Chelsea v Sheffield United Betting Tips [31 August 2019]
The match
Frank Lampard and his young charges at Chelsea (13th, four points) will look to build on their first win of the Premier League 2019/20 season, when they host a Sheffield United side (ninth, four points) that is looking to respond to its first loss of the season. The Blues started the season with a shambolic 4-0 loss at Manchester United. However, they regrouped for the UEFA Super Cup final, although they lost via penalties. That was followed by a draw against Leicester (1-1) and a win against Norwich City (3-2). Although they have struggled for wins, Chelsea have lost just once in their last seven league games (W2, D4, L1). However, playing at home, the Blues are a formidable force. They are unbeaten in ten (W6, D4) and have lost just once in their last 23 league games at Stamford Bridge (W13, D9, L1). The Blades are coming off a 2-1 win over Blackburn Rovers in the Carabao Cup that makes it an unbeaten run of three in four competitive matches (W2, D1, L1). However, the 1-0 win over Crystal Palace needs to be built upon, as they look to impress on their comeback to the top-flight for the first time since 2006/07.
Key Statistics
- Chelsea have lost only three of their 80 Premier League home matches against promoted sides (W66, D11, L3).
- Chelsea are unbeaten in their last ten Premier League home matches.
- Sheffield haven’t won at Chelsea since October 1992, when they won 2-1.
The bet of our experts
Chelsea’s young side has shown that they can put the sword across the opponents. However, there is a bit of inconsistency around Frank Lampard’s side. Sheffield haven’t really kick-started their season, but will be a difficult proposition. This game should fall in Chelsea’s bucket, considering the flowing talent within their ranks.
