Chelsea vs Sheffield United prediction and betting tips on December 16, 2023
In the 17th round of the English Premier League, Chelsea will play against Sheffield United in front of their home stands. The guests are in the relegation zone and could be a good opportunity for the “aristocrats” to score another three points.
Chelsea
The home team will definitely not be able to break into the fight for the championship title, although in theory they have the opportunity to compete for a place in the Champions League zone.
They are now 10 points ahead of the relegation zone and 12 points behind the European Cup zone, sitting in 12th place in the standings.
In the last five matches, Chelsea has only one victory and is approaching the game with an outsider on a streak of two defeats in a row.
Sheffield United
The guests are confidently at the bottom of the standings and so far they have very little chance of getting out of this situation.
Before the end of the season in the Premier League, Sheffield is 5 points behind the saving place and it is not yet clear how the team will be able to eliminate it.
In general, the club has probably already accepted that they will return to the Championship after the very first season in the elite of English football.
Interesting facts and match prediction
Sheffield have lost nine of their last 11 matches and have conceded at least two goals in 12 of their last 14 matches.
“Aristocrats” score a lot when playing on their home field. At the same time, they concede a lot, but in the game against Sheffield United they can keep the goal locked. I will bet that the total of the match will be more than 3 at odds of 1.7.
