Chelsea vs. Manchester United Predictions

• Where: Stamford Bridge, London, England
• When: Saturday, April 18, 9 pm CET

It’s do or die for the Blues, who are trying to reach the Champions League zone and secure a spot for this competition next year. Meanwhile, Manchester United is third, with a solid gap to Chelsea, but coming off a home loss to Leeds. The hosts are in desperate need of three points, while United isn’t, and a tie is perfectly suitable for them.

Chelsea vs. Manchester United Preview

Chelsea

Liam Rosenior’s Chelsea is in the midst of a difficult spell, coming off a 3-0 home defeat to Manchester City. The Blues collapsed in recent times, losing 5 of the last 6 meetings, and complicating their situation a lot.

Sure, this team struggles with injuries, and many very important players are out. Yet the key problem for them is Enzo Maresca’s premature sacking earlier this season. It broke the team’s chemistry.

Just one of the past 9 games this team played didn’t end with three or more goals, and Chelsea allowed multiple goals in 6 events during that stretch.

Manchester United

United suffered only its second loss in its latest 11 outings. It was against Leeds at home, 1-2 on Monday night. However, this won’t hurt Bruno and the boys a lot, because they still firmly hold the ticket to the UCL next year.

There is a noticeable pattern in the Red Devils’ matches with both teams scoring in 12 of their previous 15. Also, the previous five have seen over 2.5 hits.

The team plays attractive and appealing football, trying to outscore the rivals and be offensive-minded. The bonus for Carrick here will be Harry Maguire’s return, as he served a one-game red card suspension. Though, Martinez was sent off against Leeds.

Chelsea vs. Manchester United Predictions

United’s form is better than Chelsea’s, but we won’t pick their win here. Instead, the safest move in our opinion here would be the bet on a high number of goals. The recent respective results all point to that. Both teams have unstable defense and regularly concede. Their attacks are more or less stable, noting that United’s way better than Chelsea’s. So the final pick here is both teams to score and over 2.5 goals.

Our verdict: Both teams to score and Over 2.5 goals
