Liverpool vs Chelsea Prediction & Betting tips
The first derby of round 21 in England, Premier League, is played on Saturday at 12:30, on Anfield Road, where Liverpool will receive the visit of Chelsea. Both teams are equal in points, 28 on each side and have a modest weakness so far, being in danger of missing the first positions in the ranking. Four direct confrontations took place last season between the two teams, the two in the championship ended in a draw, 1-1 in the first leg at Anfield Road and 2-2 in the second leg at Stamford Bridge, and the other two confrontations took place in the FA Cup and EFL finals, where Liverpool prevailed each time in penalty kicks, after at the end of the 120 minutes of play, the score was equal 0-0 in both finals.
Liverpool:
Liverpool occupies the 9th place in the ranking and started the year 2023 in the worst possible way, losing both matches in the championship. In the first match, Liverpool was defeated 3-1 away by Brentford, and in the last stage, Liverpool conceded three goals again, this time on Brighton’s field. The only positive aspect for Liverpool this year is for the moment the qualification in the last 16 of the FA Cup, but even here they needed two matches to get past Wolves, managing to win the second match 1-0, after the first game had ended in a tie, score 2-2.
Chelsea:
On the other hand, Chelsea is in the same weak situation as Liverpool, being in 10th place in the ranking. Last stage, Chelsea achieved an important victory against Crystal Palace at home, score 1-0, the only goal being scored by Kai Havertz. It was the first victory this year for Chelsea, after the draw with Nottingham and the defeats with Manchester City and Fulham. Unfortunately for its fans, Chelsea was quickly eliminated from the FA Cup, where it had the misfortune to meet Manchester City in the first round, a competition in which it played the final last season, losing to today’s opponent.
