Chelsea vs Manchester Utd Prediction & Betting tips
The bomb exploded on Valentine’s Day and Manchester City’s two-year ban on international competitions became public. A real bang that whirls through the starting situation in the strongest league in the world.
If there is no suspension, suddenly fifth place is enough to qualify for the UEFA Champions League. The betting base table service shows our readers that the rapidly rising star Sheffield United would suddenly play in the concert of the big ones.
However, there are some big names close behind the Sheffield blades and again smell a chance for the premier class. This is definitely also true for the city rivals of the Citizens: the Red Devils.
At the end of the 26th match day, the Solskjaer team is involved in the top game. Chelsea and Manchester United face off at Stamford Bridge. In addition to the prediction for the top game, the remaining games from the mother country of football can be found in the betting tips category Premier League.
Chelsea is also one of the beneficiaries of the judgment, who was recently also given a transfer ban due to violations of the financial fair play. The Lampard-Elf, current fourth in the table, now has a bigger lead over the competition.
Although the Lampard protégés let feathers last, the home side are considered by the bookmakers as a surprisingly clear favorite. The game starts on Monday evening at 20:00 p.m.
Chelsea:
Given the serious departures and the lack of opportunity to react in the summer transfer window, fourth place after 25 match days is an outstanding result for Chelsea. Frank Lampard was by no means to be envied, but a virtue was created out of necessity and the many young actors paid back the trust.
Performance fluctuations were definitely to be expected in the blues and many experts would not have believed Chelsea to actually keep in the race for the premier class. The lead over the competition was much more pleasant, but in the past few weeks the shape curve has been pointing downwards.
Only two of the last six league games ended in a Chelsea win; recently the blues team stayed three times in a row without success. The defensive continues to push and has not yet shown the usual stability. Most recently, goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga fell victim and Lampard chose 38-year-old Willy Caballero. The Argentinian is to guard the blues box until the end of the season.
The Blues camp is not entirely satisfied. The home record (5-3-4) does not necessarily speak for the clear favorite role. We do not share the opinion of the best bookmakers and between Chelsea and Manchester United the forecast of the home win seems too risky.
Manchester United:
The English record champions Manchester United ranked ninth in the Premier League after 25 match days. Nevertheless, the fans’ criticism is not directed at head coach Ole-Gunnar Solskjaer, but at the club management, which has been mismanaging for years. By excluding city rivals Manchester City, however, the theoretical chance of renewed CL qualification increased. Fifth place is “only” four points away.
However, goals are required for the Red Devils to be able to report back in the battle for the premier class. Most recently, Manchester United remained three in a row without scoring. At least the third defeat could be fended off against the strong Wolves, but the goalless draw in front of the home crowd is still a disappointment.
Monday’s game against Chelsea will have a completely different character. Against the Wolves, Manchester had hardly any room ahead and acted without ideas for long distances. The pace of the offensive players could not be exploited. At Stamford Bridge, however, there will be these options.
The Red Devils’ hopeful “February balance sheet” also gives hope. Manchester United have lost only two of their last 61 Premier League games in February (most recently in 2008).
