Leeds vs. Chelsea: Match Prediction
Daniel Farke's side has lost four matches in a row, with their longest losing streak in the Premier League occurring in the 2021/22 season. However, the opponents during this stretch were challenging, with three of them being in the European competition zone. Leeds faces another tough opponent, making it difficult to expect points for the hosts. Nevertheless, the team managed to score in three of these matches, indicating they won't go down without a fight.
Chelsea boasts the second-best away record in the current league season. The team has remained unbeaten in 5 of 6 matches (4 wins, 1 draw), scoring even in their sole defeat during this period. The absence of attacking issues will aid Chelsea in their match against Leeds, who rank among the bottom three for goals conceded this season. Notably, Daniel Farke's side has only managed to defeat relegation-zone teams West Ham and Everton at home in the 2025/26 Premier League season.
My prediction: Chelsea will not lose and Total Over 1.5
