Chelsea

England

Current form

Chelsea under the leadership of Enzo Maresca pleases its fans, and successfully manages to perform in all tournaments. In the Premier League, the Londoners occupy fifth place after nine rounds and are only one point behind the top 4. In the Conference League, the "aristocrats" started with two confident victories over Gent (4:2) and Panathinaikos (4:1) and are among the leaders. Chelsea start in the League Cup was more than confident - they crushed Barrow with a score of 5:0 in the previous round. It is obvious that the Londoners' attack is now on track, few manage to contain the same Palmer. In addition, the depth of the bench allows Maresca to rotate without losing the quality of the game.

Tip and bets

1.95Chelsea pass

We don't expect Newcastle to take revenge for their recent defeat in the Premier League today. Chelsea have gained decent momentum since the start of the season, Maresca has excellent opportunities to rotate the squad, which he clearly uses, as he has already managed to choose his main line-up of players. First of all, due to their advantage in attack, the "aristocrats" are able to get through to the quarter-finals following the upcoming meeting. Taking into account the odds, we are betting that it is possible that not in regular time, but still the Londoners will go further in the League Cup.

Our prediction is Chelsea to win at odds of 1.95

Bet on total

Chelsea plays boldly in attack and is not afraid to concede. In the last six matches involving the Londoners, an exchange of goals was recorded, which we do not exclude today. Moreover, such a bet played in the six previous face-to-face matches.

Second bet - both teams to score with odds of 1.58

Bet on the first half

It is impossible not to notice that in eight of the last ten personal meetings in the first half there was a draw. It is highly likely that today game will follow the same scenario.
