We recommend that you review our betting tip and choose your exact bets
Command Analysis
Sunderland
Current form
Sunderland seemed to have already accepted finishing in the second half of the table. However, the wards of Regis Le Brice have played well in recent matches and are competing for European competition before the final round. The black cats are just one point behind their current opponent, who completes the top seven. At the same time, if Liverpool beat Aston Villa, England will get the eighth place for their clubs in European competitions next season. Sunderland is approaching the upcoming match on a three-match winless streak, in which they lost to Wolverhampton (1-1) and Manchester United (0-0), and also beat Everton 3-1 on the road.
Disqualifications and injuries
Mandl will not play due to injury, Ballard will serve a suspension, Alderete is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
Sunderland have won only one of their seven previous matches on home turf.
In three of Sunderland's last five matches, there has been an exchange of goals scored.
At the end of the season, Chelsea has backed itself into a corner, risking being left without European cups altogether. Before the final round, the Aristocrats occupy the seventh place, which allows them to play in the Conference League. At the same time, the gap from Brighton, which is in line above, is only one point. However, there is no margin of safety in front of competitors: Brentford is behind only in additional indicators, and Sunderland is one point behind. It is worth noting that under the leadership of Calum MacFarlane, Chelsea at least now looks decent. In the last two rounds, the Aristocrats drew away with Liverpool (1-1) and defeated Tottenham at home (2-1).
Disqualifications and injuries
Estevao and Gittens will not play due to injuries. Gusteau, Joao Pedro and Lavia are questionable.
Interesting betting trends
In the previous three matches, Chelsea had not lost in the first half.
No more than two goals have been scored in three of the last five matches of the Aristocrats.
The match is a key one for the allocation of European Cup tickets, and the opponents have no problems with motivation. In such meetings, experience often comes to the fore, and here Chelsea has an obvious advantage. Plus, it should be noted that after Calum MacFarlane took over the club, there has been some progress, as evidenced by the four points scored in the matches against Liverpool and Tottenham.
For all its recent achievements, Sunderland has slowed down decently in home matches, due to which it has achieved many successes before. The Black Cats have lost four of the previous six matches on their own field and are unlikely to be able to take points from an opponent superior in class.
Our prediction is that Chelsea will win by a factor of 2.04
In the last six home matches, Sunderland have scored only two goals, in four cases they failed to hit the opponents' goal. Chelsea has stabilized its defensive game, is focused strictly on results today and is able to win back to zero.
The second bet is that Sunderland will not score with a coefficient of 3.10
A bet on yellow cards
The opponents are extremely motivated to achieve results, you can expect a tight fight and an abundance of yellow cards. Moreover, according to statistics, in seven out of ten previous Sunderland matches, the referees showed at least four yellow cards.
The betting tip is that the total number of yellow cards is more than 3.5 with a coefficient of 1.51
xG (from English "expected goals" translates as "expected goals") is the sum of the probabilities of scoring chances, a mathematical value calculated taking into account the parameters of potential scoring chances, which include shots on goal and dangerous moments without finishing shots.
