Chelsea vs Leicester Prediction & Betting tips
A repeat of the FA Cup final on Tuesday evening: Chelsea play in London against Leicester City. This time, a Champions League ticket is the stake for both teams. The winner of this game is almost certain of Champions League football next season.
Chelsea:
Current number four Chelsea will have to beat Leicester City on Tuesday-evening if it wants to keep an eye on a Champions League ticket. Chelsea are two points behind Leicester City and the goal difference of both teams is almost equal. With Liverpool (currently fifth at a short distance from The Blues), Chelsea has to deal with an extra competitor in the remaining games. When Chelsea wins against Leicester City on Tuesday evening, it will have everything in its own hands. With Aston Villa out, it will also meet a team that no longer plays for anything in the last round of play.
Chelsea did not manage to take the first main prize under Thomas Tuchel on Saturday evening. In the FA Cup final (watched by some 21,000 supporters) at Wembley, Chelsea lost 0-1 against The Foxes. It must be said that Chelsea certainly did not play with the strongest possible line-up against Leicester City. During the final, Tuchel also kept the game of this Tuesday evening in the back of his mind. The only question is what effect the lost FA Cup final will have on the confidence of the Chelsea squad.
Leicester City:
It was a party last weekend in Leicester. On Saturday evening, Leicester City won the FA Cup for the first time in club history – more than five years after the Premier League victory. Brendan Rodgers’ team thus won 0-1 against Chelsea through a great long shot by Youri Tielemans. Leicester got away well in the final phase when a Chelsea goal was narrowly rejected due to offside. In any case, the fact that Leicester City has won the FA Cup is an achievement in itself.
It could be a completely big party week in East Midlands anyway. Leicester City can also qualify for next season’s Champions League in the coming days. Last season, Leicester City missed Champions League qualification in the final round. It wants to prevent that now. With two points ahead of Chelsea, they have a Champions League ticket in their own hands at Leicester. Even a draw at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday evening won’t be a bad result. With Chelsea away and Tottenham Hotspur at home, Leicester has the most difficult schedule of the three teams still competing for those coveted Champions League tickets. On the other hand, Leicester City is in the best position and has complete control over it.
