Game Prediction
Chelsea struggled with Liverpool for the final match of the League Cup only on Sunday. Still, “the Blues” will play again in the knock-out format in London on Wednesday. This time, it will be within the 1/8 stage of the FA Cup and the opponent is more modest – Leeds United. Will Mudryk and the company have any troubles there? The website contains a detailed prediction for the confrontation on February 28, 2024.
Chelsea did its best in the previous match
“The Blues” went to Wembley well-knowing that this was their chance to turn around an overall poor season (which is the second in a row). It was possible to get hold of a trophy, albeit with a lower rating, and somehow rehabilitate itself in front of the fans. After all, there was no noticeable progress in the Premier League after the invitation of Pochettino and the reshuffling of the squad in the previous off-season. As a result, the team, with a decent fight, conceded from van Dijk at the end of extra time in the battle against Liverpool. Generally speaking, there is already something to boast about in the cup: the replay game, which took place on the away arena, gave an opportunity to knock out Aston Villa.
Leeds United’s priority is not the cup confrontation
“The Whites” failed to become regulars in the Premier League. People are still arguing whether it was worth it, a little less than two years ago, in a far from hopeless situation, to dismiss Bielsa, who had raised the most popular club from the Championship after a long pause, and at first looked cheerful with “the Peacocks” in the Premier League? In any case, the team managed to retain its place in the elite division in 2022, but it was relegated quite naturally in the previous spring. Still, the management didn’t come to terms with this and, having called Farke, who is famous for successful fight in the Championship, and is trying to be promoted from the very first trial. And the club, towards the end of winter, became Lester’s main pursuer. It was with “the Foxes” that the team played in the previous round – and it turned out great, the game was won with a 3-1 score. It is clear that the main forces and attention “go” there. As for the cup confrontation, even Plymouth was overcome only in the replay match, although the opponent was beaten – 4-1.
Previous head-to-head matches
