Betting tips: Liverpool x Chelsea
Check out our predictions of the day for Liverpool vs. Chelsea.
Prediction 1: Liverpool x Chelsea / Liverpool to win
Although this match is notorious for its draws, the Blues have had a bit of an “all or nothing” experience while playing away from home this season. However, Liverpool’s impressive home record should be enough to get them across the finish line.
Prediction 2: Liverpool x Chelsea / First Half Draw
In their encounter, a closely fought first half is in store for Liverpool and Chelsea. Both squads will approach the match cautiously, emphasizing defensive stability rather than daring offensive moves. Few clear-cut chances will be produced as midfield clashes take center stage. By halftime, neither side will have found the breakthrough, resulting in a deadlock on the scoreboard and setting the stage for an intense second half.
Prediction 3: Liverpool x Chelsea / 1st half, both teams score – No
Liverpool and Chelsea’s matches have always been closely contested and produced less than three goals. Chelsea head to this match, keeping two clean sheets in their last three games in all competitions. The previous five meetings between these teams ended in under 2.5 goals. We believe neither team will score in this encounter’s first half.
