Chelsea picked up an extremely important three-point champion in the match against West Bromwich last weekend. This meant breaking a negative trend. In addition, the fact that one kept zero is in fact important. We remember the big losses just before, against both Bournemouth (0-3) and Watford (4-1).
We are therefore in favor of Chelsea going in and doing the job at the FA Cup meeting against Hull as well. Now, we will be strengthening from the victory at the last, and we find it hard to see that a team from Championship will be able to crash at Contes Chelsea in this meeting. After all, they have home-grown benefits as well.
Hull is at the same time in a 21st place in the Championship. They are most involved in the bottom battle, and have only managed to win 6 out of 31 played matches this season. In five days, a tough out game against Middlesbrough also awaits the league game, and it is a meeting that is significantly more important to win – after all.
Now, Hull arrives at Stamford Bridge this Friday night. It has only been possible to win two matches this year on the offside, and most likely you do not pick a third against Chelsea.
Chelsea has shown a good stability in the back line for most of the season. Until the meetings against Bournemouth and Watford, Chelsea had – together with United – released least goals in the league game. It is undeniably a confirmation that Chelsea is doing a good job in the defense game.
After the match against Hull, the Chelsea players have ten days to the next match. That means they can insert a higher gear here, and then get a rest for a couple of days extra. We think that leads to a one-sided story!
Damage also looks bright. We may expect a certain rotation from Conte in this meeting. However, it should not play anything too big because of the difference in class. Therefore, we choose to try a combination game here, to a nice 1.83 x dough.
We call a Chelsea victory + that they manage to keep zero in this match. The odds are called at Betway. Great luck at the back!
