Leeds vs Chelsea Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 21st August 2022
Despite the advantage of playing at home, Leeds will still feel the need to dig deep when taking on a team that ranked third last season in Chelsea for a round three match of the new Premier League campaign on Sunday. Chelsea got the better of Leeds in the last two h2h meetings, winning by 3-0 and 3-2, respectively.
With four points to their name after the initial couple of rounds in the Premier League Leeds will be tough to handle at Elland Road on Sunday. With a win and a draw to their name Chelsea have opened the new Premier League season on a good note. Adding three more points at Elland Road this coming Sunday and they will be buzzing.
Nobody likes to be on the losing side, especially so early into a new season. Leeds and Chelsea are no exception in this respect. Both teams are eager to improve from last term, leading us to expect an exciting affair at Elland Road.
Leeds go into their next Premier League match, averaging a humble 1.2 goals per game in their last ten matches, in which they scored a mundane 12 times, while conceding 15 goals. That amounts to an average of 1.5 per game, where they kept their opponents from scoring two times.
Chelsea are currently decent goalscorers, as they managed a bearable 15 goals in the past ten outings for an average of 1.5 goals a game. Their opponents scored a total of 12 goals, and while Chelsea claimed three clean sheets, they conceded an average of 1.2 goals per match.
Leeds vs Chelsea Prediction
In their last three matches, Leeds won 1-2 and 2-1 against first Brentford then Wolverhampton, before drawing 2-2 against Southampton. Leeds only pulled off two wins from a possible six in recent Premier League matches on home soil. Of the remaining four matches, they drew two and lost two, as they scored six and conceded 11 goals.
The target for Leeds this season has to be staying above the relegation zone in order to stay in the Premier League.
In their three most recent outings, Chelsea won 2-1 and 0-1 against Watford and Everton, before drawing 2-2 against Tottenham. Chelsea claimed 13 points in their last six Premier League matches, winning four, drawing once as well as losing once. They conceded three and scored 14 goals themselves.
A season somewhat above expectations could perhaps make Chelsea a contender in a title race, though they do look capable of a podium finish if catching the right momentum.
Both Leeds and visitors Chelsea seem to struggle just a wee bit much right now, with keeping a clean sheet. We go out on a limb here and suggest that, both teams will find the back of the net.
