prediction, Pick
This bet can be found under the “Match Parlays” tab. Life is good for Chelsea under new manager Liam Rosenior in the Premier League. He has won all four of his league games as Chelsea boss and the Blues sit four points clear of sixth-placed Liverpool in the table. Finishing in the top five this season will be crucial, as England is expected to get five spots in next season’s Champions League.
Leeds are coming off a big win in their fight to avoid relegation. They beat Nottingham Forest 3-1 and are six points ahead of the drop zone. They did struggle in a big-six game right before that, as Arsenal beat them 4-0 at Elland Road. It was never going to be smooth sailing for Leeds all season, but they’ve done a great job to be where they are. Leeds have been much better at home than away, collecting 22 of their 29 points at Elland Road. Only two teams have collected fewer points on the road this season, with those teams being Burnley and Wolves.
With this game being played at Stamford Bridge, I fancy the Blues to collect the points and keep their win streak alive. Leeds have struggled away from home all season, and that should continue on Tuesday. Chelsea have won three of the last five games between the teams, with two or more goals being scored in four of those matches.
Rosenior should make it five wins from five in the league as Chelsea continue their march towards Champions League qualification.
