Chelsea vs Liverpool Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 13th August 2023

Liverpool go up against Chelsea this coming Sunday for an exciting Premier League meeting at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea finished last season as number 12 on 44 points in the Premier League. At Stamford Bridge, they welcome Liverpool, who ended up last season as number five on 67 points.

It is early days yet, anything can happen and both Chelsea and Liverpool are still highly motivated of getting off to a good start. They both have talented squads, and we expect a cracking affair at Stamford Bridge as the teams look to get one over each other.

Liverpool scored a decent 27 goals in ten outings, or an average of 2.7 goals per game. They allowed a total of 14 goals against, an average of 1.4 goals per match, while achieving three clean sheets.

Chelsea vs Liverpool Prediction

Chelsea Form

A single point is all Chelsea have to show from their last three games, where they came up short, losing 1-0 and 4-1 against Manchester City and Manchester United respectively. Their latest match brought some consolation with a 1-1 against Newcastle. Chelsea didn't manage a single win in any of their previous six Premier League games at the Stamford Bridge. They have a record of three draws and three defeats, in which they conceded nine and scored four goals.

Chelsea enter the season as candidates for a top three finish, but more than a third place would in the end would be a rather big surprise.

Liverpool Form

In their previous three outings, Liverpool won by 0-3 against Leicester, drew 1-1 with Aston Villa, before also drawing 4-4 against Southampton. Liverpool won half their previous six away matches in the Premier League, as well as seeing two draws and suffering one defeat. They scored 16 goals whilst conceding ten.

Anything lower than at least a second place finish would probably be considered a disappointment for Liverpool, as they look to build a title challenge.

Chelsea and Liverpool seem to have a strong read on the game plan of this particular opponent, as their last three encounters offered no winner. With that in mind, the draw once again makes an attractive bet.
