Chelsea Leicester City betting prediction

The home team comes to this 2^nd round after having lost (4‑0) in the 1st round, in a match against Manchester United. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses in away matches; against 10 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss at their stadium. In their last match, for the UEFA Super Cup, they got an away loss against Liverpool by (5‑4), after a penalty shootout. In the last 10 home matches Chelsea has won 8 and tied 2. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and have only turned the score around in 1. there is 1 period that stands out in the last 20 home matches for all competitions: they have suffered 6 of their 13 goals between minutes (46'‑60').

Chelsea comes unmotivated for this match after losing the European Super Cup to Liverpool; however, a decision was required through penalties. We remember that the home team entered the Premier League in the worst way by losing 4-0 to Manchester United. In this match against foxes, coach Frank Lampard must benefit from the maintenance of ball possession and organized attacks. Most likely this team should be organized in 4-3-3 where Pedro, Pulicic and Giroud occupy them the forward positions. Absent from this match due to physical problems are Rudiger, Loftus-Cheek and Hudson-Odoi.

Confirmed Lineup: Kepa Arrizabalaga, César Azpilicueta, Emerson, Kurt Zouma, Andreas Christensen, Christian Pulišić, Mason Mount, N'Golo Kanté, Jorginho, Olivier Giroud, Pedro.
Coach: M. Pochettino Trossero.
