Leicester vs Chelsea Free Betting Tips

Matchday 18 late this Tuesday! At the King Power Stadium, Leicester will host Chelsea for this week’s best poster. After being on the Premier League podium for a while, the Blues went through a difficult month of December and are now 7th with 29 points, already 9 lengths from the podium. Across the Channel, the position of coach Frank Lampard would even be weakened, while the club had, let us not forget, agreed to enormous financial efforts in order to offer the former glory of the club the players that he wanted (Werner, Havertz, Ziyech, Thiago Silva in particular). The bar must therefore be quickly straightened and no doubt that a result on the lawn of Leicester would be a good start!

Because despite the very strong competition that exists in this Premier League season, the Foxes are currently 3rd in the championship. With 35 points, 6 more than Chelsea, they are ahead of teams such as Liverpool (4th, 34 pts), Tottenham (5th, 33 pts) or even Everton (6th, 32 pts) and seem able to mingle with the fight for the title, or the Champions League at a minimum. On a good streak of 6 games without defeat, Jamie Vardy’s teammates are nevertheless much more comfortable on the road than at home this season. So beware of the Blues who are never as dangerous as when it comes to countering their opponents!

Key stats for the match Leicester vs Chelsea

Leicester is struggling at home: only 4 wins, for as many defeats and 1 draw in 9 games.
The Foxes have only made 3 clean sheets at King Power Stadium.
Since the beginning of December, Chelsea’s record has been far from optimal: 4 wins, 2 draws, 4 defeats in their last 10 games in all competitions.
The Blues have scored in 8 of their last 9 away games in all competitions.
Frank Lampard’s men have scored in their last 8 Premier League games, but have only achieved 2 clean sheets in the same period.
Leicester failed to win when one of the top 7 has shown up on their turf so far: 0-2 to Everton, 2-2 to Manchester United.

Among bookmakers, Chelsea is given favourites despite the current ranking quite clearly in favour of Leicester. The fickleness of the Foxes at home certainly has something to do with it, even though their record on the road is impressive (7W, 1D, 1L). The Blues are not in the shape of their lives, however, which is why everything seems to be able to happen in this meeting with the undecided outcome. We expect an open match, with goals on each side! Both teams to score.
