Chelsea

Chelsea had a solid performance at the Champions League group stage and celebrated success over LOSC Lille in the last 16. However, the current trophy holders lost to Real Madrid in the quarterfinal match, thus failing to defend the title.

The Blues were the runners-up in the League Cup - in the final, they lost to Liverpool on penalties. To reach the fnal of the FA Cup, Chelsea defeated Crystal Palace (2:0).

Tip and bets

TipChelsea to win

2.62

In the League Cup final, 22 penalties were needed to decide a winner. The Reds were a bit more fortunate in winter, but we believe today is the day for the Blues. For Chelsea, this is the only chance of winning a trophy this season. On the other hand, Liverpool have a very busy schedule at the end of the football year - they have to win all their league games, and in two weeks they will face Real Madrid in the Champions League final. In our opinion, today the Blues have the edge.
