Chelsea vs Leicester City Prediction

• Where: Stamford Bridge, London, England
• When: Saturday, August 27, 4 pm local time

Chelsea is in crisis, and Leicester, too, isn’t very impressive these days. That is why Saturday’s meeting between these two sides is highly significant for both units and their managers, particularly Thomas Tuchel. The German can’t hide his frustration anymore and is under heavy pressure from the media. On the other side, Rodgers isn’t experiencing such tensions, but still, not a single win since the beginning of the campaign is something that the Foxes and the fans didn’t expect.

Chelsea vs Leicester City Preview

Chelsea

The Blues were knocked out in Leeds, with the Peacocks packing three hits in Mendy’s net. Senegal’s goalkeeper was to blame for one ridiculous mistake, which led to a goal, but overall, the entire team played very badly.

Chelsea opened the season with a 2-0 win over Everton, and after that, played 2-2 at home with Tottenham before losing 3-0 in Leeds. The defense has been shaky and fragile, which is something uncharacteristic for Tuchel’s team since he took over the wheel.

Meanwhile, the attack is equally terrible, and all the odd moves the Blues made throughout the summer transfer window, like moving on from Lukaku and Werner are not getting back at them like a boomerang.

We don’t know what Tuchel thought once he allowed these departures without proper replacements being arranged in the meantime. It’s more than obvious that the Blues will have more problems in the attack as time goes by unless there are specific changes.

Leicester City

Three games, only one point, that is the record of the Foxes, who had a 2-0 lead against Brentford but, in the end, barely saved their skin after the Bees’ late push. Following that, Leicester visited Arsenal, losing 4-2, and then lost the most recent event at home, to Southampton, 1-2.

Again, Leicester took the lead through Maddison, who scored from a free kick, yet the Saints responded well, came back, and flipped the result upside down.

Whether this is because of poor fitness, or something else, Rodgers needs to react as soon as possible, otherwise, the Foxes could reach a nasty position. Fofana wants to leave, and he aggressively tries to force the deal, which is a big problem for the defense. His situation is justifying the issues in the back line, but the team has to make some adjustments and get back on the right course.

Chelsea vs. Leicester City Prediction

A very tricky game for picking the winner, but we believe it won’t be when it comes to scoring. Both Chelsea and Leicester have trouble in the back line, which is why we bet on both teams scoring here. This is a very realistic outcome, and the odds are solid as well.

Our verdict: Both teams to score
