Liverpool vs. Chelsea Predictions

• Where: Anfield Road, Liverpool, England
• When: May 9, Saturday, 1:30 pm CET

With three rounds to go, things are complicated in the EPL standings. Liverpool still hasn’t secured its UCL spot, while Chelsea continues to fall deeper in the table. This is the Blues’ last chance to reach the place that leads to Europe, and it’s also a very important event for the Reds, who have to take three points here to ensure their position in the Champions League.

Liverpool vs. Chelsea Preview

Liverpool

The Reds lost to United last weekend, which isn’t only a big blow for their reputation and morale, but also a hit in the UCL race. For the moment, Slot’s team is still in the zone, which leads to the most prominent continental competition, but on the other hand, they aren’t as sure as before.

Liverpool has 5 defeats in the last 8 games, which tells enough about their form. Slot’ is probably leaving Anfield at the end of the season, and overall, the atmosphere in the locker room is chaotic.

The Reds’ main problem is their weak defense, as they posted only 2 clean sheets in their previous 10 meetings. They allow rivals to get into chances easily, and this isn’t the case only now, but throughout the entire campaign.

Chelsea

The Blues are in an even worse shape. They lost the UCL spot, even though many saw them as certain to qualify, and as the end of the season approaches, they look increasingly disorganized.

When discussing their current form, the only thing one needs to know is that Chelsea won 2 of the last 10 and lost the remaining 8.

Believe it or not, the Blues haven’t scored in 6 games during this streak, and what was planned to be one good campaign ended up as a major slump. And all this happened because they decided to fire Enzo Maresca early on.

Liverpool vs. Chelsea Predictions

Neither side is in good shape ahead of this event, but at least Liverpool shows signs of a fight, while Chelsea looks terrible. The most recent defeat at home, 1-3 to Forest on Monday afternoon, reflects everything we mentioned here and in the previous part of the text. Therefore, Liverpool has the upper hand when it comes to form and also the home-field advantage. That’s why we bet on the hosts to triumph and cover a 1.5-goal spread. This pick has great value, and we have to try it.

Our verdict: Liverpool -1.5
