LiontipsChelsea vs Leeds United. Prediction and Betting Tips for 2022-23 English Premier League (March 4, 2023).
Command Analysis
Graham Potter continues to cling to his job at Chelsea despite another week without a win or a goal. The dismal 0-2 defeat to Tottenham last time out was compounded by star defender Thiago Silva picking up an injury, and the Blues ended February by scoring just one goal in the entire month.
Potter claims he feels the players' desire to change the results, but Chelsea have scored just six times in all competitions since November 6. Additionally, the hosts are on a six-game winless run, and if that continues, it will be their longest winless streak since 1994/95. Chelsea have eight wins and seven draws to their name, which equates to 31 points and tenth place in the league table.
Azpilicueta, Broja, Kante, Mendy, Pulisic, and Silva, who has a knee injury, are unable to participate in this match.
Leeds United will strive to stop their terrible run in the tournament. The team from Yorkshire is fighting for their life in the Premier League, where they managed to get an important victory against Southampton. This allowed them to move one point above the relegation zone.
Javier Gracia's team suffered a defeat to Fulham (0-2) in the FA Cup, which Gracia himself called «unlucky», but he has little time to think about fortune as he tries to lead Leeds to a second away victory in the Premier League this season. There is hope for success, given that they were able to defeat Liverpool at Anfield.
Strike, Sinisterra, Rodrigo, Dallas, and Forshaw have been ruled out of this fixture.

Our prediction - Asian handicap (-1) to Chelsea
We assume that the hosts will take control of the game from the first minutes, which could ultimately lead to a confident victory. The Blues have a point to prove - especially at Stamford Bridge, in front of their fans.
