Manchester City vs Chelsea – Prediction, and Match Preview
Manchester City vs Chelsea – Following their 4-0 Champions League triumph over Real Madrid, Manchester City will be aiming for a repeat of their most recent performance.
In that game, Manchester City had 60% of the possession and 7 of its 16 shots on goal were successful. Bernardo Silva (23′, 37′), Manuel Akanji (76′), and Julián Alvarez (91′) scored goals for Manchester City.
Real Madrid’s opponents made 7 goal-scoring efforts, with 3 of them being successful. In their last six games, Manchester City hasn’t had any trouble finding the back of the net, scoring on each of their attempts.
In that period, they have amassed 15, while only having had three goals scored against them. If that pattern continues into this next game, we’ll find out soon enough.
Looking at their recent performances, Manchester City hasn’t lost against Chelsea in the league in the previous three games and hasn’t lost in their last 10 home league games. Teams from other countries have not exactly had it easy here.
Prior to this, Chelsea and Nottingham Forest drew 2-2 in a Premier League contest. Chelsea controlled 76% of the possession in that game and 6 of its 14 shots on goal were successful.
Raheem Sterling was the lone scorer for Chelsea (51′, 58′). Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, had 11 shots on goal, only two of which were successful. For Nottingham Forest, Taiwo Awoniyi scored (at 13 and 62 seconds).
The numbers don’t lie, as Chelsea has allowed 12 goals in their last 6 games while being scored against. Chelsea needs to fix some issues at the back.
