Based on last 50 matches across all tournaments, up to 02/28/2024
To build a prediction for the Chelsea - Leeds match, scheduled for 28 February 2024, several key factors could influence the outcome. Chelsea have played 50 matches, in which they won 19 of them, drew 12 times and lost 19 matches. Leeds, having played 50 matches, won 25 times, drew 11 matches and lost 14 defeats. In the league, Chelsea average 1.5 goals scored per game and 1.4 conceded. Leeds average 1.7 scored and 1.3 conceded. These sides last met on 3 March 2023 at Chelsea's ground, where the home side came out on top.
I’ll make a bold prediction. I think that after a goalless but intense game against Liverpool, the team will be fired up for the match. Pochettino knows that the fight for European competition may not work out, so this is the only way to fight for the cup.
I’m ready to assume that Chelsea will open the scoring in the first half and hold on to win in the first half of the match. I looked at the lineup; an almost full-strength team has been fielded. So Leeds will most likely feel all the joys of a top team right at the start of the game.
Leeds are in second place in the Championship, the team is clearly in form, and I think they should be capable of scoring a goal against an inconsistent Chelsea.
As for Chelsea, the team has just missed out on one trophy, so there should be enough motivation.
