Chelsea vs Burnley Prediction & Betting tips
Monday night Chelsea in the Premier League receives a visit from Burnley. The Blues are not allowed to lose points on Stamford Bridge because Chelsea is still in the battle for a place in the top four of the Premier League. The season is ready for Burnley, so The Clarets can play against Chelsea without pressure.
Chelsea:
For a club like Chelsea it is of vital importance that the next season takes part in the Champions League, because the Europa League does not make them hot or cold at Chelsea. The Europa League is not only uninteresting for Chelsea because of the opponents The Blues has to play against, but also from a financial point of view the Europa League is much less attractive than the Champions League. In all likelihood, Chelsea will play the Europa League final, but then the earnings are in stark contrast to what clubs like Manchester City, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United are getting in these months in Champions League prize money.
In short: Maurizio Sarri’s first season at Chelsea is only successful if he and The Blues qualify for the billiard ball. If not, Sarri did not live up to expectations in his first year at Stamford Bridge. In any case, Chelsea still has two ways that lead to Champions League qualification, namely a top four ranking in the Premier League and / or winning the Europa League. Last Thursday Chelsea won 4-3 against Slavia Prague in the quarterfinals of the Europa League and in the semifinals the diptych with Eintracht Frankfurt will be waiting soon.
Burnley:
At Burnley, they have known for a few weeks that they will also play in the Premier League next season and since then The Clarets have taken the form. Burnley has 39 points and that is no less than fifteen fewer than Burnley had last season after 38 games, but The Clarets will not be dissatisfied with this season. This is mainly due to the fact that the Sean Dyche team had a very bad first half of the season in which Burnley was named one of the relegation candidates. Since the New Year, Burnley has started to perform better and that was necessary.
Burnley earned nine points in the last three matches. After a 2-0 win over Wolverhampton, a 1-3 win at AFC Bournemouth, Burnley was 2-0 too strong for relegation candidate Cardiff City last Saturday. Chris Wood scored both hits against the club from Wales and the attacker from New Zealand was no less than six times accurate in his last ten games. For a Burnley attacker, those are of course excellent figures, especially when you consider that Wood found it just four times in the previous 24 games.
