Chelsea

The aristocrats have failed to demonstrate stability in the current season, hence finding themselves once again in the middle of the league table. Last Monday, the Blues defeated the strong Newcastle at home with a score of 3-2 in the Premier League, although prior to that, they dropped points in an away match against Brentford. Chelsea can boast of their presence in the final of the League Cup, where they lost to Liverpool in extra time. It is worth noting that in the FA Cup, the Blues faced tough opponents such as Aston Villa and Leeds, making Preston seem like an easier option in comparison.

Leicester

The Foxes are doing everything possible to return to the elite division next season. For a long time, Leicester confidently led in the Championship, staying ahead of competitors by a significant margin of points. However, a series of defeats and a draw against Hull in the last round have reduced their lead over Leeds to just three points. Ipswich is just four points behind. Thus, Enzo Maresca's team has created problems for themselves in the final stages of the season. On their way to the quarter-finals, Leicester defeated Millwall, Birmingham, and Bournemouth. As they say, there's something to compare!

Interesting facts about the match and the history of head-to-head meetings

Chelsea vs Leicester Prediction

Leicester seems to have faltered in their results lately. While it cannot be said that Chelsea has been exemplary in this regard, comparing Leicester's performance earlier in the year to now reveals a noticeable difference. Therefore, it's not surprising that Chelsea is favored with odds of only 1.45 for victory. Our bet is "Chelsea to win with a handicap (-1.0)" with odds of 1.68.
