Chelsea 3/4 to beat Leeds in Saturday’s Premier League matchup
Competition: Premier League
Market: Chelsea win
Odds: 3/4 @ 888sport
Looking to extend on what has been their eye-catching purple patch, Chelsea will make the trip to a struggling Leeds on Saturday lunchtime.
Starting with the hosts, while Leeds might have marked their Premier League return in an impressive fashion, they are in the midst of an extended blip. In their 27 top-flight contests so far this season, they have recorded 11 wins, two draws and 14 defeats, scoring 43 and conceding 46 in return. Although The Whites might have collected a points tally of 35 and still find themselves just three points adrift of breaking into the top-half, it should be noted that Leeds hold the second-worst defensive record in the division. As for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a 2-0 defeat against West Ham on the road, Saturday’s hosts have suffered back-to-back defeats and they have also lost four of their last five Premier League matchups. It should also be highlighted that The Whites have drawn a blank in three of their last four top-flight contests.
As for the visitors, only continuing on what has been a real purple patch, Chelsea find themselves sat in pole position to secure another top-four finish. In their 28 Premier League matchups so far this season, they have recorded 14 wins, eight draws and six defeats, scoring 44 and conceding 25 in return. Along with collecting a points tally of 50 and opening this weekend’s fixtures sat holding a two-point buffer from dropping out of the Champions League spots, it should also be noted that The Blues hold the second-best defensive record in the division. As for their recent run of results, Chelsea were last seen picking up a 2-0 win against Everton and they’re unbeaten in each of their 12 contests across all formats since Thomas Tuchel took charge. Given the huge recent gulf in class, we’re backing an away victory on Saturday lunchtime.
