Command Analysis

Chelsea

England

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 and the FA Cup. In both final games, they lost to Liverpool on penalties.

In the Premier League, Thomas Tuchel's men are in 3rd place in the table with 71 points from 37 games. The Blues have one of the best defenses in the league and conceded under one goal per game. After a victory over Leeds United (3:0), Chelsea drew against Leicester (1:1).

Kovacic, Hudson-Odoi, and Chillwell are unavailable for the Blues today.

Watford

England

Watford had a poor season in the Premier League and will return to the Championship. The Hornets were knocked out of the League Cup and the FA Cup following the results of their first matches.

In the Premier League, Roy Hodgson's men have earned 23 points from six victories and five draws and sit in 19th place in the table. After a goalless draw against Everton, Watford lost to Leicester City (1:5).

The visitors will be without Sarr, Cucho, Cleverly, King, Kiko, Dennis, Kucka, Louza, and Etebo.

Do you agree with this bet?

4.85Chelsea to win by 3 goals

The visitors lost 8 of their last 10 games, and we don't think they have a chance in the upcoming fixture. Chelsea are a better team and should crush their opponents. The Blues won 2 out of 4 head-to-head games by a three-goal margin, and we will bet on the same outcome today.

Second wager — Chelsea to win by 3 goals
