Chelsea vs Liverpool Prediction
In their previous meeting earlier this season, Chelsea won 2-1 at home and both teams are a perfectly balanced 4-4-5 in their last 13 meetings. Over is 4-1 in their last 5 meetings.
In this Chelsea vs Liverpool Prediction, Liverpool is coming as -125 home favorites. With just three game weeks left both teams have something to play for, but Chelsea has been in terrible form lately, with a 2-8 record in its last 10 games across all competitions. On the flip side, Liverpool has been very strong at home and is 3-1 in its last four home games, having a better offense this season and having won its last two home meetings against Chelsea, so I expect them to get the job done in front of their home crowd today.
