Liverpool vs Chelsea Prediction & Betting tips
It’s the big football festivals that electrify the crowds. Of course, the European Supercup is not given the utmost importance, at least not nearly as much as the titles in the Champions League or in the Europa League, but who is in this final, which of course wants to win it.
There will be a purely English duel this year, when Liverpool and Chelsea will face each other. Usually, the winner of the premier class in this final is regarded as a favorite. This is how it is this Wednesday, because the Reds by Jürgen Klopp are apparently already in good early form on the way.
Liverpool have already won the European Supercup three times, most recently in 2005, when they prevailed on penalties against CSKA Moscow. Chelsea won this trophy in 1998, when the Blues retained the upper hand in the final against Real Madrid. For the first time ever, two English clubs will meet in the UEFA Supercup.
In general, before the match between Liverpool and Chelsea, the bookmakers are predicting a Reds victory. In a single finale, however, everything is always possible, especially when two such highly decorated and starred teams face each other.
By the way, there is another novelty in this final, because with the Frenchwoman Stephanie Frappart for the first time a referee will conduct a competitive match in the men’s European Cup. Let’s hope that the gentlemen on the lawn will not make it too difficult for her.
After impressions we won on Matchday 1 of the Premier League, in the match between Liverpool and Chelsea, our tip would be on a Champions League success. We can also imagine that both open-faced teams will go into this final and we will see many goals.
Above all, the Reds are known for playing forward unconditionally. The spectators in Turkey would be treated to an absolute spectacle. The final kick-off for the UEFA Supercup between Liverpool and Chelsea at Vodafone Park in Istanbul will take place on 14.08.2019 at 20:00.
Liverpool:
We save the story of a possible final curse from Jürgen Klopp at this point. Of course, the German coach has spoiled some finals, but he has also won some titles and is after all the reigning champion in the Champions League with the Reds.
Liverpool know how to win titles and maybe the Kloppo team can prove it again on Wednesday. After all, Liverpool is currently one of the best teams in the world, which will now be demonstrated in the final of the European Supercup again.
The start could hardly have been better in the Premier League. Already last Friday, the Reds in Norwich were guests and had cleared all doubts about the constitution of the team already at break. At half-time, Liverpool led through goals from Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, DivoK Origi and an own goal 4-0. In the second section, the Reds were able to take the pace out. In the end, it was enough for a never endangered 4-1 victory.
This puts Liverpool back in the top flight of the Premier League after the first matchday. That should be a reason to test the odds of winning the LFC in the duel between Liverpool and Chelsea. Jürgen Klopp does not see things so clearly.
He rather expects an open game in which it will depend on who has better prepared for this moment. Nevertheless, the Supercup is a title that Jürgen Klopp is still missing and he would love to bring home on Wednesday.
Personally, it looks almost perfect in Liverpool. There is only a tiny problem on the goalie position. Allison Becker has injured his calf in Norwich and will be out for four to six weeks. Adrian will represent him.
Nevertheless, the Reds continue to look for a keeper, but the contract must be without, because the transfer window in England is already closed. However, at the moment this is the only problem that Jürgen Klopp has to deal with personally.
Chelsea:
There are teams that were really active in the transfer market this summer and have signed many new stars. However, Chelsea FC have been banned for a transfer ban, so the team should be a little weaker this season than last season.
Gary Cahill and David Luiz will be hard to replace on the defensive. The departure of Eden Hazard, one of the best players on the planet, will not be able to compensate.
The fact that Frank Lampard’s side would not be in the shape of the coach’s dream was made clear last weekend when Chelsea had to play Manchester United for the season opener at the Theater of Dreams and was badly beaten.
At break it was 0: 1 and still was the hope for at least one point available. In the end, the blues were disassembled with 0: 4 and find themselves after the first match in the ranking on a relegation place again. In this condition, the chance of winning the UEFA Supercup should be rudimentary.
After all, the blues were self-critical enough to know that no trophy can be won with such a feat. Cesar Azpilicueta therefore demands that every player take more responsibility on Wednesday.
However, the defender also knows that the opponent is currently enormously strong and that Chelsea will only have a chance to prevail in the final over the fight. Nevertheless, before the final between Liverpool and Chelsea, the forecast continues in the direction of the Reds.
We assume that Frank Lampard will make some personnel changes compared to Sunday. Marcos Alonso, N’Golo Kante, Olivier Giroud or Christian Pulisic are all candidates we expect in the starting XI. However, Frank Lampard will have to do without some strong players.
Callum Hudson-Odoi, Rubens Loftus-Cheek, Antonio Ruediger, Marco van Ginkel or Willian will all be missing. We are curious to see if Frank Lampard manages to get his team up and personal again.
