Chelsea vs Morecambe Prediction & Betting tips
The cup is already very attractive, but the FA Cup has provided countless goose bumps in its history, which goes back well over 100 years. After all, almost every amateur club has the opportunity to take part in the concert of the greats and experience an absolute career highlight. It will be such a game for the guests on Saturday afternoon at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea receives the fourth division club Morecambe.
Unlike in Germany, the underdog does not necessarily have home rights, but the lot decides where the game is played. Despite the current crisis in the blues, the favorite role can of course be found with the Premier League club.
A lucrative profit is therefore only possible if either a bet is made on the blatant underdog or one looks at the alternative betting markets. The following preview should shed some light on the darkness. In the football England tip category this weekend, our authors will provide detailed information on the most exciting games in the third FA Cup main round.
Chelsea :
From Hero to Zero? Frank Lampard’s signing in the summer of 2019 was viewed very critically, but the former world-class player convinced the Blues and formed a team from a young team that reached the Champions League.
After the transfer ban ended, Chelsea went on a shopping spree and the squad was massively strengthened with spending around 250 million euros. The expectations increased significantly and basically Lampard had to be measured by the title win.
The season got off to a promising start, but the team from London is now in crisis. Only one of the last six league games could be won. Instead of dreaming of winning the title, Chelsea only ranks ninth in the current Premier League table.
The successor is already being hotly debated in the media. Thomas Tuchel is considered a candidate, but due to his “more difficult character” he should not be considered the ideal solution. The Austrian Ralph Hasenhüttl is also associated with Chelsea by the tabloids.
The uncertainty at Chelsea can be clearly felt and any ease in the offensive game has been lost in recent weeks. Timo Werner’s appearances are almost symptomatic (including his corner failure last weekend). The former Leipzig player has not scored in ten games and is longing for a sense of achievement.
Frank Lampard (contract until 2022) will certainly rotate a little, but a complete rotation is not to be expected. In the event of failure against a no-name club, Lampard could be fired for good. Rather, it will be important to gain self-confidence for the tasks ahead. So if the opportunity arises to win a runaway victory, Chelsea will not give up. Thus, at Chelsea against Morecambe, a prediction of a high handicap in favor of the blues appears lucrative.
Morecambe :
One year after its 100th anniversary, the Lancashire team is facing the biggest game in club history. The club acted in the amateur field of English football for almost 90 years. The club achieved professional status for the first time in the 2007/08 season and has since played in the fourth-tier League Two.
Since the first promotion, the club has always held in League Two. Only in the 2009/10 season was the team even able to dream of third-rate League One as fourth in the promotion play-offs.
The past season was a bitter disappointment, and in November 2019 long-term coach Jim Bentley (in office since 2010) was relieved of his duties after more than 3,000 days. Even with his successor, Derek Adams, things didn’t really go better and in the final accounts Morecambe was only 22nd out of 24.
This season, however, the team is no longer recognizable and after 20 league games the team has already collected more points than in the entire previous season. With 34 points, Morecambe is in the extended top of League Two.
It is worth mentioning the fact that Morecambe is the only team in the top ten of League Two with a negative goal difference. Overall, the defense had to accept a proud 30 goals. This makes the Morecambe defense one of the weakest in the league.
Since Chelsea cannot afford to underestimate the underdog, given the weak Morecambe defense, it is very possible that the underdog will slide into a debacle.
After all, the offensive knows how to convince, which has scored at least once in 18 of the 20 league games. Should this also succeed at Stamford Bridge, the tip on goals from both teams with high odds attracts Chelsea against Morecambe.
However, the team has not been on duty since Boxing Day due to several positive cases. Morecambe was only allowed to resume training on Wednesday. Given these circumstances, a sensation is unimaginable.
