Chelsea vs Arsenal: Predictions and Betting Tips

Chelsea

Chelsea comes into this game on the back of their happiest week in many years, having qualified for the Champions League final and in their last Premier League game they beat Manchester City, who will be their opponents in the final.

Chelsea is the second team with the second fewest goals conceded and the first home team with the fewest goals conceded, 16 goals in 17 games.

Players like Kanté, Havertz, Rudiger and Mount have been the key to Chelsea’s improvement in recent months. So they are some of the players to watch for this match.

Arsenal

Arsenal’s awful season, their chances of playing in European competition next season depended on winning the Europa League, but they were knocked out by Villarreal last week, and in the league they have an almost impossible chance of qualifying.

As an away team, Arsenal has won 8 of their 17 games, scoring 27 goals and conceding 17 goals.

Mikel Arteta’s future in charge of Arsenal, in doubt for next season.

Key Stats

• Five consecutive matches without losing for Chelsea, four wins and one draw
• Chelsea has only conceded two goals in their last five games
• Three wins, one defeat and one draw for Arsenal in their last five games in PL
• Five consecutive away matches without losing for Arsenal, three wins and two draws

Chelsea vs Arsenal Predictions

We think Arsenal today is a far inferior team to Chelsea, and the match is at Chelsea’s ground. But also in terms of collective and individual play, Chelsea is several steps ahead of Arsenal.

In terms of goals, both are quite attacking teams. Arsenal will have to go out to win so they could score a goal, but we think Chelsea will score at least two goals. So we think both will score and there will be more than 2.5 total goals.
