Which Team Has The Best Chances To Win 2020/21 Champions League?

3y ago

Since earning promotion to the English top-flight, Leeds have quickly acclimatized themselves with the weekly hassles of PL football. With another matchday on the horizon, Bielsa will be spurring his boys on to deliver a strong performance to stand a good chance of salvaging a result.

Meanwhile, Chelsea have been in tip-top form under the tutelage of newly-appointed boss Thomas Tuchel. Unbeaten in their previous 12 games across all competitions, the Blues will be brimming with confidence here, as they look to stretch this brilliant run.

Leeds vs Chelsea Team News

Known for their gung-ho footballing style, Leeds United have won lots of admirers across England this season. They are known for their positive approach in games, throwing men forward in numbers and racking up massive goals in return.

But for all their scoring exploits, the Whites have struggled to keep things tight at the back, conceding far too many goals so far. Up until now, they have let in a whopping 46 strikes – the fourth-worst defensive record in the division.

Bielsa have expressed concerns about his side’s incompetence in defense – a loophole that was exploited last time out against West Ham United. Conceding a penalty kick early in the game, Lingard stepped up to send the Hammers ahead.

The game was soon put to bed, thanks a superb effort from Craig Dawson, who rocketed a strike into the top corner of the net to condemn Leeds to a second successive loss. Now, the Peacocks have won only one of their previous five matches.

Having now dropped to the bottom-half of the standings, Leeds will be desperate for a positive result in this upcoming contest to climb back up the log. Yet to admit defeat with Tuchel in the dugout, the Blues are sure-fire favorites to win this tie.

Given they have an important Champions League clash against Atletico Madrid in midweek, Chelsea’s attention will be split between two games. But the Pensioners know they cannot wave this game aside, as they continue to mount a top-four challenge in the league.

Last time out, Chelsea continued their wonderful run with another home victory, this time around, against Ancelotti’s Everton. Clearly the better side on the night, the Blues were good value for their 2-0 win. Now, they will be hoping for more of the same here.

Leeds vs Chelsea Predictions

Even though Leeds are going through a rough patch in the league, they are more than capable of giving Chelsea a run for their money. On a downward spiral, the Whites are in dire need of points to arrest their recent slump.

But perhaps, this difficult game has come too soon for Bielsa’s men, and their hopes of salvaging a result are actually quite slim. Expecting a tough game, we shouldn’t see any more than two goals on the board come fulltime.
