Chelsea vs Leicester Prediction & Betting tips
Chelsea wants to make amends after the shame against the Red Devils for the season opener. With 0: 4, the Londoners were humbled at Old Trafford. At the same time failed the debut of Frank Lampard in maximum form. The next defeat followed last Wednesday evening at the UEFA Super Cup against Liverpool.
The bankruptcy was only very close, because the decision for the Reds fell on penalties. The six-time champion had to pull in the summer with Eden Hazard his creative control center in midfield and has various injured or recently recovered actors on.
Lampard has a lot of work to do right at the beginning of his career. Leicester also started with a goalless draw against Wolverhampton. It was also not a dream match for the foxes who dominated the game, but the Wolves held despite the double burden of the qualifiers for the Europa League, especially defensively well against.
The team is relatively unchanged from the previous year, with the exception of the departure of Harry Maguire in defense to Manchester United. In the match between Chelsea and Leicester, the tip is that both sides will be scrounging at Stamford Bridge at least once.
The home side will play offensively on their own terrain to score the first points and on the other hand the visitors will have a very good offense. In addition, the rebuilt defensive blues acts in these days with six goals in the first two competitive games anything but solid. The Chelsea vs Leicester Prediction is alluded to with five units.
Chelsea:
The third of the preseason expects a difficult season. The departure of Belgian national player Eden Hazard to Real Madrid brought a lot of money into the box, but the sporting loss on the pitch is no less enormous.
Easy to read, that the 28-year-old scored 15 goals in the past season and prepared 16 goals. Thus, Hazard was involved in almost half of all Torerfolge by the Blues.
The fact that his desire to change a very long time on deaf ears at Chelsea encountered, is from the point of view of the Londoner absolutely understandable and his absence was already negative at the season opener. No hit succeeded and the next construction site was visible with the shaky defense.
With the Brazilian David Luiz (Arsenal FC) is an important cornerstone of the defense network from the last few years is no longer available. On top, German international Antonio Rüdiger was defensively defensive due to an injury and may not play again.
In addition, the Pensioners currently have a well-stocked hospital: The British Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are two other prominent examples from the current medical record of the blues.
The Londoners have recently been coached by Frank Lampard. The club icon played for 13 years at Chelsea and this with great success. Three championship titles and the Champions League were brought in his time. As a coach, he is still at the beginning of his career. So Lampard previously trained only Derby County in the Championship.
The Rams led the 41-year-old but in his first season equal to the playoff final for promotion to the Premier League, but where finally prevailed the Birmingham of Aston Villa. In the summer Lampard succeeded to Maurizio Sarri, who now holds the sporting responsibility at Juventus.
Leicester:
The fans of the foxes went a little disappointed on the last weekend the journey home or the nearest pub. Against the Wolves, who had to play three days earlier in Armenia in qualifying for participation in the group stage of the Europa League, jumped only a 0-0.
The game was clearly dominated, but in front of the opponent box succeeded only slightly. This is surprising, because in the attack section Leicester has this season not only about Jamie Vardy as Torgaranten, but also about Ayoze Perez. The Spanish striker came from the Magpies, where he scored the most goals in the last season.
By the way, the preparation was hopeful: in this Leicester presented itself very stable and defeated among others in the last test match the fourth of Serie A, Atalanta Bergamo.
The somewhat weak idea of the last matchday can best be explained by the fact that the team felt too much pressure due to the numerous advance lobes in view of the objectively very strong squad and cramped in front of their own backdrop. This falls before the next game for the troupe of coach Brendan Rodgers but significantly lower.
The captains are as hosts and third of last season, the favorite, and see themselves now after the violent upset bust of high expectations suspended. This also reflects the Chelsea against Leicester odds, which turn out pretty much in favor of the Lampard Elf.
